So in Vicky II, how exactly do colonial provinces become full states? The various Africans under the benevolent fist of Brazil don't seem to want to become bureaucrats.

You need accepted/primary culture POPs to migrate there, if they aren't either then you get a -100% chance for promoting bureaucrats.

Best way to do that? I made one African state focus on migrants, but no one wanted to go there.

Haha yeah, I was on GDC in san fransisco and sat there in public googling reference pictures of Hitler looking as majestic as possible on my laptop, so I could send them to the artist hoping people wouldnt think I was some kind of nazi freak ;D

Actually, I've read that in the CSA's first election, the liberal party was the one that ended up getting voted in. Don't remember where I got that information from though, so for all I know it could've been from the mouth of some hardcore CSA apologist. :shrug:

There was no election; Jefferson Davis was just selected as a provisional president. Proper elections would presumably begin if the CSA won or at least survived the war.

You know what would be tremendously awesome? If the icon that told us that Pdox devs had posted in a thread on their forums also was a link to pull up all the things that they've posted there. Go through 26 pages of spergs about German organizational superiority to find the half dozen posts from the devs about the new OOB system? No, thanks.

What would be better would be if Paradox banned all the people on their forums from ever posting and then delete the forums and then post exclusively to this thread.

Not from the dev diary, but from the announcement thread:

quote:

My favorite aspect of Europa Universalis IV is that it is Eurocentric, and that it preferentially views the world from the perspective of Christendom.

I mention this to make it clear how strongly some players (or at least this player) disagree with the global-leveling ideology repeatedly promoted by some in such threads as this.

Europa Universalis IV affords a welcome escape from a suicidal 21st-century Western world gone mad.

I am aware that some will call me rude names for saying such things. This is fine. Such names do not interest me. I like Europa Universalis IV.
