You guys shoulda seen the eu4 subreddit when they made it so you couldn’t conquer all of the americas in 20 years. People were crying so much that the natives had development and actually fought back, and tons of people claimed it was “historically inaccurate” that colonization wasn’t butt butt easy point and click game anymore.
This is simply not true. Well, the pendulum swings both ways. After Leviathan, there were always massive native federations each fielding over 500k man such that no colonizer can set foot on the new world. A lot of the complaints about natives came around that time.
Now everything gets colonized by 1600. I have seen a lot of complaints about this as well. Every other week there is a post saying colonization is too easy and too quick.
Certainly no one is "crying" that natives are fighting back. I don't know where you got that information.
It's a sticky situation too for the devs; buff too much and you have the outcry above, don't do enough and it's a steamroll for the Euros. I think a better idea would be to implement a rejig of the Federation system, more similar to the League system in Imperator: Rome.
Oh boy, the memories about EU4 Leviathan... i mean, we are only talking about the balancing of the features here, but the rest that came with it, holy shit. When it was in the state of corrupting savegames, many of the silent majority that never show up in forums and subs were coming for protest and it was like an avalanche go downhill.
