Yay, more Brits!I think I'll go with a more cosmopolitan approach with the natives. Given that my armies a pile of crap, I could always do with some native allies xD It also helps if the Natives aren't perpetually attempting to kick you out

Gowia, would it be possible to slowly fix our bad traits via things like reform? Like could I have the Emperor slowly institute policies, slowly though as not to piss of conservatives or reactionaries, to re-institute free market or make my navy not shit.Oh and me and Darkwolf's nations will be allied from the start, if that's alright.Also my plan for where there are native nations and not tribes is to rule it like how the British Ruled India, by offering the native rulers deals in exchange for control of that territory. They would remain in power and as authority figure but they would gain benefits, also it help prevent rebellion from natives as they still see themselves as being ruled by there rulers, not evil colonial masters.

It is totally possible to remove bad traits slowly through different actions. Alliance from the start is fine:) Again some may accept that others may not. Tech is a good way to go...
