this mod is dead

Can you make a version that causes random nations to take Colonial Ideas each game? I'm sick of the usual players.

I take it that this mod is not updated???

Does is work with 1.19?

can you pleas update this mod ... for the holy pie?

Can you please update the mod :) ?

I can Franz-Joseph land now!

Can you Update the mod? Im excited to use this but I can't since the games just updated

when i saw austria i thought of world war I

Thanks for the quick reaction

I modified the national ideas

What files did you exactely modify to make this mod? I want to try making a mod like this but I don't know all the right folders.

is it possible to get a direct link, because my steam has become retarded and doesn't want to download eu4 mods anymore.....

Yesterday i was playing the mod and today it says the mod is not compatible with 1.9.2

@tmurphy5919
Possibly, I'm trying to decide how to proceed.

are you going to update for 1.8?

hey, would you make a version that only makes western/eastern nations colonize? dont feel exactly for cherokan la-plata and mali mexco youst yet...

Austria-la pls tell me this is a thing.

I won't be working on Byzantium in this mod. They are doomed. I may make a mod similar to "Albania's Chance" for Byzantium, but I don't want to put in the time for Byzantium.

Maybe try to buff Byzantium and let them colonize. just for fun :D

A remastered version sounds like a good idea, keep working on this mod, it is really good. Morocco finally got to South America, for some reason I find him cute, colonising next to Portugal

Add Kilwa, they could stand a chance against the European if it had colonies and westernized

Glad you like it! I plan to make a remastered version at some point, and really go more in-depth and complex.

I LOVE THIS MOD! I was on observe mode, and Morocco was being cute by losing 7 explorers to the North Equatorial Current. Naaaaaaw. Then he lost his 8th explorer in a 2 minute war with Portugal and Castile

Scotland did attempt to colonize the americas, most notably in the Darien Expedition to coloniser what is now Panama which sadly failed.

fair enough

If you want Byzantium to colonize the new world, you can play Byzantium and try to colonize. I don't want to put the work in to let a doomed nation that is too far away from anything to colonize.

well it is an alt history so why not byzantium I want to lead new constantinope to domination of the americas!!!

Historically the Ottomans, with the help of those little sultanates that they owned (basically part of the ottomans, under ottoman protection and everything, just under the name of being independant) did try to colonize India. However, the Portuguese and Ethiopian empires prevented that, resulting in Goa being colonized by the Portuguese and the Ottomans owning what they owned.

Even if Byzantium manages to overcome the Ottoman Empire (Which it won't), it is still too far inland to colonize much. I may add it in the future, but it is highly unlikely.

and what Byzantium ?

She already colonizes, assuming England doesn't conquer it.

Why no Scotland?

Only for japan, at this point. I may tweak it in the future.

So does this also increase colonizing range?

On occasion, if it holds the union it can be a powerhouse. But the aim of this mod is not to alter the properties of nations in such a way that they don't die instantly, it is simply to allow them to have a shot at colonization. Perhaps in the future I may make a mod akin to that ideal.

That is quite true. The randomness does make it a lot better, but Poland is REALLY weak.

I considered buffing Poland, but I reverted back because I don't feel it's a nessesary change. Nations will rise and fall in EU4, that's part of the game, France may be a world power one game, and an OPM the next. I think that the randomness is part of what makes this mod, and this game, so interesting.

Maybe make it so Poland doesnt disappear from the world map so fast. In my games, Poland is gone before 1550 because of Russia, Austria, Hungary, Denmark and HRE states

Turns out Poland was already in the colonization race! Description will be upated.

Sounds like a plan! Expect an update soon!

can you add Poland to the colonization race ?
It does own most of eastern europe and is one of the most powerful nations in EU4
(or it has the potential to be with lithuanian union)

Fun Fact
Poland actually had colonies !

it used to own the island of tobago (trindad and tobago)
and
it used to own a small city in the Gambia ( The nation of Gambia)


It also tried colonizing in the interwar years

it tried to colonize madagascar, cameroon and parts of brazil
sadly all failed
Cameroon was too much of a mess
France didnt want to give up Madagascar
and
Brazil kicked out the polsih farmers once they found out they were trying to take over brazillian land

before more schemes of colonization could happened
Germany invaded

ok, thx =)

Go to documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/Mod/More Colonizing Nations/Common/Countries, find the .txt files of all the nations you don't want to have colonize, and replace exploration_ideas with the idea of your choice. Also, I wouldnt exactly call Qing a minor nation :P

FINALLY! A mod I waited for for am loooooong time. But I dont really like the idea of Minor countries colonizing, such as Qing or Inca. Can you maybe tell me how to re-edit this?

korea took over all of the world... AWESOME! SAMSUNG AND KPOP EVERYWHERE!

It's a possibility, I don't know how it will work though, being a horde and everything...

no timurids? :P

Ok, and It would be funny to see Ming Colonize.

I found that Russia's eastern expansion interferes with Japanese and Korean colonization in the region, due to Russia's nearly limitless manpower. Russia should get there eventually, it will just be slower. I may tweak it in the future.
