I Need Lessons!!!!

Welcome to the .org!

Regarding your request, if I understand correctly I think that you may find consulting the manual more rewarding than gathering those bits of information you need from diverse posts all over the forum. But in case you prefer the collected wisdom of these pages (oh my!) , try the following reads:

Greetings, Indy.

From your posts it seems as though you're learning MTW2 as well. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to learn them both at the same time, but obviously that's your business.

As Deus ret. said, reading the manual would be a sensible choice. That's generally how you learn, unless you prefer to just get stuck in and pick things up as you go along.

A quick answer for trade though: it's very simple. Trade between coastal provinces happens automatically so long as you have ships in place. Generally speaking, that's it; and the rest is pretty much common sense (like obviously you can't trade if the province has no goods with which TO trade). You can read the manual or the guides for exceptions and specifics.
