Natives and gold

[Mixxer5]

Well, that happened really often during the exploration era, when rich natives gave gold to Conquistadores and Conquistadores in exchange gave them some pearl or... Cold steel

It'd be good then to have some kind of interaction with natives (other than raping, plundering and conquering)

That's true, infact Spanish forces won over Inca's and Aztec's thanks to support of the populations who where oppressed by Incas and Aztecs

this wasn't suppressed.

I love how people keep quoting a moderator, instead of the developer - Especially when "we" are specifically referring to developer posts. :mellow:

Since the suppression of the thread, there was no official announcement about what the rules are. The last remnant of this episode is what I quoted. AFAIK, moderators are one of the voice of Paradox, as well as developpers. I know you are refferring to dev posts, but they don't exist anymore, so I use what I have.
If paradox would have get their shit together and stop leaving us in the dark by specifying rules earlier, that would have been great, because it would avoid other people to make up the rules themselves.

ps: Don't be condescending this way, it's kinda offensive, and it doesn't make you look smarter

A huge problem in EU3, at least early on before numerous xpacs, was that there were no gold-sinks for the new world and african natives, leading them to have huge amounts of gold by the time Europeans reached them. Euros could then easily farm them for gold, repeatedly robbing everything they had for ridiculous amounts. From playing the demo it looks like this is still going to be an issue as I see some natives with 5k+ gold. A friend playing the modded demo as Prussia even robbed CHEROKEE, certainly not the richest of native nations, of 4800+ gold when he reached them. Not sure how to fix this, but it is kind of lame that colonizers can farm them for huge amounts of monies and pretty much never have to worry about their budget again. Natives really need some kind of gold sink to spend ducats on.

Well that was fun wasn't it?

If that is what you find condescending, I think you need to re-think what the word means to you. :happy:

Using the third person to speak about someone you just quoted is disdainful whether you want it to or not.

No use of third-person there - Nor referring to you. Actually quite the opposite... :huh:
