Hello everyone. Today we’ll continue talking about subject interactions for Common Sense.


First of all. You can now always change the name and adjective of your colonial nation with a modify action on the subject screen.

Placate Local Ruler & Embargo Rivals, which we talked about last week, can of course also be done on protectorates and colonial nations.


Send Officers
This is a toggle that can be turned on/off on protectorates. When on, the overlord will pay an additional 33% of that nations land maintenance costs. However, their Liberty Desire is reduced by 10% as long as its on, and they get +20% Land Morale and +5% Discipline.


Divert Trade
This is another toggle on protectorates. While its on, you get 100% of their tradepower, but their Liberty Desire is increased by 30%.


Seize Territory
As you can’t integrate protectorates, but sometimes need some territory from them, you can now seize provinces from them. However, you need to have positive relation with them, and their liberty desire need to be below 50. The province you take have to be within coring range, and taking it will have severe impact on their desire to stay a protectorate.


Tariffs
Increase and Decrease Tariffs for Colonial Nations have been moved into this screen. Of course that is still accessible if you dont buy Common Sense.


Replace Governor
If a colonial nation is below 50% Liberty Desire, you can attempt to replace the governor up to once a year, but it will increase Liberty Desire slightly.


Start Colonial War
Now, you can always demand that your colonial nation (if at peace, and not having a truce), start a colonial war against someone they have a casus belli upon. Colonial Nations now also get casus bellis on all adjacent primitives.


Promote Investments
Trade companies have a toggle now, where you can increase the tradepower by 50%, for a small ticking increase of inflation.

Next week we’ll talk about new nations, new ideas and gameplay balance tweaks.

Here's a bonus screenshot of some possible Parliament issues for Great Britain..

What's the point of replacing a governor?

Control of their abilities.. and its a 4/2/2 or 2/4/2 or 2/2/4 guy, so is better than whoever they want.

Will this draw the parent nation (and other subjects) into the war or will the colonial nation fight it alone?

Fight it alone, like all other colonial wars.. :)

What are the crowns next to the fort icons in the first screen shot?

They show provinces that have capital forts but not regular forts (so a fort level but no zone of control).

yeah +2 merc every 10 years, in 50 years you'll have +40% trade power...

If you are that lucky to get that issue in the pool every time.

Wait, this is pretty big, so instead of having 4 provinces to not create a CN you can colonize more making it a CN but then just demand back all provinces.. can you demand a CN's last province?

Protectorate, not CN.
 
Never having played EU4, I always imagined that was the case. I certainly remember seing custom names for Colonial Nations. Can't players change the names of the provinces that belong to their colonial nations?

You could always name them but not REname them.

If you replace militarist governors they're a lot less likely to pick fights with other colonies.

Can you confirm if you can annex OPM protectorates, or slowly annex a protectorate fully every time you seize territory?

You can't seize their capital, but you can continuously take provinces if you wait for LD to tick down inbetween.
