Is it just me?

[Kedryn]

After colonising most of North America, all of the Carribean, all of South Africa, nearly all of the Spice Islands area and small parts of India, not one new non-event-created COT has appeared. It used to be that the second I established my first colony in an area, not long after, a COT would appear; but now... nothing. So I was wondering if it's just me. It's 1580 in my game... maybe it takes longer in 1.02? Is this a bug? Am I being impatient? Am I overreacting? No one else colonises, so I know they have no new COT's.

that does sound wierd, ive seen 3 prov cots from for england, surrounded by my regional cot.
it might be a bug in 1.02, i think all of mine happened in my game before i upgraded. sorry i cna t be of more help

Interesting, I was beginning to think the same thing.

Usually after setting up a couple of colonies and trading posts in the Caribbean, a new CoT forms in one of the islands....... but now, as the poster, I own the entire Caribbean with at least 1500 people per island, and pumped St. Martin to over 5,000, and no CoT has formed yet. In fact, when I whacked Benin and took over Ivoria, all the Caribbean stuff shifted there from Liguria...... That CoT is currently worth over 2500 in trade value, and me and Kongo are the only ones trading in it........ this does seem rather weird.

PS>... the only CoT's that have formed so far in my game (it is 1617), are the event ones in Anglia, Andalusia and Holland...... Thrace never happened, as I torched the Ottoman's a long time ago.

For me as Huron, it was the other way. I had a brilliant CoT at Manhattan. France had one colony in NA, and suddenly they got a new CoT there, taking away half of the trade from my CoT in Manhattan.

But that was in the 18th century, so maybe it is just a question of time.

Not long after I posted this, I got a COT in Wagga. The most out of place colony in my empire, but there it was.

Hmmm...... I'm feeling left out. But no biggy, Ivoria is now up to 3120, and I've got the monopoly. Damn thing is the highest yielding CoT in the game at the moment.... Never seen one get this high before. Oh well, no complaints......

You wouldn't mind if I slipped 1 little merchant in there, would you? Just starting my first game as a minor, it would REALLY help out...

 

[unmerged(6811)]

Tell you what Grunthex.... I've got the space in the CoT for 5 of your merchants. Care to do a little horse trading for future concessions?

As a side note, I wish there was a way to 'lock-out' just one CoT, instead of having to trade embargo everyone that knew about it. Same type of effect as a trade embargo, but only affecting one particular CoT, like this tasty one in Ivoria.....

Well, in my not-quite-complete Russia game, I've got a fully monopolized Samarkand worth about 2900, lots of room. If you were planning to start something in the mid-east, we could work something out.

Bargained well and done. I believe that to be a most fair deal.

Oh, its up to 3393 now, still no other CoT's on the map.......

Wagga usually always gets a cot in my games. doesnt add up to much, but its always there
