Would it benefit me to move my main trade city to Erms (in the English Channel node)? This way I could direct all trade to one (end) node (another “correct” move according to wisdom gathered here), but I’m worried about Britain’s dominance of that node, compared to my control of Ivory Coast, Cape, and even Baltic. I’ve done basic stuff like upgrading trade nodes and building markets, but I still have some specific questions: Conventional wisdom that I have accumulated on this sub leads me to believe I’ve done something right, but right now I’m earning more money from the Baltic trade than from these areas (My totally trade income is ~10 ducats a month). I took Erms, then hopped over to colonize the Cape and Panama, as well as some key provinces in the Ivory Coast region. I’m currently doing a Prussia run and decided to try and do a colonial game.
With more than 2000 hours in the game I’m embarrassed to have to pollute this sub with another question about (probably basic) trade mechanics, but here I am.
