I found a super helpful tooltip in the trade node menu. Most of you know this, but this can help new players a lot. You don't need to look at the arrows to decide where to expand or colonize. Go to your home node. Hover over "incoming" this will show you all the nodes immediately upstream (1 node up) of your home node, or any node for that matter. The top left tabs will also show this information too. Sevilla: -Safi -Tunis -Carribean -Ivory Coast This will help narrow down your focus for colonizing and expanding, if your goal is to trade effectively.

I must say, one of the most powerful trade games I've had so far is abusing a bro of a Castile AI. I was playing Portugal and secured Treaty of Tordesillas in Brazil, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Peru. Castile just colonized La Plata, and Flanders got Colombia. Not only did Castile not intrude on the high value trade from the Caribbean but do all the work for me sending wealth to the Ivory Coast node and helping move it to Sevilla, but they actually made their main trade city in the Genoa node after integrating Aragon, making me the dominant force of Sevilla. Pile on my switch to a merchant republic and the treasure ships from Mexico and Peru, and I was making real bank. I can only imagine how insane the value will get as I pull more and more trade from the east. I currently have the "trading in" modifier with 4 goods and am at 18% for another. Thanks to this guide I will be able to manipulate it even further now that I understand the transfer from downstream mechanic that was confusing me a bit.

17:30 The "helpful indicator" for light ship trade protection frequently lies. I believe it assumes power the ships are already applying if they are already on a trade mission, and is just in general unreliable. When setting your trade protection missions, use your understanding of the trade system. If you have poor control of your collection node, protect there. Otherwise, find key branches upstream of your collection node and protect there with a merchant to direct to you. A good example is mid game in the malacca trade node. If collecting there, with good trade control of the whole southeast asia region, light ship missions might suggest the phillipines or moluccas (upstream nodes) to protect for maximum profit. But the reality is that the Hangzou node upstream which is a major split in trade is 99% of the time the best place to focus your light ship power as forcing the trade from china and northeast asia towards Malacca rather than inland has huge downstream ramifications for trade value.
@cugelchannel4733

Every thing Reman said was condensed knowledge, but it could be put much simpler. Trade Power in a node is like a tug-of-war game between nations trying to collect in that node versus nations trying to pull trade down-stream. So, collect in your home node where you control most of the provinces, and nowhere else. As you get more and more merchants send them upstream from your home node to steer trade. If you don't have any provinces in a node, use merchants and ideas and more light ships to steer trade. You must have a merchant and large trade fleet in each node in a chain, to create the trade power to continue to steer the trade downstream to your home node, rather than let some local bastards who could not be too much despised, collect it in nodes along the way. When you dominate your home node so you're collecting almost all the trade there, then start sending light ships to upstream nodes to steer trade downstream. So, you'll need to colonize convenient provinces for fleet basing rights and hopefully grabbing control over high producing provinces in key nodes to give you even more trade power in strategic points. If you do it successfully, you can multiply your trade income to the ridiculous levels you see here Reman get here. But, it's really fragile, and your trade flow is subject to being interrupted by wars. You can go from huge income (which requires an enormous navy to support it and thus naval maintenance costs a mint), to very little income due to wartime blockades at some point in the chain. But of course your naval maintenance doesn't go down, so you quickly go bankrupt and are trying to peace out of wars as soon as possible at least against nations that have large navies. Ultimately, like in real world history, there can be only 1 dominant sea power in the world. That power was Britain for centuries and now is the US. In the game you will have to build flees to eliminate any naval rivals and rule the seas if you want to safe-guard your trade. So, what he's saying is not so complex. There's tons of complexity, but as he says, you don't have to understand the math to play the game.

You can easily do it in a regular game as long as you play a trade based nation such as the Netherlands and focus ideas that boost trade. Take coastal cities in prime nodes, build lots of ports for extra ships and make more light ships to increase power upstream, and then use that gold to build massive merc armies to continue snowballomg trade for almost no cost to your country if you go admin ideas for reduced merc maintenance.

