Is it even of any value because by the time you the develop the mercentile port you already have three trade fleets

The ones that cost 36000 or 64000? Not really, they're more meant as money wasters for players who have coffers full of cash

No not the extensive port upgrade but the largest port upgrade it is usually like 10000 i think. But either way i think they are useless cause the coastal clearing provides a fleet even though its not suppose to

No, they don't. They only provide a location for imports, not exports.

As far as I know, the little ones (32k) make your choma a hormos, and the large ones (64k) make your hormos a limen, but only in theory. The large ones are bugged, the don't generate more trade than the hormos and are thus mere money sinks. The have their roleplay purpose, though.

If you mean the dashed line, that just signifies that it is importhing things. You'll see in the trade screen that they aren't exporting anything.

Then again, some ports are quite anomalous - for instance the Seleukid ports I conquered in a Baktrian campaign at the Persian gulf had LESS trade routes than they should have (one trade route on "choma kapelikon"[sp?] level) according to building level. Tearing them down and re-building fixed this but got closely followed by a persistant CTD...

Strange. I don't see how this could be an EB bug. Where there enough trading ports within short reach? There may be a distance limit to sea trading and if it's your first conquered port on the Indian ocean, there won't be many trading partners nearby.

Yes that could be it - but IIRC even the building description said
"Choma Kapelikon
available trade routes: 1
increase in tradeable goods".
Weird. I suppose I will soon play another Baktrian campaign and write down what I find.
This was still with EB v 1.1...

I had the same problem (also with Bactria) but no CTD. (That one might just have been a coincident.)

Well, if you have territories that share a land border, they won't trade by sea.
