Found Colony oddity

[Dayvit78]

I've been playing the update (all DLC, no mods). It's been very smooth, except for one thing.

I'm trying to found a colony in a place that lost all its pop so it became wild again. There are three neighboring provinces. If they don't have the requirements (int culture, religion and 8 pops), the tool tip will say what's wrong. BUT if one of them meets the requirement, it no longer shows that province and I can't found the colony. I've moved around the pops in each of the 3 neighboring provinces and whichever one meets the requirement, it won't show it. Now I'm waiting to see if I can get 2 provinces to meet the requirement to see if it works. If not, I'll post a bug later.

But just checking if anyone else met this problem before.

Something does seem to be afoot here. I have the same issue as you, but I discovered that it's still possible to colonize under some circumstances.

Here you can see that I can colonize Amphissa, in thet middle of the image, from Megara where all the arrows are heading, even though Roman is not the primary culture there. I have no integrated cultures. I also had a situation where I was able to colonize a settlement in Iberia a few years after conquering the area around it, but I didn't take note of why this had been. When I try to colonize old school style, I get the same issue as you.

I have had this issue as well and i saw that the territory i couldn't colonise had a holy site and that was the only difference i could find.

I checked and this seems to be the common theme in all the uncolonizable settlements in my game.
