One of my colonial subjects just declared war on me. The screen says it all.

once liberty desire reaches 100% the auto DOW you.... so they didn´t think, now they will pay the price!!
And if you win Liberty desire only goes down by a little bit so better ease off on those taxes...
They did think : liberty desire was only at 98%.
The good thing : after the peace treaty, I was able to increase tariffs even more due to the loss of liberty desire.
You're one harsh colonial master! >.<They did think : liberty desire was only at 98%.

But what can they do ? Even if they DoW together at the same time, they stand absolutely no chance. See how the forces are unbalanced.
There must be a reason why no colony managed in that game to achieve independence. The metropolis are too strong.
Unless one day, one of those colonies decide to enter into a treaty of "Support Independence" with several of your rivals, enemies, and influential nations in your vicinity and proceed to coalition bang you to the ground afterwards.
Can they initiate such a treaty ? Ask for help ? Or do they have to wait until one my enemies decides to support their independence ?
Anyway, has anybody seen independent colonies ?
At least if you are the lesser partner in a PU you can ask other countries to support your independence (takes a diplo relation slot of course), so I guess the same is true for colonial states...
yep have fun fighting your colonies plus major powers in Europe, colony with 60k + France 250k + random others vs my 100k, didn't end very well
How did your colony grow that much ? My New World might be a bit small, so colonies can hardly field more than 30K.
Also, the more you tax them, the less money they have, the less troops they can field... and the less dangerous they become. I noticed a real decrease of the size of my subject's armies. So if you decide to cross the 50% liberty desire step, do it outright and bleed them.
My colonies as Norway field around 70-30k soldiers each, they combined have around 200k.
But then again i feed them money and have the tariffs low, around 25%. So that may be the reason for why they can field more troops.
Troops and ships are not free, even for the colonies.

most of my colonies end up with about 30k-40k but that one happened to be on the trade node leading to Western Europe and i was sending all the other colonies trade through them so their node was worth quite a bit and they had 40% trade power so i assume they were making quite a bit
