This is my Discovery of the day!

We all have these form time to time and I thought I would share this one as it has plagued me for ages, and I know I am not alone.

There is often an issue with a theater’s trade being blocked and or pirated and there is no one obviously doing it…

Well the little thieves can hid! In the Map Edge Area at the edge of theaters the trade route line is there but if someone is sitting on it you can’t see them because they are off the map as it were. You have to send a fleet to check those spots.

When you get close they show up…or at least when you hit their zone of control you stop. I found a mid size Spanish fleet sitting at the very edge…I could not even approach them directly but took some strange rout to the attack…It was u shaped or maybe even an s...wierd..

That might explain some of those mysterious blockades many of us have suffered.

It was also a tough fight against galleons and such, but that is another story.
