[EU4] Trade FAQ

[fuchsiafreud]

it's nice to see a eu4 content creator with this level of editing and concise writing. I've watched videos about this topic twice this length that covered less.

I must admit, you are singularly unique in my subscription tab because you are the only one that focuses solely on explaining interesting strats and basic yet complex mechanics. You're new, already very successful for how many videos you have up, and good at them, as well as the fact that I love every last one you've put up. Your explanation of trade helps me after over 300 hours into the game, and your Caddo video inspired my newest game. Thank you for what you do, keep it up as long as it interests you, and I'll be here soaking in the knowledge!

I love the fact you divide and conquer everything. Not EU4 but the topics itself and present them in understandable chunks. Great job man. Salute.

I just recently found your channel and it is already amongst my favorite EU4 channels. I would love to see more content like guides and let's plays.

I have 800 hours played in EU4 but never really fully understood the trade system, your guides helped me a lot. Thanks

[DepressedHandsomeSpaceCop]

These are university-quality lectures. Concise, well-edited, well-thought out. Keep up the good work

[supermikeikev]

I really like how complex it is, it gives me more to come back to. And I thank you for both explaining and posting this faq. Subbed

[dylanzawila]

Honestly, as a player who has played thousands of hours, you do a superb job in breaking down the complexity of EU4 and building it back up for newer players, keep it up.

You are a glorious, talented and amazing guidemaker, plus you just now started making guides too. I went to your channel to listen to more guides before playing my next game, and imagine my surprise when you don't have any others! The ones you have are AMAZING, and I seriously hope you do some for every aspect of this game. Your voice is perfect, soothing, and concise, your editing is amazing, and your skill is undeniable.

As for suggestions for other videos, I do have some suggestions on things I personally have had some trouble with. In order, here is what I would love to see from you:

1. Religions and Reformations. Benefits and reasons to stay Catholic or go Protestant, or anything else religion related.
2. Idea Groups. What are your favorite idea groups and why? What are the best strategies for them?
3. Army Makeup, Ratios, and Winning Battles. I know the basics right now, but hearing from you what ratio is best for our land armies would be great.
4. General Tips and Tricks, ESPECIALLY for playing single-territory nations. Just seeing your advice for something like this would be amazing.

If I watch your videos I'm like a sponge, soaking in all the knowledge.

[MichaelMorrison]

Steam says I have 350 hours in EU4, but I've learned more about how to improve my strategies in just an hour watching some of your videos.

Thanks a bunch!

Wow, I always thought things like workshops, which raise production efficiency, raised my trade value. I would spam those all the time and get manufacturies later. Even a player with a couple thousand hours can learn new things from you. Thanks for the awesome video :D

[adrianatgaming]

One thing I feel should be elaborated on, is that every merchant the player has steering trade, adds a +10% bonus to trade power to the their home node, as long they do not have any merchant collecting trade in any node other than their home node. In addition to the other multipliers trade-steering merchants give, I reckon it would almost always be more profitable to steer trade rather than have a merchant collect from your home node, as long you are steering from a downstream node.

The last question was a dumb question to ask. It's the complexity (e.g. all the modifiers/variables) that allow you to play the game in allot of different ways and it's this that makes the game so re-playable
