In-game it doesn't, but on the selection screen it does. I've never noticed the problem before.

Oh wait... I think I know why you experience this. It's in the 1492 scenario, right? I'll fix it for the next patch...
 
Aragon's and Grenada's flags also don't fly above their cities even though they're obviously there, in the 1492 scenario.
 
I think the United Kingdom deserves cores on India after 1820.

Without it, India is simply not worth conquering it. Too much badboy, stability, -60% tax, wrong cultures, wrong religion, no religious sliders for that area and so on.
No sensible UK player will conquer India, so if you want them to do that you need to give them a little push.

Giving the UK cores on India after 1820, slowly but steadily, will do it imo.
 
I don't like that for the sole reason that it would only make India more valuable for one nation.

Take Indonesia, which was historically Dutch and Portuguese: every nation can get the same riches out of that area, not just these 2. Why should India be any different?

No, I don't like that solution. I wish Johan would do something about religious and cultural malices in a patch instead.
 
Couldn't you give cores to India for countries having some possessions there already, so anyone who has a brigdehead there could attempt to take over the whole?

Did FAL put you up to suggesting this? :p

I don't like this idea either.

Nope, I came up with it on my own to have a solution that could vary by the way how game goes. ;)

Still, for the Age of Imperialism the very acts of Imperialism should be seen as actually useful things to do as they were for the Powers of that age, but hardly are for countries of EU2.

That was my idea too!

But Hive refuses simply to make India more attractive for the imperial powers :(

We won't see much India occupied by Europeans Hive...
 
FAL said:
Perhaps you can explain why you don't want Europeans to take India, Indochina and such, as they did historical?

I do, but I don't like colonial cores to be handed out left and right. There must be some other way... hmmm...

*cough* common culture *cough*
 
As I was saying to you on ICQ, I have a few ideas for events.

In the 1568, Portugal should start with a CoT in Goa, and have a TP in Bombay. It should also have Buru, Manado, Tindore and Colombo.

In 1661, there should be an event, between England and Portugal, where Charles II marries a Portuguese princess (RM) and Portugal gives Bombay as a weeding present. In 1668, England should get another event, moving the CoT in Goa to Bombay. This was the year they leased Bombay to the East India Company.

Jakarta should also get an event in 1641 (when England took over Malaysia), where if the Dutch own it, the CoT in Malacca moves to Jakarta. I was also thinking that a good trigger to include in this would be if the Dutch also own Makassar, Tindore, Buru and Manado, (these provinces they took from the Portuguese in the 1620's) which would affirm their control over Indonesia and thus why they should get the CoT.

Edit: Port should also have Mombasa

If nothing else it could be a secondary culture and then in the 1800's have an event that turns colonial areas that were historically taken over (or were on the verge of being so) into that culture. That would solve most of that problem. (and Hive, if you are so concerned about looks, put in events at that same time "the Age of Imperialism" which would give the culture only then).
 
some ideas....

As I couldn't find any other thread or subforum for AgeofImperialism mod (except the one where I can download it), I believe this is the only place where I can ask/suggest some things...

Well, first of all, Hive, Congratulations for a great effort, it's indeed a very complete and excellent mod... top10 :D

- I was thinking about the 1816 scenario, on the southamerican situation, specially about the wars of independance for Venezuela (U04), Colombia (COL) and Ecuador (U08) with Spain... the spaniards should have at least one army (not that big, but with some numbers) or in the middle of Venezuela or at sea, waiting for disembark... in order for them to keep fighting for their empire... also, those three countries should be separate and after 1821, with Simon Bolivar as President of Venezuela, an event triggers to make them unite and change tag to Greater Colombia (U07)... there might be some conditions to happen that... like the resistance to Spanish invasion (no prov controlled by SPA) or something like that... and Simon Bolivar should be a leader and monarch for U04 and U07... also it may be good to add some events, that make improve the relations with ENG and/or USA and the involvement of english/american troops in the fighting... what d you think about it?

- also, in the 1861 scenario, Colombia is controlling and owning the Maracaibo prov (157), and it should belong to Venezuela...

tell me if you need any help improving that area of the world for your mod, and I will be very pleased to do it..... :)
 
Well I must admit that my SA knowledge is lacking... but still, I'm sceptical as to the matter of Greater Columbia being split in 3 in 1816... you sure that's historical? Nothing I read pointed towards that... :confused:

I am aware, however, that several of the SA nations shouldn't actually be independent yet - but belong to Spain and be in rebel hands (most of them didn't declare independence untill after 1820). But I just think it works better this way, and the difference isn't all that big...
