Reduced Exponential Colonization
THIS MOD IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK.
The goal of this mod is to reduce the speed of colonization by applying penalties to having multiple colonists and/or colonies. Thus, it will slow down exponential colonization, hopefully making colonization more competitive especially for later colonizers (ex. Russia, Dutch, etc.).
Once a colonist is acquired, new triggered modifiers can be seen.
For each colonist above the first one, a nation gets -10 global settler growth and -5% to settler chance. With 5 colonists, a maximum penalty of -40 global settler growth and -20% settler chance is incurred.
These penalties apply to any colonies a nation has, ex. colonial Brazil with two colonists will also begin incurring penalties.
Additionally, for each colonial nation(subject) that a colonizer currently has, a nation gets -15 global settler growth. With 5 colonies, a maximum penalty of -75 global settler growth is incurred.
This mod changes no original game files, so it should be technically compatible with any other mods used.
