Hello everybody.
After years of Europa Universalis 3 i decided to buy the fascinating Europa Universalis: Rome. I read some good reviews and i liked it. (Please don't ask me to register it as I have some problems with the Paradox guys that don't understand what a FAN / BUYER means)

First of all, can someone please how I can colonize Liguria and Bononia, as I have some missions to do it in exchange for some cores

Click on the provinces, and there should be a colonise option there. If it is greyed out, you need to wait until the population or civilisation values in the neighbouring provinces are high enough.

To colonize a province you need:

1) That your province that neighbours it has at least 50 civilization and 10 population
2) Barbarian power in the province you want to colonise is 2 or below

Barbarian power is decreased when a barbarian horde appears in the province. An easy way to do it is to put your troops in the province and wait for the barbarians to appear, it may take a while.

Note that barbarian power in the province you colonise will remain 1 (and barbarian power grows with time, so may go higher), so it means barbarian hordes can spawn there and destroy your colony (destroy=it becomes again a colonizable province). So keep some troops ready in case when they (if they) spawn. After a while, barbarian power will go to 0, and the colony will become a regular barbarian-free province.

Thank you both ... I understood that this colonizing process is something that doesn't involve the player to much. All we do is WAIT
Now ... a second question.

I have seen in the army panel a new option that allows me (I guess) to put some troops under the command of a region governor ... How is that working?

When you have an army in a region (other than your capital region) and the army has no general, you can attach it to that region and its governor will also become the general of that army, but the army will not be allowed to travel outside the region's borders until they are detached. Attaching the army will increase the loyalty of the governor (and decrease it when you detach them), and also reduces revolt risk in the provinces per cohort attached. So, if you have a problematic region with high RR, you can attach an army full of militia to keep them happy. Or you can attach a couple of armies to a region where you want to fight a localised war - this could be useful as the requirements for governors are lower than the requirements for generals.
