The Complete Beginner's Guide To EU4 Trade

I have bout 1500 hours on ck3 Vic 3 and hoi4 but 1 hour on eu4 I now learned how to do that entirely pretty simple once you learn it

finally.. inner peace..

I live in Cuiabá and I was extremely disappointed with our trade node 😂

As someone who usually plays FPS games, I had the craziest learning curve for EU4

I'm just starting out and I'm using console commands to get what I want just until I get used to the game, just posting this so others know it's nothing to be ashamed of and not to be put off the game it's so much fun.

what DLC is that?

but how many ships you want to send?

It’s thé most unhistorical fact in this game but it’s still a good game

To this day I still can't figure out if Trade Steering in an area helps you pull to that node, or push from that node to where you want the value to go. Huge difference, especially for Ivory Coast!

Hello im playing norway, im poor need help

Congrats you are literally just wrong

If you properly own all your provinces in the node and just fill in light ships as necessary means you are essentially an end node. Like Sevilla is ridiculously easy for Castile to get 99%

What about trade posts for merchant republics

Is it really true that no trade ever left Venice? And that a lot of trade ended up in the English Channel?

I wouldn't call this a "beginners" guide. Love this game but the trade system is just way too damn complex and confusing. I need the tutorial for 10 year olds.

If the tutorial is for beginners, why have you included the DLCs?

nice

Pretty pointless video unless you have the same mods this guys has

Also it's a completely legit strategy to move your main trade city away from a node you control 3 centres of trade in, then send a merchant to the node, apply exclusive trade rights, move merchant away, auto lose privilege but keep the 3 mercantilism, then repeat until you've destroyed trade in the game for everyone else...
