The Fall of the Eleventh
Great update!
You have earned the METY Cookie of METY Worshipping.
You can't do that in RFC. Creating a "colony" just turns your colonies into Independents which you have no contact with, and are just worthless.
Shoot.. so much for that..
on that subject.. I think the VIP mod messed up the colonies, because:
The Ethiopians were on an island, and I DoWed them. I didn't want to keep the cities, so I relaesed the ones I had already captured. Then captured two more, and released them into ANOTHER Different colony, and then captured two more cities, and released them into ANOTHER DIFFERENT colony and then I got Zara Yaqob to capitulate. So, one remote Island, 4 vassals. And, Yaqob actually was pleased with me after he capitulated... oddball.
Anyway, back on topic..
I always wanted to be able to do that! That's like the opposite of messing up! To me, at least...
If I could make multiple colonies on the same continent, it would get me the same amount of land as one big colony, but my colonies wouldn't rival me or ever become even a remote threat.
Actually, I think you can do that in vanilla BTS.
It was. I thought I remembered doing that once... maybe it was pre-me-installing-the-patch.
Well, it was on the subject of colonies, which arose from feedback on the update...
speaking of which, the turning-into-independents thing is my biggest RFC gripe by far![]()
