Thread: EB`s trading system

    Default EB`s trading system

    Hi everyone,

    I was just wondering how one can determine the trade potential of a province.

    You can count the trade resources of course. Then there is the trade value of each resource.

    But this seem to be the original Vanilla resource names - so they don`t necessarily correspond to EB, right?

    My real question is however:

    Is there any formula available, with which I can calculate ( at least as a rule of thumb ) the possible trade value of a province? Do city size, number of the same resource ( e.g. 2 x timber ) and other factors have an influence.

    I know it`s quite an in-depth question, but I`m somewhat keen on exploring EB thoroughly.

    Damn good question. Quite difficult to answer though, as the actual trade obviously involves a number of things (lvl of roads, lvl of port and trade agreements in the area, resources etc).

    The potential trade is also different as according to which faction controls the Province. Macedonia will always be able to make more out of Pella than the Getai, becase they can build higher lvl trade structures. Then there's the skill of the governor.

    Not much of an answer I'm afraid, hopefully someone else can be more concrete...

    The potential trade value of a province is mostly limited by the number of provinces it can trade with by sea. Certain provinces have more valuable goods, true, but the available trading partners makes a lot of difference. Islands are very good as they open up a trade lane for a lot of other provinces.

    I'm not sure how to tell the potential, but if you want exact current numbers you can open the scroll for the city, then click on the "show settlement details" button then click the "show trade summary" button.
