Random thoughts

[unmerged(2289)]

1 - Do your generic army leaders ever gain experience? Or are they all the same no matter how many battles they've won/lost?

2 - Is there any tech gain that improves chance of colonization? Should there be? It would be nice if maybe a combo trade/infrastructure level would boost success rate here somehow.

Ad 1 - Neither random nor historical leaders gain any experience. Although that would be an interesting idea making the game less predictible. You culdn't prepare for your next large offensive knowing that Prinz Eugen or Suvorow are arriving in 2 years time

U could use a conquistador for that. Erdicate natives, and so on.

I know about the Conquistadors, but what I mean is it would be nice to get a tech advance and here 'your colonists will now adapt better' or something to that effect. It seems fair since for every naval/land advance you get 'you armies/navies will now fight better.'

Well, it doesn't. There are many ways as it is to improve colonisation chances.
