Yes, it is.

just a question, is this compatible with Anbennar by any chance?

@cyruscheung520 the 1/4 version (75%) is slower. I've just released a configurable version here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3262353215 . You can choose between 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% slower (90% means a tenth of the regular speed, so very slow).

May I know which one is slower this version or the 1/4 Version?

hell yeah, this is perfect

@Ckasaron I made a special 1/4 version just for you: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3259094213

Let me know how it is and if a 1/8 would be good.

I think colonization should probably be more like 1/4 or even 1/8 the current speed, if only because colonies get called automatically into mainland European wars (when realistically before the 1800s they were too far away to seriously partake) and/or colonies should not count towards mainland European objective-centered war score. Thus, for example, full-occupying Spain with no remaining allies on their side should give you 100% WS, whether their colonies are occupied or not.

@Palpat it should work without a problem since my mod doesn't overwrite any game files and is self-contained. Let me know if you can't see the debuff or something and I can try and fix it.

Do you think this would be compatible with "Colonial scepticism" mod?
That one adds financial penalties with events + block regions.

I would like to use both mods, as EU4 colonization is way, way too fast & easy.

@BossOfThisGymX the modifiers expire and are recalculated on a yearly basis for all countries. Example: when you research a new technology that adds, say, +20 settler increase, the mod will then apply a −10 settler increase debuff. Meaning that the effect of the mod is an overall reduction of 50% in the global settler increase of all countries (wherever the settler increase was coming from).

Another example: if you have native suppression policy, which adds +20 settler increase, the mod will apply a −10 debuff. If you then change to another policy, the –10 debuff will be removed.

Didn't test it yet but do the slower colonization modifiers expire with tech advance? Would make sense or maybe even swap it with the tech bonuses 👀
