Colony not growing?

[TopCat5665]

I've purchased AOW, and I've started a new game as England. I'm trying to colinise Africa, but it's not actually growing... Anyone know what's up?

Tropical.

Tropical.

So can I not colonise tropical provinces at all? Or will I need a tech?

You need to boost your settler rate. There are ideas in the exploration and expansion tree that do this. There are also events that will fire that give your colonists a boost. And policies. There might be an adviser too. It's hard to impossible to colonize tropical until your get these boosts.

Okay, thanks.

apart form that, certain levels of tech also increase it.

it tends to be best to avoid tropical provinces unless you really need them if you could also colonsie soemthing else, as they just take so long to colonise.
