Playing as Portugal, in 1515 I decided before the time limit runs out I decided to test my ability to overrun the African states of Mali and Songhai to see if those states are crap to play because of lack of Attrition. Well its pretty much the same as EU3 with barely any attrition I managed to march from the coast to Timbuktu and back suffering 0 attrition on a 10k stack and wipe out any resistance with minimal loses. The fact I was able to transport 10k (and spain 20k) that distance and then march across harsh terrain while maintaining strong supply lines in 1515 isn't fun. To top it off I managed to convert all the Muslim provinces in under a year and core them in no time. I will totally endorse implementing the attrition system for pagans from CK2 which reduced supply limit dramatically for all American, African and South East Asian kingdoms, and making coring costs 200% more expensive.

One of the things i hate most is when players suggest the game should use more attrition.
Please, no. Managing war exhaustion and manpower is already severely limiting at the current level. The biggest issue is that attrition is simply not a fun mechanic, and would prefer just about anything else instead.

More powerful African nations would not hurt though. African nations were never conquered in the timeline of EU4. The entire coast was never colonised. Will be interesting to see if an update or a mod will somehow solve this.
In the worst case scenario, you can just remove the African nations and make mostly everything in Africa, except for a few specific coastal areas, permanent terra incognita. That way you won't see any crazy African conquests in the 1500s.

There's a defensive idea that gives -50% land attrition. Since I hate micromanaging stack sizes and attrition, this is a no-brainer for me.
I find it however weird that your 10k stack took no attrition at all.

In Africa, south of Sahara down to south Africa. Europeans should have a supply limit at ONE (1) regiment.
