You misunderstood him. He did not refer to modders or the modding as scramble or scrambled but used the common name of the colonization of Africa: "Scramble for Africa" = "Wettlauf um Afrika" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wettlauf_um_Afrika

Is there anything preventing me to get the better relations by returning all pirates to Port Royal - and then immediately sending them out again? Or is there some duration in which I -actuallly would have to stay out of the waters of that nation to not risk to lose my raised relations...

There have been several skirmishes between the colonies before nowadays US were formed and many of them had overlapping claims that could have and did have caused fighting. e.g. "Virginia" had at times claimes as much as THAT (and the others were not far behind in claiming lands): or if...

So e,g. in german the special characters ä, ö, ü, ß, Ä, Ö, Ü are out and the standard would be like in crosswords Anger --> Aerger instead of Ärger?

Is it even desirable to gain all founding fathers in a normal game? We play a certain colonial nation (e.g. the Dutch) and we have a lot of founding fathers from various nations, even the spanish who were the Archnemesis of the Dutch in the achtigjaarige Orloog/30years war (+50 years of...

Would it be possible to limit that event not to just "having met" and "on the same continent" but to neighbours, whose cultural borders touch each other?

We could just use the rule again that the central mountain of a massive (=a mountain square surrounded only by mountains) is completely impassable as in some versions ago.

If the thread is bumped, could you correct the "wouds" to "wounds" in the title?

It would not. Slavery is one good option after all the changes - but it is not as prevalent and extensive as it should be. After all slavery in huge masses only took of in the second half of the game after cotton became really profitable with the cotton engine. Usually a time in game where most...

Why does a storage building that gives storage space, give +1 food / +2 food in addition? After all, noone is to say what the player decides to store there - a storage building full of say pitchforks, torches, feathers and tar producing food? If that is not the building but the terrain, how is...

It was not completely destroyed. They just lost the area that was built on sand

I see it more like a season in Colonization and the area size depends very much on the size of the map. A square on a tiny map is far less space than a square on a gigantic map. No unit ever was safe from counter fire or counter attack. If an artillery unit shoots, then the enemies artillery...

That is WAD. The people standing on the dock are "discounted". They are usually much cheaper than the experts you can buy in Europe, because those at the docks are not simply seeking a good new job and asking for an approbiate fee to leave their work in Europe - they are discontent, suppressed...

It is - if you not only look at yourself as a player, but see the demand of the AI players and Europe itself, too. Should become even more expensive over time due to inflation from bringing lots of gold and silver to Europe which historically caused manpower shortages and a bancrupcy for Spain...

I don´t see that as a fix. Prices for ships and specialists are supposed to go up when you buy them in Europe. After all you require and search for very specific job descriptions then. Taking what already stands on the docks, ready to sail with whoever wants to take them, even if coincidentally...
