Help with Portuguese traders - religion

[Ninjak]

Greetings. It’s been a while since I played this game but I also had this problem before. The deal with the Portuguese traders arriving from Moluccas, Macau, and Goa is that if you build a port in a province that is connected to the sea, and you have a few buildings built in that province, then the Portuguese will keep coming to your dojo/throne room. They’ll keep coming until you build the trading post for them or the building queue slot in that port province is all filled up with other buildings. Build only a few ports in your domain (i.e. 4 or 5 ports) in certain provinces where the Portuguese and Dutch traders are more likely to dock their ship for the first time like in the southern Sumatsu provinces or in province that have a rich sea port. That way the Portuguese will stop coming. Personally, I would just reject the proselytizing Catholic traders and wait for the industrious Protestants since English and Dutch traders are only interested in trade and commerce not converting the natives.
