i did a venice game where i carved through egypt to india. if you have res publica you put a trade post in every trade center province and then in india you grab all the trade provinces and protectorate everyone else and you get insane income because trade power of republics increases goods produced so all you have to do is be strong in an area and your protectorates will generate bonus goods

did the same with hansa -> germany

trade companies do the same but i dont think it stacks with the merchant republic good bonus?. you would still want to make trade companies for bonus merchants

i remember controlling 60% of hangzhou trade with just macau and another province lol

DICKHEAD posted:

it's a res publica thing. you click the province and there's a weird house building. you have to be a merchant republic though (maybe dutch republic as well?). but it's about the equivalent in trade power of a major river iirc? more maybe? i know it isnt as good as a major center of trade but you can put it ON a major center of trade and then build all your trade buildings there and congrats. now you have a single province with more power than every province in southern china combined

p much this. also it only costs like 50 dip to form a trade post

Novgorod russia is actually easier overall due to the plutocracy idea group.

having trouble finding the dev diary

e: yeah idk if it's been a dev diary or just in streams. also no idea if they've changed the mechanics/tech group to be less awful. seems like they're at least putting some thought into it, tho, which is nice

im not gonna lie i was pretty miffed when i found out the new dlc was loving charlemange. like, yeah, that's cool, but can you please fix all this other poo poo first? if the country isn't catholic or norse it's religon mechanics are super loving boring. my favorite lovely pagan religion is west african because it doesnt actually have anything good about it. it's just -relations and a bunch of poo poo you can't do for no real reason. also zorastorians and jews are both just Catholics But You Get Pwnd By Muslims

at least zoroastrian lets you marry your sister for opinion lol

also saoshyant/descendant is a cool buff but why the gently caress you dont get the same for your dynasty when you rebuild the third temple

:shrug: the jews are really badly thought out in general. i love that the jewish courtiers you get always hate the gently caress out of you because they are a different religion and culture. so even though you do the honor of allowing them to actually serve on your court they loving hate you and plot against you. the jews suck rear end, bad.

they still get you that sweet rear end event that gives bonus tech points tho
