Is 5 a cap for priests,merchants,diplomatics,spies and colonists?

[contecorti]

As soon as i reach 5 diplomats,merchants,priests, colonists or spies it seems that i don't receive any more of these people?
Is 5 a cap?If it is a cap was it introduced for balancing reasons?
Anyway could this limit be raised because it is really a problem if you are running the country running national ideas,types of government and so on specialized in a single sector.For example if i want to specialize in commerce and i get +4 merchants having this limit is really troubling.

5 is the cap. If you can't use your +4 merchants each year then why do you specialize so that you get it? Why not spend your adviserslot\sliders on something else? I personally do not have a problem with the 5 cap as it would unbalance things if you could stockpile more.

well in a game starting in 1453 if you have +2 colonists without a limit untill starting cononisation or +2 missionaries till the reformation. Well you are going to have a massive back log.

I wish it was moddable; id like to use 6 as the cap.

Call me old fashioned...

can you imagine having 2 merchants a year for two hundred years, and then sending them all in one day... talk about a monopoly!

Having said that, how do i edit this limit?
