How to help my colony?

[Shushen]

Right so my colony is under attack by castillian canada and will loose without my help. So how do i help them? I cant seem find a way to join their war and i cant give them any troops. I dont even have a CB on castillian canada or spain for that matter.

Is there really no way to give them a hand?

Enforce Peace on the colony that's attacking you. It'll bring you in on the side of your colony (and the AI will then do the same to their colony, bringing you in a war vs the colony owner).

It's fairly easy. You should "enforce peace" on Castilian Canada.

That's what you want. You just have to send it; they don't need to accept it. If they refuse to accept it, you get called in to defend your colonial nation against them.

Thanks that worked.

On the subject of colonies. I have reduced England to London and Kent in europe but they still have a few colonial nations under them. How to i get my hands on those? What happens to them if i vassalise England?

Annex England and they're yours, Vassalise England and they'll become independent.

Hm

Now i got England to 99% warscore but i suspect they got some puny colony somewhere that stops me from annexing them. I occupy 3 provinces but the ledger says they have 3. But i cant find the damn thing!

Anything that can help me locate the bastard?

You can only get to 99% with full occupation. You need to wait for a while until they are more desperate.

You only get 100% warscore once the ticking warscore is 25 in your favour

Oh i had occupied the wargoal for far longer than that. But i finally found the last english province, in california....

When i occupied that, bam 100% and annexed.

 

[Shushen]

Aaand one of Englands colonies declared independance in the middle of the war (cant really blame them really) After annexing England i inherited that war. But i got no option to vassalise, revoking independance or anything. I fully occupied them got 100% warscore, couldnt annex them, and annexing would have played hell with my overextension anyway. Forced them to admit defeat but after that they ended up as an independant country.

Sometimes, this game....

One way to help your colony is by not doing bad stuff to them (Yes I know cpt. obvious). For example, don't give them a billion provinces with a different religion and culture.
