It wasn't Westerners who called the Empty Quarter the Empty Quarter, y'know.

No. There needed to keep boundaries and to stop some werid things happening/quick growth without using gamey exploits. We have more provinces already than we really should.

That's not entirely the reason Bishop. It is more along the lines of those being actual wastelands.

Half of the coloniseable provinces fill the same requirement for "wastelands" in that definition then. Only the northern and the mountains would count. We already have a few deserts we're able to control rather than them being wastelands and we have areas of rainforest we can settle or just barren areas that can be ruled so it is rather gameplay over realism on it.
Well, by Wasteland, I mostly mean the actual Sahara Desert, and the Amazon forest. Those are the worse of the bunch. Pretty sure thats the same reason part of the Western coast of Africa is a wasteland, considering IRL, even today, that area is pretty much a wasteland.
Nice for a simple mod, but territories in inland Alaska, Africa and Amazonas just were not colonizable with the scope of building a self-sustaining settlement within the timeframe of the game...
One thing I do wonder though, why isn't more of the coastal region of Australia colonizable. Or is it similar to part of the western coast of Africa? Basically inhospitable.
Look, if you want hospitable land, do not go to Australia. That's what hollywood teaches you, and as we all know, hollywood is never wrong. Ever.

Whats wrong with the addition of the wasteland colouring mechanics being set as a default option within the game settings?
Some parts of the rockies were not wasteland and neither is most of central africa, especially around the congo river and great african lakes, I think in some areas there should be a provincial modifier making new provinces in these wastelands really unattractive but still colonizable/conquerable...
Like for instance:
-50/-100 local settler increase
and really high attrition

Something like a malarial bonus? going far beyond the current adverse colonial affects as of current
yeah... but we still had some kingdoms in those areas...

Yeah, I dont know how you would represent that without destroying balance though, surely you could defensively make them have something like +10 attrition but then they would wreck in offensive wars.
More land should be added in the area of the great lakes and the congo river should, otherwise it wouldn't be logical to have the provinces in the kongo and west africa because all tropical areas of africa are malaria ridden
