Ideally, each one would be its own "continent": the UK would have to pay maintenance for all its provinces outside of the islands, so would Japan, and so would any nation with provinces in the caribbean, including the USA. There's still a few problematic regions, namely the british islands, the japanese ones and the caribbean. This can be easily bypassed but it's a start. The second change was a restructure of a few straits to try and avoid land connections and the Tangier Protocol to break Spain's land connection with Africa. That's mostly OK because these regions contain just a potential tags, so missing them from the diplomacy tab isn't a big deal. This means that any asiatic (or any country, with a few exceptions) power will have to pay overseas maintenance over these provinces. Oceania - which encompasses Australia and New Zealand and Polynesia, which encompasses all of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. They work as de facto continents, but are treated as regions since they don't have a button to search in the diplomacy tab. To solve that problem, two new continents were done. Japan doesn't pay for anything for owning polynesia, India or Australia. The UK doesn't pay any maintenance for Heligoland, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus. The same-continent limitation also creates a few problems for big continents, like Europe or Asia. Or Russia to stretch from Europe to Japan without paying anything. Sea straits (the one units can walk over and can be blocked by ships) count as a continuation, so the Gibraltar strait allows Spain to control all of africa paying absolutely no maintenance. There's a small problem with the game definition of overseas province though. Colonies are costly endeavors and maintaining a colonial empire consisting of nothing but isolated islands was a very cheap endeavor. The objective is to make, at least some colonial provinces, unprofitable. So the UK used to start paying 106£ for its overseas provinces, now that value is 1006£. Overseas maintenance now costs 10 times that value. The value is easily paid even by taxes in the sahara desert which made it mostly a symbolic value.
A draft of the changes of the budget screen, trying to highly overseas maintenance costs.īefore, each overseas province (defined in the game as a province in another continent without a land connection to the capital) at the beginning of the game costed around 0.6£ to the controlling country in supplies.
