I may or may not have forgotten to set the mean time to happen for my population growth event back to its proper value after initially setting it to 1 month to make sure it worked.

The converter isn't up to date for the current CK2 and EU4 maps last I checked, so it doesn't work.

Thinking of making a custom merchant republic in the Caribbean with something better than native tech. Is this a waste of my time? Tax is abysmal everywhere, I've noticed. If I expand into South America, will those provinces count as colonies, in the same way that they do for the Europeans? How do the El Dorado exploration events work for a guy based in the New World, anyway?

I take it I should be building a national idea set focused on colonists, trade, and merchants.

Yes, any South American province more than 150 distance away from your capital will count as overseas and become colonial nations. So if your capital was somewhere in the southern part of the Lesser Antilles you could probably get some South American provinces without them becoming colonial nations, but not many. You'll be able to expand in North and Central America without it becoming colonial nations. Incidentally, the Lesser Antilles also have some of the best tax in the New World.
Do land connections across continents negate the overseas thing in the new world? I notice Trinidad is a North American, Caribbean island with one of those little strait crossings into South America. If I were to plunk my republic down there, would I be able to settle both North and South America without having my provinces turn into colonial nations?

Is there any reason why I'd prefer to have a colonial nation, rather than just owning the land directly? I'm still thinking about where I'd like to toss my little caribbean merchant republic. Trinidad is a North American island with a strait to South America, which would allow me to settle both continents without having to deal with colonial nations, but am I coming out ahead by avoiding them? Would it be better in some way to instead double down on colonial nations, even if I'm a new world power? Do you colonize faster if you've got CN's chipping in or something? I haven't played much EU4 at all, so there might be some obvious tradeoffs that I'm missing.

Edit: If doubling down has some perks, I might just make the Caribbean its own continent, which I guess would allow me to integrate some coastlines on both continents while spinning off the stuff further inland

so im thinking of later converting this ck2 game im playing right now, and i've got a question about ai hordes: how well would an ai mongol empire do if it has p. much the entirety of eastern europe? would it be able to eventually reform itself given what it has, or is the ai kind of lacking in that regard?

im p. sure it'd be beastly early on, but i guess i'm wondering if i should expect a power vacuum in the region in the mid-late game

Is the HRE hardcoded to have only monarchs be eligible for emperors, or can theocracies or republics be modded to work as well? Can succession IA be modded too? Wondering if I can mod the HRE mechanics to work a little differently for the CK2 game I'll be converting soonish
