Yep, I still use it when playing my own mods. Glad it still works for you too =)

This mod still works. I tested it with 21 other mods (including extended timeline) and played for about 20 years as Portugal in 1540. The decision was visible and after 20 years I triggered it for a Brazilian colonial nation.

UPDATE - Updated to 1.36. Also added more slots (up to C99) just in case you or the AI are particularly fond of colonial spam.

very cool, thank god this still works

Very welcome bud; hope you enjoy!

Truth be told I hadn't actually tested it, since I assumed it would break. Turns out it works just fine, even beside a handful of other mods, so all is well. Thanks

Hi Comrade,

Glad you like it! It should work as is without an update (as Colonial Nations haven't been touched as far as I know). Is it working fine for you?

This is quite literally the perfect mod for what I would like. Are there any plans to update it past 1.31, or is it simply too much hassle?

Fair enough - you're very welcome to do so; I could give it a go but I'm currently juggling other mods at the moment!

Thanks. Features of eu4 modding allows you to set conditions for those who have a dlc and those who do not have it. When I have more free time, I can offer a "working code" to solve this problem and make the mod playable for everyone at once.

Ok so unfortunately if I were to change the colonial type to Crown Colony/Self Governing types etc. I'd automatically cut out those users who don't have the Leviathan expansion. So I think it's best that I maintain the default colonial nation type for the time being.

However, for those who DO have Leviathan (yourself included @Dimonius) I've included a link here to a folder that contains the requested changes. Simply download this and extract the contents (the "decision" folder) to your mod folder in Steam; the specific location should be something like Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/GAME NUMBER/MOD NUMBER (if you're unsure of the specific game and mod numbers they should look like a string of numbers; to get the correct ones try looking for images in the folders that tell you which game or mod it is).

The link in question can be found here;

Enjoy!

I'll look into this

Yeap. I am sure, when i form colonies it's form old colonies type, and i can't switch it to anyone else, because just haven't botton for this. Think crowncolony type would be better. Same - goverment reform should be to crowncolony type. I test it for myself, change for myself and it's work how it must be.
Paradox just let to be old colonies type subject and made 3 new one, wich you can choice when you form colonies, but with decision you obviosly can't do this now, so colonies just forever be old colonies type.

You mean switch all of them to crown colonies? Are you sure they're not automatically crown colonies?

Can you pls update this to form "new" colonial - like crown, not old "colonial nation" type? Because with old colonise type you can't do new mechanics.

It works with Beyond Typus' expanded colonial regions; I haven't made it for any other games at present - hopefully that's the one you're playing! =P

Even still, it should work with other mods fine, although not for the new colonial regions added (except for Beyond Typus as I said).

Thanks Zipzopdippidybopbop! would this work with new colonial regions added by mods

Hi Motherland4Life,

It should! I still use it =)

does this still work??

Hello :)

This is one precious jewel !

Finally one can have Carribean CN and freely control Panama Canal.

Heartly thanks for this :)


Names fix would be great but not necessary, imo.

Thanks for the reply.

It would be nice for immersion/flavor.
But if it isn't technically possible, I will manage to survive without it :P

Hi Sovi;

I can look into making Colonial Nation names being customised, but it might run the risk of borking other nations.

Essentially, the colony system works by claiming a number, say C03 - if you conquer a colonial nation like C01 and another nation is formed elsewhere, it will reuse C01, giving it the same name as the former colonial nation that existed there (e.g. a colony in Australia called French Canada).

There's an included script that fires to correct this pending such an event, but I dunno if it'd work with customised names.

Anyways, I'll have a look into it and see what I can do ;)

I like this mod. Gives me a semi-solution to a "problem" I wanted solved (Colonial Nations expanding where I don't want them to).

Would be really nice if I could rename the Colonies, though.

Hi MountainHound_z;

The colony may be named Newfoundland due to a previous colonial nation being destroyed (subsequent new colonies will take their "slot", so to speak).

However, a script will fire that renames the colony to its proper name (e.g. English Cuba/Hispaniola/West Indies etc.); if you are at war it might not fire until the war ends, so give it a few months ingame after ;)

You can't rename colonial nations after the event. I got the problem where the caribbean cn is named Newfoundland...

Nice. I can finally colonize new world as a confucianist nation.
