Noticed something else, on the southern edge of the screenshot with the French forts, there's a green border. Cherokee or..... Portugal?
That's a tile you see when you have your mouse over a tile on World builder.
Aha... OK ... I retract my earlier statement. (I was wondering how borders could be shaped like that if colonies/villages only give a 3 x 3 territory)
Agree completely, and notice in the screenshot the indian village 'building' an expert silver miner. They aren't building an expert silver miner at all; Colonists without a profession could visit native villages to 'live among the natives'. My guess is a colonist visiting the indian village in the screenshot would wind up an expert silver miner.
Perhaps also certain indian tribes natives could be specially skilled to certain types of farm work.
(although if you deny that quebecs isn't a nation, then that means canada, america and australia also aren't nations)
Quebec does not have political autonomy. Canada, America and Australia do. They are a cultural nation but not a political one, which is what most people consider when they think in terms of a nation. Your definition is so vague that the old ladie's sewing circle could be considered a nation.
Portugal (Brazil, Labrador of Canada)
If so, Netherlands should not also had a place there. There aren´t no Independence nations in NORTH AMERICA with previous past Netherlands colonization. New Amensterm were conquers be the English, who call it New York.
Again Silesia doesn't have independence, Ossetia doesn't, niether does Tibet or the Mayans, or the lapp, or the zulu or the australian aboriginees or abkhazia, or chechnya, and i could go on for quite a while... if my house declared independence from Poland, and succeeded would that be counted as a Political Nation?
Portugal never settled Labrador, they only discovered it. In fact they never even set foot there, only sailed past. So it's not really accurate to claim that as their territory. It bounced between the French and English until the English finally took over all French territory in what is now Canada.
I'm getting really tired of trying to explain the distinction to you. If you fail to see it then it's your problem.
i think emotion is getting in the way of actual facts..
Actually, The french only had small fishing villages on the southern coast, and never really colonize it.
