I believe that after I've captured all 16 colonies, there's supposed to be some congratulatory message?

Well, I haven't seen it. I've got all 16 colonies and have been going round playing whack-a-mole as various powers try to take them back. I'm "famous". This is version 1.50 with Nocd patch, otherwise stock.

Do I need to do anything else, or is this yet another bug? I've noticed that sometimes the game seems to get confused about who owns some colonies - as I reported in another thread, occasionally I'll see a tavern rumour that one nation is attacking another nation's colony, which shouldn't be happening as they're all mine now. If I get there before the colony falls, the relevant attacking nation's fleet is there but the fort still shows the pirate flag.

And then there was one occasion where the tavern reported that Bridgetown, at that time still English, had been captured but didn't identify the attackers - not another nation, not pirates, just blank. The "paper" map now showed no flag on the island, but right-clicking the town showed the data box with a pink square where the flag should be. When I got there, the fort was flying the Dutch flag, but did not fire on me even though the Dutch were hostile. The gunsight showed neutral grey, at least until I started shooting!

I also tried to stop people attacking my colonies by paying off the diplomat at Isla Mona. England, Spain and France then regarded me as "Rascal" and their ships no longer attacked me at see. However, they still attacked my colonies. (I hadn't tried to pay off the Dutch because I called in at Isla Mona while on my way to deal with a Dutch attack on La Vega.)

This is 1.51 right. Better make sure you've got all the
colonies! Maybe one got recaptured while you where'nt
looking?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->I didn't know there was a version 1.51. I'm using version 1.50.

All 16 colonies are mine, both according to the "paper" map and according to the list of colonies available by pressing F2 and clicking on "Colonies". A couple did get captured but I went and took them back.

There was one other oddity. The tavern reported "Pirated have thoroughly ruined the Dutch colony of St. Eustatius". St. Eustatius hadn't been Dutch for a long time because the English took it from them long before I got round to it. So I took it from the English. There was no indication that the Dutch had attempted to take it from me. A check on the "Colonies" status list showed that St. Eustatius was still there. However, it had a new
governor with a Dutch name who I hadn't seen before, and the population was seriously reduced - it did indeed appear as though someone had razed it. I went to St. Eustatius to check on who really owned it; the Jolly Roger still flew over the fort. So then I went to the governor's house to see who was really in charge, and found it deserted.

Just for good measure, I tried removing the odd governor and replacing him with one of my own men. It didn't make any difference - the colony is still mine, so are all the rest, and I haven't seen the end movie. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
