In the stream it was mentioned that the nodes were more balanced, but they didn't look more balanced. Of particular note is that Sevilla node. It could just be the start they picked, but it makes me wonder if Iberian dominance in the new world will have a major money implication.
Might be deliberate; since they added more provinces to Castille I believe they are buffing that nation, possibly as a counter to France.
At first I was like: "Bordeux, and end node! Muahaha, now Le Blob can't be drained from trade anymore!"
Big change is that Caribbean does not steer to Cheasapeak but only to Sevilla.
EDIT: It does, my mistake, sorry.

Looks like it's going to English Channel as well
Edit: I t looks like it still has a connection with Cheasapeak , but in which direction?
That's...awful. WTF is up with that? It should be possible to steer it north, rather vexing to nerf NA tribes...
english channel steer from ivory cost and cheasapeak.
bordeaux from st.laurence and ivory cost
sevilla from caribean and ivory cost
France gets a trade not for herself, POR/SPA and ENG/NET have to share one. I detect imbalance
Portugal/Spain will both push trade toward Sevilla. GB and Netherlands will both push toward English Channel. France might win on land, but they'll lose that trade war if they haven't wiped those other guys out.
Bravo, no WETN. Need to see under that Atlantic TI before we can really comment on the New World -> Old World trade, but that bunching together of trade nodes heading into Bordeaux gives me hope it's not all predetermined.
yea that's crappy. It would be great if POR/SPA/FRA/NED/ENG have their own trade node
No it's still there, caribbean also goes to Sevilla AND either Channel or Bordeaux, can't see which of the two
but ideally sharing a node should be an advantage, that was the original plan as to why Portugal and Spain shared a node. But as of now it's more of an hindrance.
that is true, it may actually be a disatdvantage for them, we shall see
My bad, jumping to conclusions too fast in this case.
I'm glad to see the end of WETN, even though protecting trade in Caribbean will be much harder without an intermediate node plugging up the propagation. I guess some ships will need to sleep with the fish.
