Granting Statehood?

[unmerged(12244)]

Hi, i have fought a colonial war with Tunis and took everything except TUnis but i cant build any factories in these provinces.
It says i have to grant them statehodd first. So i read in the manual but i cant see anything about it.

So how do i grant statehood?
Do i have to take Tunis also?
Is it a certain amount of time before i can granting them statehood?

Please help me!

since i m guessing its not on a direct land connection o the same contanent as you, you need more of your people there before you can claim it. needs i belive 50.1% or more of your culture of people there.

that seems impossible, its only arabic people there now and Im the two Italys. To have more then 50% Italianos there will probably never happen , atleast not during these gameplay years its -48 now.
I dont like this , isnt 50% to much? everybody happy with this?
Then i will never be able to build factories in any colony.

The majority of one province of the region must be of state culture. While this is less, it still is a lot to expect... but then again colonies are for collecting resources, not building refined goods

Maybe so but for a small country to be able to suceed as a Industrial power the colonies shuolc be able to industrialise.
If not so for gameplay reasons. Atleast lower it to 30% so by 1912 you could buil one factory or something.

It doesn't need to be over 50% in general, though. It just needs to be a majority. If you have seven cultures at 30% (National culture), 29%, 25%, 6%, 5%, 3%, and 2%, for instance, then you'd still be able to create a state, and it would be at the 30% you requested. I don't know how to solve your original request on ways to make it a state, since I don't own the game, and can't experiment with promoting immigration by Italians, so I would recommend that you sweep north if you want to industrialize more regions.

Ha,Ha, promoting Immigrants, that should be a feature, if only
Well , thanks anyway.

Actually, I thought I read somewhere that, in order to grant statehood, a colony had to be on the same continent as your nation. Or am I just going slowly insane?

If it is on the same continent as your capitol, the same culture rule doesn't apply.

I'm very interested in what Granting Statehood does as well. Playing as the US in the GC I granted statehood to Florida and couldn't see the difference. I can only guess that perhaps that gives you a major claim to the area or perhaps it affects certain issues the people have in the area. Anybody know where I can find out more detailed info on this option?

it lets you build factories, and recruit non-colonial/native troops(i think, im not sure)

 

[TheDarkside]

granting statehood makes it essentially a part of your country. You can build factories and recruit national soldiers there, as the guy above me said

 

[unmerged(20292)]

How did you grant statehood to Florida????????

Never mind, I just saw you need the 1.01 patch to grant statehood manually. See, it pays to stop playing.


I still haven't been able to figure out how to grant statehood, to FL for example, playing as US. Help!

I guess it doesn't really matter, because my war with Great Britain is in its 4 year (and going very poorly, they pushed me out of Canada and now own Vermont, and Minnesota), almost every state has a revolt of one kind or another. . .

And yet I am oddly happy -- great game.

But, back to topic, how does one grant statehood?

I am in a game where, as the USA, I gave a colony statehood and the yankees were only 5% of the population . The religion was 90% pagan. Are you saying I should not have been able to do that???
