What is the point? Taiwan is an island where nothing happens. Divide it in 3 and it will take a bit longer to colonize it, that's all.

nothing happened?
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?795908-A-small-suggestion-to-the-new-map
I quote myself from the above link:
"I heard that Paradox is going to add more provinces in the new expansion, especially in African and Asia, and that made me wonder if they will make Formosa(Taiwan) into a 2-3 provinces island this time, just like they did in the Heart of Iron series.
IMO this will make the game more historical(and fun,) because it could represent an interesting(and usually be forgotten) chapter in the Eighty Years War, the Dutch-Spanish rivalry in East Asia. Due to its strategic and trade importance, Dutch VOC colonized the southern part of Formosa in 1624 in order to disturb the Spanish trade route from China to Philippines. As a respond, Spanish also colonized the northern part of Formosa two years later. Before the latter was expelled by the former in 1642, the Spanish Formosa actually lasted for 16 years. Dutch Formosa also ruled the Formosa for almost 40 years.
Unfortunately this historical fact could not be seen because Formosa only got one province in the current version. 16 years might not be that long in EU standard, but I think it's long enough for Paradox to pay a little little bit more attention to Formosa(Taiwan,) an island that almost as large as Belgium and an important hot spot for the colonial empire such as Dutch and Spain(or even Japan.)
Given the reason above, I'll suggest to divide Formosa(Taiwan) into at least two provinces(northern and southern part.) It should not be difficult to make that minor change to the map(given the fact that they're going to add more provinces in Asia and they already did in VIC and HOI series.)
Any thought?"

Yes, because the only reason (for many people) to play EU4 is to make as many pixels have the same color as possible.
There's not particularly much else to do, so you can't really blame them.

To be fair, that's partly because doing so dominates all other strategies (i.e., the most heavily rewarded thing to do at any time is to work towards directly coring more provinces), and people shape their strategies and mental models about the game accordingly.
There are also European New provinces? Like a splitted Sardinia, and Ticino for Milan\Switzerland?
Why would they do that? After 1420, the entirety of the island was owned by same country until this day.
That would be nice, but there are far more important provinces they should add in Europe.
Like other area of the world. If you simply inherit\receive the Island of course it couse is integrity remain the same, but in a game where merchant republics can be around fighting in 1700, I think a splitted Sardina could be fine.
Was an example to say all. :happy:
Most of England was ruled by the same country from 1420 untill today. Why didn't they make England just 1 province? Or 2 because of the civil war...
Yes, you are very funny. 10 points to you. I knew someone would make a comment like that.
Where's the problem? That's the same argument. At least two provinces wouldn't hurt Sicily.
I dont know if how it is, but i would love if country could buy ships from other nations (both options, sell and buy, only selling is mentioned though). Like Japan buying ships from England because england has better dip tech and better navy.
funny how they revealed more about art of war here in the forums then they did in the fangathering XD
I just Hope FOR ALL OUR SAKE they give Wiz time and assistence prepering the AI.... Or else "dumb" will have a new meaning.
Johan. the AI IS a player. pls respect that fact.

The AI is more than just a player. It's the sole entity a majority of players interact with, seeing as how the majority of the playerbase plays single player. This fact places even more responsibility on making sure the AI can properly use the new mechanics.
Whether Paradox is aware of that has yet to be seen, but I would like to believe Wiz can get it done.
This. Wiz already said something similar to this about France too. If performance is not a limit (which it sadly is), as many provinces as possible (with historical precedence) should be added.
