Greetings All:
Hoping to crowd source a strategy. As Italy, I have been investing in the Horn of Africa extensively. Its 1886 and its all paying off. I've had Berbera, Zayla, Hobyo, and Bussaso all become non-national territory. However, I noticed something each time a territory turned. My prestige gain from colonies dropped and I didn't pick that up in any other prestige gaining category. This begs the question, what good is it in terms of game strategy to keep sending immigrants and extending telecoms and the like if all that does is in the end is make it harder to win the game? Any thoughts and commentary would be appreciated.
