Be able to mark an area for colonisation, then after like 70 dyas an event pops up saying you can colonise it, also every 70 days a adjacent land gets colonised for a random colony

Make colonial flags for big powers like britain. Also make it so that it's more likely for a colonial master like britain would take over let's say indonesia faster then let's say china which isn't even united.

I have to say. Countries colonize way too quickly. In my last game Ireland owned all of Egypt and Sudan in a few months since starting the game. My only suggestion to counter it is that, when you make the decision version of the map, you have a decision that you can only click every half a year for 150pp that makes you colonize a random province in a continent, for instance:

Look for a colony in Oceania: 150pp
Look for a colony in Africa: 150pp

and so on.
If you're really good with modding, you could even make it a GUI.

I will try to include your ideas. I will also work on some balance issues as well ! Thank you for your feedback this helps a lot at deveolping and updating the mod !!

Further suggestion.
You could make it so there's three tiers of colonization available countries, which could work like this:

If you have less than 75 factories, colonizing costs 300 political power.
If you have 75 to 150 factories, colonizing costs 200 political power.
If you have more than 150 factories, colonizing costs 100 political power.

This way, you ensure a balance where stronger countries get more colonies, while weaker ones are forced to save up to even get a single colony, making it more realistic.

Disable colonizing for communist countries (or make them release their colonies once they switch) as that wouldn't exactly be sensible, my first game I played with this, Republican Spain owned most of South America.

I had a plan to make a decisions system that let's you choose what areas are colonizable. You could have a list of decisions that make the natives annex some land. This would end the "why can't this area be colonized?" complaints as well as the "why cant I take over the world as Ethiopia in this mod?" complaints.
