Hard to Colonize - East Greenland

[WhatCanYouDo]

Watafak is this? Why do I need adm level 79 to colonize East Greenland? It got settled by norsemen at 980s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_colonization_of_North_America#Greenland) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Greenland)

Yet I can not colonize it and need to wait like 400 years until I can colonize Eiriksfjord because East Greenland is basically impossible to colonize it.

*Note* I'm using Extended Timeline mod which may affected this. I wonder if this is in the base game

It's not in the base game.

You need ADM L78 to colonise it because it replicates the climate. Norsemen most definitely did not colonise that particular area in 980AD. There are even a series of maps in the link you provided that shows that the areas that were colonised in 980AD correspond correctly to the ones that qweytr has made colonisable in the game and it says in the 5th line down that "Icelandic Vikings settled its southwestern coast."

Your own link shows that your claims are wrong and qweytr's representation is right.

ye, but what I mean is that you should be able to colonize Southern Greenland around 980s as thats what the norseman Erik the Red did. It is not possible to do that because of the innacurate colonial range that takes about 400 years before you can do it.

The easy answer is that the EU IV engine is not made to span thousands of years, thus it does not model climate change.
Which was the reason south greendland became habitable for europeans during the 800s to 1200s, after that it simply was too cold for agriculture. So to settle there again europeans needed reliable support via ship and that took until the 1600s.
The Thule and Dorset cultures that came form the americas did not rely on agriculture so they were not afected that much after the warm medival periode of 800-1200.

Should be an event where norse gets "southern greenland settled" and automatically gets southern greendland to its realm.

If only qweytr had a thread pinned to the top of the ET Workshop page called "Event Ideas" or "Suggestions" ...

I have different problem. I have already level 79 diplomatic and also 79 level of administration tech, but still can not send colonists. I am Czechoslovakian ruler and want to complete colonization of Alaska and Australia (do not ask, it was really insane tour...)

Dont know if any game mechanics have been changed. Started Norway campaign in 637. Managed to get colony in Canada around 890. You get to 100 colonial range with tech. You also need the age bonus for norwegian culture +33% colonial range. You can also try to get a navigator advisor and at tech 30 you will get to 3 ideagroup that give you the idea with 40 % colonialrange. I started by colonizing Akureyri and then Reykjavik. Then you should have enough range to get to Eiriksfjord. From there you have easy accsess to North America since the distance to Eriksfjord is the longest distance to get.
