We can now choose an option to auto-merge partial pops at game start.

come back mommy

Did Paradox fix this with 1.2 or is it still needed?

Does this mean that others cannot migrate to you, since their country closes borders?

Yes you can set the minimum amount of pop converted/assimilated.

So you can put let say the minimum amount to 100-1k and that would remove the most problematic of the immigrants.

@gjh4028

Almost 0, AI is not capable of building enough buildings to hold all population, migration won't help them.

how negative does it do to AI economy? any idea? 80%?

yes, but the problem is we can only build big cities in the region with lots of pop. And it is a big nerf for England cause it lacks pop.

@Ivanacco1

1. It's very hard to measure to what extend should assimilation be buffed, considering there are many very very different cases to cover. I believe the current implementation (almost non-factor) is pretty decent.

2. I doubt how many resources can be saved even if max buffed. New pop will keep coming in and only a percentage of them will be converted each time. Thus the number of different groups not reduced, just minor groups having much less population. Not 100% sure so if you have some well controlled experiment please correct me.

An easier fix is just to increase assimilation

coool and interesting
