    I've parked my Spanish Campaign until such time as CA fix the CTD bug on the New Spain Mission, and I've started a brand new British Campaign. I thought this time I'd try restricting myself to one Trade Port per Trade Theatre and see what difference that makes to the naval campaign.

    I have completed the New Spain Mission with no CTD. Must be some associated event or something that happened at the same time that caused the CTD not the mission itself.

    Well, I've fully documented the causes of the CTD and my attempts to find a workaround it. If you can think of something else I haven't tried then please let me know and I'll try it.

    I wish they would make the trade theatres more competative. It seems too easy to dominate and therefore have all the money you need.

    My current self-imposed limitation of 'only one trade port per theatre' seems to make a big difference.

    For a start I'm getting a lot more naval activity in this campaign than usual, but also the money I can make from the trade ports is lower, due to the dimishing shipment rules, and of course factions who are not my enemy are able to make money out of trade.

    I notice that the AI rarely grabs more than one trade port for itself, so it levels the playing field somewhat.

    Ok good to know Didz. I think I might do this.
