hmm, I guess I don't understand.
What exactly is a "Trade theatre"? I mean obviously you can't set up colonies but if I can't see it on the map, how is it a trade theatre?
Africa, lots to grab, and the lucrative trades.
Caribbean, islands are easy to defend, and have pirates.
Indian Subcontinent, I want to compete with the major trade companies.
North America, New France, 13 Colonies, get out of my way.
Split my forces. Small footholds all over, I don't like to focus.
Forget Colonization I'm attacking my nextdoor nieghboors first thing.
Gah!

Re: Forming a Empire, where to start
To be honest, I'm not really clear on this myself. Other than that we'll need to devote naval resources to securing its riches, CA hasn't released many details on this aspect of the game yet.

Re: Forming a Empire, where to start
Ugh, I hope this isn't like other games where I have to send my ships off the map for a odd number of turns to return with money. Aka: Tropico 2: Pirate Cove. Ship leaves, when it gets back you get certain amount of money.devote naval resources to securing its riches
"Oh hey, this admiral just got awesome wonderful, oh now you and your fleet have to vanish for the next 30 turns"
That would upset me, hopefully it's just tradeships or something.

Re: Forming a Empire, where to start
Since I am playing as Sweden I will simply defend myself against the aggressive neighboring countries. Maybe expand a little. I will do so by building the largest naval fleet the Baltic Sea has ever seen and smash all resistance consequently not allowing anyone else in the Baltics having more than en arme av typ barkbåtar

I am going to take control of key navel chokepoints such as the Leeward Islands (let the enmey come to me) and slowly and surley dominate world trade(as my sig would suggest).
nb: i hope that you can't just sail your ship over the atlantic like a motor boat with out taking into account the trade winds, otherwise this won't work
