Question about 1.34:

- Being completely blockaded now decreases Global Trade Power and Trade Steering by 75%.

What happens to landlocked countries? Do they get that penalty?



landlocked countries cant get blockaded

I assume they mean do you get a 75% penalty all the time for being landlocked? If I'm say the Mongol Empire I shouldn't lose 75% of my global trade value because Kamchatka gets blockaded since no trade flows through there when Switzerland can get away penalty free when they have no ports at all.

If there's no penalty for landlocked countries and you have no need for a navy it would be beneficial to avoid taking ports for as long as possible so that the ports you aren't using for trade can't be blockaded and kill your overland trade.

Yeah that's what I meant, if you're landlocked do you get the penalty no matter what?

The downside to not penalizing landlocked countries (or scaling the penalty with how much you actually use the ports) is it creates micro for any country that doesn't have strong overseas trade or a navy. If I'm Mongolia, Persia, Austria, Brandenburg etc. I'm now encouraged to either actively avoid taking ports until I'm ready to build a navy to defend them, or to feed them to a coastal vassal whose job is to just get his economy crippled because I'm not going to expose my overland trade to a 75% malus for taking a lovely port in some frozen ocean.

Seems like a failure of the abstraction, in that trade volume isn't assigned to particular port cities. It's not inherently crazy that blocking a few small ports of a large, mostly landlocked nation would have a disproportionate effect on trade (mainly thinking of Russia here).

The code doesnt know what "Landlocked" means. Blockading is a province modifier, and if youve never gotten the "Blockade" event during war, there is already an ingame check for something like "if all coastal provinces have this modifier then trigger pulse event #blahblahblah"
There is no way the game could interpret "you own 0 coastal provinces" to mean "ah well technically youre completely blockaded :smug:"

Edit: it seems fairly obvious they are just adding an additional penalty to a logic check that already exists in the game

I think ideally it ought to be scaled based on how much of your trade power comes from the provinces being blockaded but honestly the way trade is represented in this game is so bad that I cant get too animated about it

Another weird outcome from that mechanic is that you could be say France, have your mainland fully blockaded by England, but have some random island in the Indian Ocean unblockaded and it will somehow keep your national trade income going by itself

It's been bugfixed and patched into just another content addition. Whether it's worth it at full price is debatable but, at least for Anbennar, the monuments are worth running the dlc.

At first I was confused why this was lol worthy, then I realized that this is not the CK3 thread.

It's imho not any more ridiculous than reforming the Roman Empire, and we know that Paradox and a big subset of the fans have a boner for Scandinavia.

Wait it's a flat 75% if all ports are blockaded, 0% if not? I assumed it's a scaling penalty.

Denmark/Scandinavia mission tree gives you permanently discounted, cheaper maintenance, 120% discipline on all mercs, and doesn't reduce professionalism when hired. It's kinda nice!

E; Also having 120 max absolutism with a few estate privileges. Scandinavian countries are NOT overpowered!
