Why are the Eire and Scottish cities still colonies?

[unmerged(34818)]

I conquered Eire and Scotland but even though the cities were bigger than 1000 they were still colnies. Is it worth sending colonists? How long b4 they change to english cities?

Thank you

Anything under 5000 citizens is considered a colonial city, that is to say, you can send colonists to them.

It's (generally) not worth sending colonists. And they won't change to english cities (for two reasons: 1) colonial cities in Europe don't change culture 2) if the current culture of a city is that which is assigned in the province.csv, it will never change after it's become a colonial city)

u r right forza... it s no need to colonize that cities because they ll not change culture.

They wouldn't change anyway the cities are too big for a colonist to change them.

EDIT: Oops typo reversed the meaning of that o

Doesn't your production income from a province increase as your population increases? of course that still doesn't justify sending colonists since that would take forever

sending colonies in that cities costs 20 ducats. for 1000 population u need 200ducats. your income will be higher for 0.0005 ducats on month. tell me then: is the sending of colonies profitable? surely, not.

European colonial cities with more than 1000 inhabitans can't change culture.. that only applies for true colonial cities (up to 5000) that you conquer in the New world..

European provinces with less than 1000 will change culture through colonisation.. Iceland, Kola etc.

Actually the population must be below 900 when there are no natives and below 800 when there are natives. To change religion and/or culture adding a colonist must not result in city status after the colonist is added.
