Events to increase barbarian power

[unmerged(7192)]

I was thinking that the big black Russian steppe (what was it called 2000 years ago?) would constantly add barbarian power to provinces in what's now Poland.

Right now, it's a little to easy to colonize right up into Poland, and the nations on the north shore of the Black Sea have no credible threat from barbarians.

But, if provinces near the terra incognito had the potential for +100 barbarian power events, then it would slow down colonization greatly.

it wouldnt slow you down you would get slaughtered by 100,000 angry Russian barbarions thirsty for blood and vodka

There are 3 ways to slow colonization.

a) make it more difficult for provinces to get over 50 civ value

b) fill in every empty province with a tribal kingdom

c) remove colonization entirely

diffferent mods are exploring different solutions. increasing barb power is a relativel weak solution, because barb power resets when a horde spawns, and hordes go all over the map. They need only pillage 1 frontier province.

In my new Barbarian events, I have an event which spawns a horde and gives the province back barbarian_power...although it's still a weak solution.

slowing down colonization... What if we did it the EU2/EU3 way, that it cost you cash to colonize? Say, 20g/province? Wonder if it's possible.
And about being slaughtered by 100k angry russians, that wouldnt happen. If they start in poland they'll die of attrition before they even reach greece/italy.
