Fine for proposed expansion. Few decades? as in 1625 for example?Norrefeldt said:
Let it start 1616, when Denmark have the event Danish East Indian Company.YodaMaster said:
I was wrong here! In my last tests France brilliantly colonizes Louisiana but still failing to connect with Grand Lacs.Bordic said:And still no French in Biloxi-Mobile, always Dutch colonists there!
The low trade values could actually be a bugfix, and all the rest too if we want to speed up the process. the changes are so minor and only fine tuning, so it matters little.YodaMaster said:
What does it mean area B and area A? Sorry I am no expert about it but I believe we could add these areas to the ENG AI files:Norrefeldt said:
area = { Georgia Newfoundland "Hudson Bay" Labrador }region = { BarrierReefSea BarrierreefSea OceaniaSea SWPacificSea SEPacificSea Australia }area = { "Grand Lacs" Papua Botany Kanguru Maori Papua Tasmania }combat = { BGL MAH MOG VIJ MYS }
My tests were done before the liftetime of POR explorers were cut down, and then it worked. I think we can leave new tests to the new map.YodaMaster said:
I agree that it sounds like good things to add. Even better would be to see the effects of adding these entries in a test.Bordic said:What does it mean area B and area A? Sorry I am no expert about it but I believe we could add these areas to the ENG AI files:
at least Georgia in the area of ENG_1635.ai and ENG_1740.aiCode:area = { Georgia Newfoundland "Hudson Bay" Labrador }
and probably also Newfoundland "Hudson Bay" Labrador.
In my conducted tests Savannah and Alabama were being good colonized, while no good colonization was in Northern Canada. DOn't know why...
And in ENG_1740.ai or better in a new AI file after 1770s (Cook's explorations) I would suggest to add
andCode:region = { BarrierReefSea BarrierreefSea OceaniaSea SWPacificSea SEPacificSea Australia }
amongst the other ones already in 1740.ai.Code:area = { "Grand Lacs" Papua Botany Kanguru Maori Papua Tasmania }
In this way we can see England colonize at least Australia.
About British penetration in India shouldn't add these tags to
or any other Indian country tag to the ENG AI 1740 file, as to let the British form their colonial empire?Code:combat = { BGL MAH MOG VIJ MYS }

sturmvogel said:Well, every province that I listed, with the possible exception of the latest settlement dates, is a full city by 1600. I don't know if you're doing the same or leaving many of them as TPs, but 30,000 odd ducats is pretty hard to manage if you're colonizing all them with all three buildings and fighting wars for 60+ years in the century. The Spanish really are able to have their cake and eat it too. They colonized most of a continent and fight major European powers for decades at a time. Fodoron couldn't do both in his test, but I don't like his solution of adding colonists and money (only in the early game). If you want to compile a report like his where you tried to both settle and fight wars on a historical basis I'd certainly like to read it.
But a lot of this goes back to the game's fundamental flaws where colonization is too expensive and warfare is too cheap. I'm really hoping that the new map will perpetuate the same manpower numbers for a given area, regardless of how many extra provinces are added. Or even reduce them as nobody could afford to keep 180,000 men under arms indefinitely. Not even Spain. But that's trivially easy for a major power with a decent number of provinces.
