but again, you have to actually invest in those provinces if you just colonize it and never build up harbours/urban buildings it will be a rebel factory and an economic drain on your country. Before trying MEIOU & Taxes I was 'fine' with the development abstraction. Europa Universalis IV is a grand strategy video game in the Europa Universalis series, developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive.
In general we need more flavor events with the colonies so there is interaction with them more.
