How about new provinces in Africa?

[DEEPGAME]

Especially south africa is so empty. Between kongo and mutapa there can be two new provinces. Like a walk path.

Also south west african coast can expand through cape of good hope. Some new provinves near lake victoria to colonize would be great as well.

The only region in Africa that is in need of a rework is the tripartite island of Madagascar.

absolutely

Madagascar needs love.

If Paradox is willing to add 20+ tags in West Africa that had very little interaction with the RotW beyond the slave trade, I don't see a reason why there is a reason to add at least a few tags to the Great Lakes region. In fact, East Africa was also an important supplier of slaves during this time period. I'd honestly like to see 4-5 new tags in Kenya/Uganda/Rwanda/Burundi/Tanzania as well as in Madagascar.

I wouldn't say the only region, but Madagascar should definitely be the first target for improvement before the rest of the continent. Divide it up into 8 - 10 provinces, give us at least a Merina tag (more would be nice, but Merina really needs to be in the game), and it will finally be on par with similar islands like Borneo...

The Great Lakes region too IMO.

I think it would be nice to be able to colonize at least all of africas coastline, could even be base tax 1 provinces with a +100% development cost

I actually would advocate for doing the opposite of that, modifying the existing provinces to be more like Arguin as small, isolated posts would be a real aesthetical and realistic improvement. Towards the topic in general, I think realistically Madagascar deserves a rework, and even the central african Sahel could use a couple historical nations like Waddai and Shilluk. The Great Lakes kingdoms would be a iffy addition in terms of gameplay, but honestly with the Siberian clan councils already in the game it's hard to argue against them. Even Ethiopia could use some releasable tags, and the Somalian provinces a general development buff, at least in Adal, as Adal was Ethiopia's mortal foe for most of the time period, but ingame is generally smashed and annexed in one or two wars.

The problem is that european AI goes to Africa instead of the Americas.
