About slaves...
Dear developer, your mod is awesome! Congratulations, It has been ages since I had played a mod for long hours without getting sick of it.

I get the point of having slaves because of the colonial period, but still - in my opinion - it's a very racist feature to have ingame (the way it is)... And there isn't much point on them (more cons them pros). It is as barbarous as a WWII game where you have to bring jews to concentration camps while playing as a german.

So here is what I propose: make it possible to send your prisoners to your colonies (it was something that the countries usually did in the dawn of the colonial period) - and abolish the slavery from the game (:

just because something might be racist doesn't mean it should be taken out.
and the slaves (in my games) have been my one of my main sources of profit.

"Racist?" How could anyone design any historical mod without using history? Chronological snobbery and moral comparisons for a video game? Give it a rest. Moreover, death camps and slavery are entriely different (Both bad) animals. This type of comment is what's wrong with the internet in general: People with blinding and blathering ignorance speaking authoritatively. If this really offends you then don't play historical mods, in fact don't read about history, try to avoid it all together.

This isn't set in the dawn of the Colonial Era nor is it even remotely similar to the genocide of an entire people.

It's based on a historical period, guess what colonization did, kill off millions of people, but you're fine with that? Yeah this isn't a topic that needs to be discussed, slavery is barbarous just like the past so just get over it.

Also they dont even have a race so it really can't be racist. Not to mention your proposal to use prisoners as a replacement workers IS STILL slavery lol

You know the ransom brokers in the game that you sell prisoners to? They are slave traders. If you have ever sold someone to a broker (or god forbid the guy in Tihres) you captured and sold slaves. More so that most of them (ask them) become galley slaves which was a death sentence.

You can count it, like making them free citizen in your new world towns. They don't do something more, than old world village dwellers do.

This game draws its inspiration from history. And is based in a fantasy setting of our own colonial era where slavery happend... ALOT. Regardless of how you feel to add as much authenticity slavery is a feature that can and should be implemented. If you don't like it. Don't use it. Plus it's quite selfish of you to think only black people were slaves. White people were sold into slavery throughout history as well as black people, the only reason people are so sore about the colonial stuff is because its the most recent, most people also tend to forget many black people sold their own people into slavery. Slavery sees no race, just flesh. End of discussion.

I understand what you are saying, I am glad to hear you aren't one of those stupid dank memers going around screaming seige heil or whatever, but I don't think it's in there to encourage slavery, it's YOUR choice, your own morality determines what you do and don't do.

If you can't accept the "dark" bits of history and yes it was "barbarous" than why even play it, but so was the world in that time also what you are proposing is slavery to just point out (and pritty much unpossible)
