Hi,
It's 1559. I have tried a few times to establish
a trading post or colony in Ivoria. 2 times for
the trading post and 2 times for the colonly.
I have a level 1 trading post out of this. The
2 attempts at colonization failed and my attempt
at making it a level 2 trading post failed.
Is there something i'm missing? Is there a dynamic
at work at to why i am failing?

Doug
 
Apart from the suitability rating, a lot of it is sheer luck. Failing three out of four attempts isn't actually all that bad. I've failed six or seven times in a row. :)
 
also having a conquistador there with an army will increase your chances.

I had to try 18, count them 12 times in oahu (Hawaii) to establis a level 7 colony, but whne I did, pow! 10000 natives joined my colony. Now I have a great stagging area between my colonies on the west coast and Asia.
