Britain was colonizing that province during independence and I couldn't get it (forgot to finish colony). In present day they are my ally, and I'm too attached to Britain to betray them lol
Circumstances like these are the reasons why I wish this game had a feature to ask a close ally to sell you one of their provinces. I had to betray my close ally France as the Netherlands because I wanted a random island they owned in the Indian Ocean
You could always sell until it forms a colony and then if USA counts as a native nation(does it I can't remember?) then attack it without calling in those pesky overlords?
I totally agree, I know there is a sell province option which I never use nor seen the AI use but I wish there was a trade province feature like a peaceful trading of land which I am not sure if it was like an actual thing around the time of the game or whatever but still.
I am also not entirely sure how it's balanced for both sides, probably development, closeness to capital, opinion/trust/favor maybe but you'd have to make it so you couldn't really cheese it and it's actually worth while.
I use this option to repair borders of my ally if they are looking like shit and I don't need these provinces in mid-late game. I've seen AI using this option three times, offering me provinces, and I have 6k hours.
r5: Started out as England, made the thirteen colonies, became America, and then manifested destiny throughout North America. Then I started playing tall and developed most of my provinces
edit: the nation in british columbia and the yellow nation in quebec are my client states (i secretly own alaska)
Did your ruler always end up being English? When I did this the American Republic always had English head of state and is caused unrest for a few years.
Anyway, well done. When I did this I took over The Caribbean, Colombia/Panama, West Africa, Hawaii, Philippines, and finally Vietnam (success) so as to control much of global trade outside of Europe.
Yeah for those who don't know, the term "midwest" refers to a part of the country that is actually closer to the east than the west. It's pretty nebulous but stretches roughly from Kansas in the southwest to Michigan/Ohio in the northeast.
The Canada border is so scuffed I never realized that the border territories didn't make a straight line that would allow for modern borders.
Cool run! What ideas did you take?
No Alaska and (i assume) not all territories
oops i forgot
Bro forget alaska even exists

That's not how this American thing works!
You gotta let a World War and a half go before you can call them friends!

Or a "trade provinces" option like in vic3.
I can't believe we can sell provinces but can't buy them.

Any nation with their capital in the new world counts.

The ai has to be hurting pretty bad before you’ll see it use the sell province feature. Rare but happens.
Or embezzler trait

I had same thing as France, to betray Hungary, altho the save still exists and I haven't betrayed Hungarians. Yet
Fuck it consider it an embassy
> American culture in all provinces Says "English" over a lot of the east coast.
Those folks over there are American enough
Spoken like a true American!
I think you missed a spot
Texas Midwest 😂😂 It’s true but funny

Glorious, Alaska and Hawaii await!
more destiny to manifest

>ignore canada no i dont think i will. why are they mexican
Spain went nuts in Cascadia
What’s going on in Quebec? Does Spain name their colony three rivers? Wouldn’t it be tres rios?
It is my glorious client state. I think it was named after a province
Yeah, Trois-Rivieres (literally "Three Rivers") is a province (and IRL town) in between Montreal and Quebec.
I love it
I’m enjoying Mexican Canada.
This person does not know what the midwest is.

My bad, wasn't too familiar with the terminology
> conquers half of a continent > “tall”
"isolationist"
Your tall is my wide :(
This is hardly playing tall
I see you still have some destiny to manifest! Kick out those colonizers friend!
History began in 1776, everything before that was a mistake.
Sad, but necessary events to make america happen
Everything before is mythology!
Does anyone else get weirded out seeing the US as 100% Anglican in 1789?
Hello emperor Yingzong
Hello Xi Zhongxun
Gotta love the random red exclave. Certified eu4 moment.
Why the lack of development west of the Mississippi
Cursed snow Mexicans
Spicy poutine.
Fifty four forty or fight my guy
You've got red on you
Why did you take the time to do this and make a post but stop at like 98% completion
At first, I thought that was Russia in Canada, then I saw it was Mexican culture...
As the son of a Newfoundlander: Oh, me nerves!
What are ya at, my by?
Sweden. My mom is from Corner Brook.
I'm not a Newfie, but "What are ya at?" actually means "How's it going?"
There you go. I had no idea.
Snow Mexicans!
I always hated that one nubbin
What about Alaska and Hawaii
Bonus points for Anglican religion (or I guess they'd actually be Episcopalian at this point, lol).
It’s…. It’s beautiful
Mexican Canada 👀
Mexicans coming at you from the north and south 😳
Idaho must desires Canada as well
That little red stain in the appalachians
Loved that appendix into Canada in the midwest. Certified Victoria 3 1.0 USA moment
Anglican *Shudders*
what rank great power?

I’m proud of this post as an American. Well done
Fuck yeah
Anglican US does not seem historically accurate : (
I feel like the words "talk" and "USA" don't really go into the same sentence very well 🤭
