Inability to Westernize?

[JQuacker]

My core, Castile's core. I'm 15 techs behind them. Why can I not westernize?

''Not part of trade company''

How can I tell if it's actually been made into a trade company? I don't see anything on the province window. The province history doesn't mention anything about being a trade company.

Spanish province is probably part of trade company. It should be in the province window, on the left side. If not, try turning on the trade company mapmode and then hovering over the Spanish province there

That did it. Found something online about the trade company icon is removed for non-western techs.

Lovely. Guess I get to go to America!


Thanks for your help.

Try to keep up in miltech, you can then take the province from them and westernize that way. With DIP 7 though you can probably just hope somewhere non-TC.
