I think you are right- Delhi forces are there after Delhi-Kashmir war, and unlikely to have military access. I have never seen this "no military access- no fighting" before, but it is a very valid explanation.
BTW, I found that ping-ponging rebels are nice sometimes. When I want to improve relationship with a neighbour, I just go to ping-pong his rebels. Every battle improves relations by +5.
Are you both at peace?Tarresh said:

Wow, you are amazing. So was it just intensive trading? Im assuming you also moved your sliders to centralized. If you did do trading, how did you afford so many merchants? Each one costs 8-9 ducats for me and even if every single one managed to stick, I would only have maybe 15-20 merchants, and monthly income might be 15.

But lots of early wars on other minors, with tribute being cash + vassalisation, right?
I do not cheat.joshau-k said:
Correct the montly income is small to start so you must use your merchants wisely. As soon as you have 10 merchants placed your yearly income will be around 22 and then when you have as many as I do, it is around 35. So it is exponential, the more merchants you have the more you can send out to make money, the more you make money, the more you can send merchants out.JT121 said:
That would destroy my trade, and it would take too long, and it would be too risky.Neblogai said:
O, see, I have 10-12 placed merchants and only 11 monthly. I think the reason for that is because for some reason I went for Novgorod as my first trading center (it still had open spots, and was cheaper to send to) rather than do fierce competition in flanders. Does starting swiss hold its own in flanders?
It's been a long time since I followed (and posted in) this thread, so I don't know how common this is, particularly with IN, but I found it.. cute.

I traded first in Venice then I moved to flanders. But what I do first is compare all of my compete chances to other countries and calculate if I have a good percentage of placing a merchant.JT121 said:
Also I moved my slider towards free trade.

So Switzerland has enough of cash and gets enough of census tax to send out its merchants? How much does sending a merchant cost? In my games, it was 9 - 27 ducats (I was a bit mercantilist..
) - that's why I thought early wars for cash were needed. As Bihar, I had already ~580 ducats in treasury by 1410, 5 vassals, babboy of 1.08 (-1% compete chance), and prestige 37 (+3.7% compete chance).
sending merchants were 9 ducats, so I sent out 1 each year, but that quickly escalated to where I could send out 5 each year (the date of the screenshot)Neblogai said:So Switzerland has enough of cash and gets enough of census tax to send out its merchants?
