Viva La Republic: The Mexico Exploit.

[DDRJake]

It gets better. Annex the natives, release them as vassals of your religion then sell them colonies. They will pay to grow them for you, then when you integrate your vassals, their colonies are your culture, your religion and your core.

It is certainly a strong opening, but you are very vulnerable while setting it up. I did this for 3 games in EU3 and got so bored of colonising that I never did it again. I've done it 3 times in EU4 now and doubt I'll do it again in a hurry.

Already known. I used the release-vassal/fleet basing exploit in our in-house office MP

Don't fix it. Its one of the few things you can do as an OPM that can be semi fun. Its tough atm expanding.

I'm fairly sure it will be fixed, but you can probably do the same thing just a little bit later/differently.
