Can't colonize state BUG

[MetalMonk]

Playing as Hindustan I'm trying to do Azadi Achievment and somehowe Im forbidden to colonize Naga because its impassable terrain...
Does someone have a way to complete it?

[Alex]

Is the terrain between your territory and the area you wish to colonize impassable? Or is the target itself somehow impassable?

[MetalMonk]

My state of Asama is incorporated state and split state between me and Decentralized nation of Naga, touches directly Impasable terrain. Whole country of Naga is in impassable state.
I remember there was the same issuse back with colonizing Argentina Southern Islands where it was also impassable and it was even at coast and you couldnt colonize it.
Yet if you play as USA there is no issue when you colonize imppasable terrain of Alaska.

Again I spent so much time to do this hard achievments and Bugs ruin it eh... oh Vicky...

Not a bug. You cannot colonize through impassable terrain.
You need to border whatever section of the state that is not colonized AND passable.

I have border with it -_-

And? You cannot colonize the impassable parts of states. Never have been able to.

[MetalMonk]

Yes you can as USA when you colonize Alaska

[MetalMonk]

Even when you colonize African Sahara it impasable terrain is being colonized when you order to do it

[Dredge]

i know in some places you cant colonize if another nation already has a claim to that area. like in s.america, i wonder if something like that is going on

Alaska isnt entirely impassible. The impassible section is not colonized.
African Sahara is an excellent example of impassible terrain not being colonizable. If you border a colonizable section of the state. You can colonize. Otherwise you cannot.

Nah, this is totally a bug. Either in design or implementation. I was doing the same thing. Naga is colonizable. I've colonized it. Colonization stopped with a completely impassible chunk being missed in the top corner just like the original poster.

In other areas, like Alaska and African Sahara, the impassible sections get filled in. It is not happening here. This isn't an issue like the area around Chad where you can't reach it because of an impassible section, but the entire decentralized state being impassible. I believe this is caused by the randomness of which chunks are colonized and the fact that multiple decentralized nations exist in that state for some reason.

At least we don't have to build Panama Canal in the Suez anymore.
