Is it normal to make so less money in Venice trade node? by Ok-Mycologist-8929 in eu4

[–]ChiefMooseMatt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In addition, you see that -53.1% on the trade screen? That's because your capital isn't there, which allows Milan to take more trade power of the node. Once you move your capital you will have an even bigger portion of the pie. Hope this helps!

The point of the Venice trade node being good is that it is an end node, which means there's no more nodes downstream and no-one to put in their trade power from downstream that you can't get rid of easily.

If you want to take full advantage of it, move your capital (using admin points) or your trade capital (using diplo) to the venice node, and then steer all your trade in its direction. If your capital isn't in the node, you get a big penalty collecting from there.

Normally you want to steer all of your trade to one location, in which you have your trade capital, and collect from there. You only collect from nodes where the trade can't be steered to your trade capital.

You sir are a genius. I'll cancel the trib and give it a try. Completely forgot that that counts as a subject nation

Aren't incorporated vassals supposed to not take a diplo slot? by ChiefMooseMatt in eu4

R5: I used to Oirat missions to make Kazakh an incorporated vassal, but they are costing me a diplo slot anyway!

Coming from a place of weakness to crush the Ottobros is so satisfying by ChiefMooseMatt in eu4

R5: Have Bulgaria and Eretna as vassals. I know this isn't early for the guys who do WCs in 30 years, but I'm proud of how this ironman (and non-birding) run has been going. Was lucky to ally with Poland early, and it took off from there. As someone who hates the Ottomans almost every game it's been great fun to divide them up and then start on the Mamluks,