@@emttheindon3597 Pretty late reply but trade is my strong suit in Eu4 and this is more for other people who stumble onto the comment. The two most economically valuable buildings in the game are the workshop and the manufactory, this is because you get the production value very good by itself as the buildings stack, but also more ducats worth of trade in nodes you have provinces in, which are generally the ones you have the easiest time controlling. Therefore you essentially get the monetary value multiple times and it scales higher as your trade efficiency increases which it does naturally through tech. This becomes even more broken with trade company regions as the special buildings massively over project trade power and goods produced allowing the funnelling of ridiculous sums of money to colonial powers.

You can also collect from two nodes if for example you already have all nodes that can transfer power down to your home province with a merchant doing so and another node that in no way send trade power to your node (going out of the range) to collect from that aswell when you are strong enough there, for example I started a game in africa my main node being in the cap with about 300 ducats per month by moving down power from north africa and indonesia down to the cap, as I invaded venice and germany I collected from the node there aswell since I had no way to efficently sending the ducat there downstream gaining another 150 ducats per month

*TIP TO TRADE POWER PROPAGATION IN RELATION TO OWNED TRADE GOODS* If you have estates, be aware that the Burghers increase trade power by a _percentile_ (if loyal). Thus, you're better of giving them land that has _FLAT_ trade power bonuses if low development, or _PERCENTILE_ trade power bonuses if high development (I do not know the exact threshold but I'd say around 8-10 base production?). Developing provinces with percentile trade goods boosts every now and then, is also a good rule of thumb. Burghers will also increase production in the assigned province by 10% if very loyal (60+). Here are the relevant trade goods: - Silk (+2 flat bonus according to wiki, but I remember it as +10??) - Dyes (+10% trade power) - Furs (+10% …) - Tobacco (+10% …) -Glass (+10% production efficiency) Couple these with Centres of Trade or Estuaries, and coastal provinces (+25% provincial trade power iirc) and you know the gist of it to propagate your local trade power properly. Also, with the latest patch or DLC, you have State Policies (upkeep +200% but gives specific bonuses). Trade Policy gives +50% trade power locally. So micromanaging states and provinces can be really useful, and it can be more fun to go tall or semi-tall. Also look out for -10% development cost goods as they can also stack well with such a playstyle. (Cloth and Cotton). Likewise, Salt gives +15% provincial defensive bonus.

I play Castile, a LOT, once I have had the Burgundian Inheritance, I move my capital to Antwerp and start making money there, I have a merchant collecting there, and also, in Sevilla. This nets me more money than any other combination. Once I own London, I tend to have around 58% of the trade power there, and it's more efficient for my light ships to increase my power in Lubeck than any other option. I also own all provinces in the Sevilla trade node (72% with merchant collecting) If I acquire a significant portion of the Genoan node, would it be better to have my merchant from Sevilla move to collecting there? Can you tell me if I should be doing anything different? Under the present scenario in my game (50 barques transferring power to English Channel where I collect with a Merchant present, and a Merchant collecting in Sevilla, I make 9.88 ducats from Sevilla and 21.69 from English channel).

How do you make the map empty like that and make completely new provinces?

Over 3 years late to the video, but I have a question. Is it better to absorb all Nations in a node, or is it better to leave a few OPMs so that they place merchants on nodes?

So you think the Scottish should move their home node to the English Channel? Their home node is just above the English Channel, but with 2 traders you can only collect from your home node since the ones that flow into their node are quite far away for their second merchant to be of any use Unless I use it to divert trade from another nearby node to the English Channel and privateer from there?

I would definitely recommend changing capital and trade node capital to London, Transfering trade to the English Channel and protecting trade in these transferring nodes will increase your trade power multiplying your income overall within the Channel.

So, as Muscovy, with Novgorod as my home node, I would put Merchants in the Baltic sea node to transfer and the Novgorod node to collect? I dont see how that makes sense...

Not quite. You place merchants in nodes that can transfer to Novgorod so Khazan and Kiev initially and then Chrimea up into Kazan and so forth so that more money is flowing towards Novgorod. Also you do automatically collect in Home node so you don't have to place a merchant collecting there. Hope this helps.

Does channelimg all the money to one node only work if you have all of the trading influence on the trade node that you use to channel money to you main node?? Because i'm playing as GB and tried to channel all the money into one node (the arms Chanel node) and my trading income decreased from 101 ducats a month to 66 ducats a month??! So do I need all the trading influence in a trade node that I use to funnel the money to another one?
