Slave revolts

[Cousjava]

If you are nation that has not abolished slavery then there is the chance of slave revolt which can lead to independent nations forming.

[Cousjava]

Make it a disaster in appropriate colonial nations

[Cousjava]

Events to pay off slaves, or put down revolts, spending manpower/mil power/gain devestation to model the effects, even without a stack of slaves rising up.

[Cousjava]

Also make nations much less likely to abolish slavery. It didn't until the 19th century, it shouldn't happen in 1740.

During the slave revolt disaster, /all/ provinces with "Plantation" policies in place should rapidly increase in devastation and lose development (with a chance to gain it back if you defeat the disaster and restore the rightful status quo)

[michaelranaldo]

Abolishing Slavery should be a tough decision Slaves should be immensely profitable, and you should not see an /obvious/ reason to abolish (i.e. portuguese brazilian sugar plantations)

Slavery being abolished should wipe, instantly, 75% of the production of all plantation and random amounts of other provinces. (knock on events like decline of trade, require you to pay off the owners 5x or you get a revolt / disaster to restore slavery)

[michaelranaldo]

Increase autonomy in plantation provinces with slavery abolished to mimic not following ordinances

[michaelranaldo]

Nations which have abolished slavery and which have a suffienciently strong merchant marine can massively interfere with other nations trade.

[Cousjava]

If you have abolished slavery and border and slave-owning area then there are escaped slave events which will boost development if you keep them but give you a opinion malus and/or insult causus belli with your neightour.

[Cousjava]

A bonus for being first nation to abolish, maybe 100 prestige?

But not for nations that never had slavery in the first place.
