Natives don't attack soldiers/colonies from countries with matching culture and religion

This really only affects American countries and maybe a handful of African countries. It makes sense that they would have an easier time moving through said territory, as well as 'integrating them' into their nation.

I disagree. It's an interesting idea but I feel that even though the province has the native culture and religion, the fighting represents that there are locals there that are not part of your empire and your trying to make them part of your empire.

I think reduced attacks would make more sense.

But either way its a pretty minor bonus.

A more substantial bonus would be for you to get double bonus for the natives of same culture in the colony. Just like the french national idea.

There also shouldn't be any jungle wasteland for countries with capitals on that continent.

Actually in history atlas I found Africa had emerging states in the strip from Congo Delta to lake Tanganyka... at around 1500AD.

Africa is actually quite abstract for EU4.
The only real colonies were on the few islands. The rest were all trading posts because there were local kingdoms and tribes controlling everything.

Mostly true, a good indicator for how much colonisation happened in africa in eu4 can be seen by looking at africa at the start of vic2. A few colonies but mostly just protectorates.

Or you can look at actual maps from the 1500's, 1600's, 1700's, and 1800.

Pretty much nothing but trading posts until the 1750's.

I could but then I wouldnät be using a common standard for both measurements.

Having Trading posts implemented would be interesting. Like a colony, but set up with a specific nation and province; If the nation loses the province, you lose the post. Takes a merchant to set up, like a colonist to a colony. Gives you a significant amount of trade power in that node and increases trade value and give the province owner boosted trade power too. Extends colony and naval supply range. Something like that. maybe make protectorates not cost diplo-up-keep. Then you'd want to actually use it, protectorate-ing them to keep your tradeposts safe. .
