Westernisation as Kongo

[Aries666]

Looking to westernise as Kongo I took Trarza from Jolof. Trarza shares a sea zone with Arguin, which is now surrounded by wasteland but I cant use this province to westernise off. Is this right? Arguin isn't part of a trade company and I can't use Cape Verde because it is part of a trade company.

Also is it possible to westernise off a CN I just put a colony next to Portuguese Brazil but I'm guessing the colony would need to finish first?

Something appears to be wrong with westernisation here. I have a core next to a CN, I took Ifni off Morroco which borders the Canaries, neither allows me to westernise. When I look at the button it says I am not far enough behind Jolof to westernise. Jolof isn't even western and is behind me in tech.

Tooltip aside, unless they've changed it you need a land border. Alternatively just conquer Cape Verde, if it has a Portuguese core you can westernise off it.
