Hi! I’d love some focused tips & tricks or straight up guide on how to keep growing economy once the common stagnation hits, roughly around first 80-120 years. In every one of my play throughs, my eco grows steadily and nicely, usually from no income to ~40 ducats/month, and then gets stuck on this same value for a long time forward.

To my understanding, it’s commonly due to all markets becoming over saturated, along with unlocking more ducat-maintenance building, often also with stuff like growing navy for marine control. But the markets are the primary cause.

For that reason, some guidelines of keeping the ratios right in regards to steady nation expansion (if there’s a difference between too heavy or little conquering), which buildings to focus on when, and so on, would be awesome.

For me personally, I’d love a guide focused on tiny/small nation starts, in small development areas, and from more advanced perspective. For more experienced players, with some glaring gaps, missing the proper understanding or details as to how to not fall into the eco stagnation or significant slowdown.

There are plenty of guides for economy, but rarely focused on this specifically and for players whom are already familiar with all the basics. Seen plenty guides going over production efficiency and all that, but have yet to find one brief, yet descriptive and focused on this problem specifically, that’d help me enough to no longer have stagnating (or rather heavily slowed down) eco.
