colony issue RoM 2.9

[modifieda4]

Forgive me if this is fixed in 2.92 (im in the middle of a game right now)...

The issue I am experiencing is that I can not liberate multiple captured cities at once to form a new colony/civ on a different continent. In generic BTS I was able to capture all the cities on small continents and then liberate them to form new civs as vassals to me. Is this tactic not allowed or is it a bug?

My colony/liberate screen only gives the option of liberating individual cities.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you already have a colony on that continent/island? If so then you can only liberate the captured cities to that colony no matter how far away they may be.

yes, on a small island i captured 4 cities belonging to two different civs.

in vanilla BTS I could liberate them as a group and a new civ would be founded as a vassal.

in my current game, all 4 cities can only be liberated individually
