charter companies OP

[higbort]

litterally any NPC nation can unrealistically use them. im seeing ottomans in brunei, while not owning egypt [somehow got around africa and chartered there] im seeing hormuzian south africa, and i am seeing timurid madagascar. there needs to be some more requirements to establish a charter company than just large amounts of money.

now im seeing mamlukian bengal and somalian ceylon

[Admod, the Equivocal]

But large amounts of money is what gives the most options realistically.

there should be an option in game settings that says "realistic charter companies" and is automatically turned on. the option would make it so only certain nations that realistically were big colonisers can make charter companies. there would also be a semi-realistic option that would just make it so the non-colonial nations have to spend an absurd amount of cash to create a charter company. and then ofcourse you could turn the option off so it is like it currently is.

Best way to implement it is that Charter Companies need to be created by a Colonist.

Also, is it just my game or are there a LOT of countries becoming Republics since the new update.

Papal india ftw... :p

It would make sense if one could create charter company only if he finished Exploration or Expansion ideas.

It did create some funny scenario late game. But i agree that they should limit only to colonizer. It weird seeing lubeck, austria or papal trade company...

Not weird for Lübeck, they were focused on trade.

yeah make the free final idea for expansion ideas the ability to create charter companies... and you must have researched the diplomatic idea "chartered companies"

[Crim]

Did Colonizing Lubeck with Random New World
Zero New Work Ports connected into the North Sea
le sigh

I think some exaggeration has gone on in the anecdotes presented since the target province must be within coring range...

I will say it made Queen of Mercury notably easier as I was able to buy Thana instead of having to fight a war against 2/3 of India to take it. Not that I wouldn't have eventually been able to take it anyway but it did save me a couple of hours at least...

We hardly need more idea-set railroading.
