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!
