Not with the default forum theme: I see white on blue. Anyway, you can switch from the bottom left.
So me and 3 of my friends have been playing a game for the last couple weeks, a few hours a night whenever we all have spare time. Unfortunately, I chose Portugal and have pretty much conquered all of Mexico, Caribbean, South America and North America, alongside the west coast of Africa. I was enjoying earning many hundreds of ducats a month but now with this update, suddenly I am earning a negative amount, and have to deal with colonies which is just a joke.
Considering we started a game knowing how to play and all of a sudden, midway through, everything was torn apart, is pissing me off. We have decided to put our game on hiatus while we think of a way to revert back to the older version. Is there a way for us to play on the older patch, so that we can finish the game we started, without having a patch that massively affects me halfway through our game? Like, I am happy with the update, but when we are already halfway through the game and there is a change as massive as this, it actually makes us want t o restart and lose the hundreds of hours we just invested over the last few weeks/months.
I am the host, if I download an older version of Europa and host it, will everyone run the older version? How does that work? Is there some sort of solution to my problem?

I would rather have the randomized worlds left to mod makers. I think the core of paradox gameplay is a static start so we can all compare what everyone has done in the game
Issues related to patch 1.4 and the dlc.
I think the patch improves the game and solves many pre-existing problems in elegant and interesting ways. There are some issues that might be reasonably addressed in a hotfix.
1 - cardinals, your colonial minors get their own cardinals that support you in the curia. This went unnoticed with vassals, but now becomes an issue since the large catholic colonizers don't get their provinces directly.
2 - conquering indians, the idea of protectorates and that they don't grant colonization range is good, makes sense, however, conquer 5 indian minors in a region and you establish the colonial minor, the colonial minor gives you range. I'd suggest that establishing a colonial minor would require primary culture provinces, and that primary culture provinces get added to the minor. Right now you can sail an army to mexico, conquer the aztecs and all of a sudden you have colonial range everywhere and all the mexico provinces have been cored. This colonial minor gets Aztec culture accepted immediately. Previously you could vassalize or annex release the aztecs, they just didn't provide colonial range until they reached a certain technology.
3 - colonial minor administration, I don't think that colonial minors should have different religions and/or different accepted cultures as their overlord. As long as the colonial master assigns governors it should be picking state religion and accepted culture.
4 - nerfs, timely nerfs were done on russia, prussia and sweden. prussia could do with a bit more nerf, I'd suggest some sort of triggered modifier which gave it full prussian ideas with a 6 mil monarch, scaling down for lesser monarchs, with 0 mil monarchs giving 10% bonuses to morale, infantry combat and discipline. But, for the love of god WHY DID YOU NOT NERF GHAZI?
