Stuck Colonial Era: Having 60% of population supporting revolutionaries

[ImGladUmad]

So Im stuck in the Colonial era because my people are always @ 47-49% supporting revolutionaries....No matter how many revolutionary missions I do(loot raids take forever), the percentage doesn't change.


I think the problem is, that pro crown immigrants keep coming to the island....My island already has 532 inhabitants....I feel like I need to cap the immigrants but I don't think I can, perhaps if I stop building things, they will stop coming......Either that or start killing people who support the crown.


Anybody ran into this problem?

Well, to be honest, your citizen's needs doesn't really matter during the colonial era, since there are no elections, rebels or factions ultimatums.
That's why many players stays in the colonial era for a long time, piling up money to face the big spendings of the next eras, where the citizen's needs matter.

Thank you! I somehow completely missed this.

Also, you can kill die-hard royalists. What I do is spare any royalists that have revolutionary family, which means there is no penalty to killing them except the loss of population. If a die-hard royalist has moderate royalist family, whelp sucks to be them, because they both die.

Thanks for the thread. And great idea ATXFerret about killing revolutionaries.
