Description:

This mod is meant to be played with VANILLA EU4 and should be compatible with most graphics mods but not total overhaul mods

Mod aimed at improving the currently rather disappointing colonialism experience in EU4.

(Note: this mod is meant to be played with all DLCs, I cannot guarantee the mod will be stable or error-free without them)

-About half the Natives have been removed and their ability to expand has been severely restricted, North America is no longer fully consumed by giant federations by 1550
-Primary culture of colonial nations will slowly spread throughout their nation over time
-Colonial nations cannot colonize outside their colonial regions
-Cantons for colonial flags, flag of the overlord is placed in the corner of the flag as opposed to it taking up half the flag
-Adjusted colors for some colonial regions
-Adjusted borders for colonial regions to allow for more historical divisions
-Mechanics for colonial European culture spread have been adjusted, new cultures will remain within their colonial nation’s borders
-Province names across the New World for France, England/GB, Castile/Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Chinese nations borrowed from the New World Colony Names mod
-Viceroyalty government titles for Spanish and Portugese colonies
-Colonial nations cannot fight their own wars (you can still fight wars in the new world yourself or use the subject interaction to start a war in the colony)
-New diplomatic action under the influence tab that allows you to prevent a subject from colonizing (togglable)
-Adjustments to ideagroups to slow down colonialism
-Slightly adjusted Portugal color

New (and improved existing) Colonial Cultures:
-Mexican for Iberians
-Antillan for Iberians
-Colombian for Iberians
-Andean for Iberians
-Platinean for Iberians
-Brazilian for Portugal

-American for British culture group
-Canadian for British culture group
-Amerikaans for the Dutch
-Boer culture in South Africa for the Dutch

-Quebecois for French culture group
-Louisianans for French culture group

all of these take between 25 to 100 years to spawn after a colonial nation is formed with the exception of Canadian which takes between 50 and 200 years to spawn
