Optional Colonial Nation Founding
Allrite lads!
This mod, based upon the fantastic work carried out by "Stop Hippo Infantcide" (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2153568363), has been updated to fix many of the outstanding bugs from the older variant – including the "dual ownership" bug.
So what does this mod do? Essentially, this mod disables compulsory colonial nation founding upon reaching 5 colonies in the New World and Australasia. Now it offers you a decision based choice to found a colony instead, giving the player the option to rule the region more directly or relinquish control over to a colonial administration. By contrast, AI countries will always found a colonial nation, letting the player have their cake and eat it (if they so wish).
NOTE: Upon creation the country will be called C00/01/02 etc. – this is normal (and is needed for this mod to work); after a few moments a script will fire to rename the nation properly (e.g. Polish Colombia/Irish Canada/Hispaniola etc.). The whole process is demonstrated by the pictures above.
This mod is compatible with BT – Beyond Typus. Colonial nations in the expanded colonial regions in BT will also be optional (Newfoundland, Acadia, Polynesia etc.).
Tested on 1.36. Any bugs please give me a shout!
