border trade?

May if it yet discuss before, but i wonder why inlands provinces like poland cannot trade with border provinces and just are able for local trade. Does anyone know if it's possible to make a new building for this? It could be fun to create an inland trade line with new building and agent. If someone know?

There were many thieves at that time. Merchants put their lives at stake when travelling alone to sell their goods. Maybe that's why CA didn't allow inland provinces to trade with each other.

I don't think you need a new buidling, a skilled modder might be able to unlock this if it's not hard-codded, my modding skills aren't sufficient though.

Good point about the thieves ldvs - u'd also need roadways and navigable rivers and these weren't really up to muster until atleast 18th century. Before then, most roads were either dirt tracks or old roman roads that had fallen in to disrepair.

I think we also have to remember that to make the game 100% accurate would probably mean running it on a Cray - anyone ever had a battle where there was a ford across the river? and spooky how all the bridges are immaculate in the game?
