Portugal Vassal-AI colonizing

[Dragonheart]

Hi everyone,

Does a Portugal Vassal-AI reduced to Lissabon and some island still colonize?


I´m playing Spain and have no colonization-ambitions, i want them to do my job....but it seems to me that nothing happens since i vassalized them.

From what I've seen they should (if they have enough money).

Well then i will give them some subsidies to do so.

It might work if you give them large subsidies, i'd say at least 5 ducats/month, and if you annex them later on, all their colonial nations should become your colonial nations.

Or you could give them back some of their cores. Be a nice overlord

I think you would have to. Didn't they prevent subsidies to vassals in 1.5? I think it was to prevent an infinite money exploit.

I think they prevented subsidies to colonial subjects. I don't know how vassal could give infinite money, as they can't give more than they recieve.

Well it says ...

- Absolute maximum subsidies that can be given is now 50% of monthly income.
- Absolute minimum subsidies that can be given is now 0.1 ducats/month.

But sending them money, let´s say 250 in one shot, is a present not a subsidy isn´t it?

Yeah send them money as gifts as much as you want. I usually give my colonial nations 1000 or so if I want them to colonise and conquer.

Even a small Portugal with 3 provinces does colonize, maybe it has something to do with the luck factor. It might take them some time though to regenerate from the wars before vassalization.
