Mainland and colonies

I like the idea of "core cities" and "distant colonies".  The game currently has a handful of mechanics that recognize "cities on foreign continents", including the recent tweak to the Colonization civic that applies a permanent bonus instead of a short-lived one.

I do like the idea of distance-from-capital factoring into stability or other components, though, and techs boosting the capital.  In such a system, maybe the British Colonial Office could serve as a "mini capital" to improve stability.  Overall it'd require a small rework across the board, but I like the idea of many elements coming together to make it harder to manage a geographically spread out empire.

I like this idea a lot! Maybe there could even be some way it could play with the city cap mechanic.

I am a big fan of this idea.

I like this idea, too.

It's like what EU IV, Victoria 3 do - where you have incorporated territory and unincorporated territory - basically states vs colonies. The incorporated territories have higher administrative cost, but have benefits to stability, tax, etc. Also doing like this provides trade-offs, because each empire can only manage so many territories, so you can't just incorporate everything.

Great ideas, I had similar feedback.

I really like this concept! There may even be a way to manipulate the city cap mechanic in some way. Despite having higher administrative costs, incorporated territories benefit from stability, lower taxes, etc. Additionally, since each empire can only control a certain number of regions, doing things this way requires trade-offs because you can't just include everything.

Really like this one!

this should be implemented into the game

200.000 G2G points to go, and the idea will be, at least, studied by the developpers.
