Is OE choking my trade in wartime?

[HNT]

Playing Georgia (4.1b). At some point at war with OE, The Mamluks, Qara Koyunlu and Kazakh. My economy is trade based and I noticed that my trade income decreased drastically. After peacing out with OE, my trade income increases again. Some years after that I received a COT in Karli, apparently without any reason. I speculate that:
1) while at war with OE, they somehow blocked my trade as they control the Sea of Marmara and all the adjacent provinces.
2) This blocking of trade possibly fired the event, receiving a COT for free.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thx.

I know nothing.

Did the OE or an ally embargo you? That would be the only way they can get to your trade afaik. Controlling the Bosporus only gives a trade bonus.

I believe that you stop receiving trade income generated from their provinces to whatever COT your are in. I am not sure if just war is enough to do this, or if it requires an embargo outright. As for receiving the COT, it could just be random or based on the amount of trade resources in your area.

I had a look at my savegames again and I post here some screenies to clarify the issue. The upper one is taken at the day Qara Koyunlu DOW'ed me: I've 20 merchants giving me 15 ducats/month. Far below the screenie in wartime while The Mamluks embargoed me. I've still 20 merchants (only 15 giving revenue) affording 1.4 ducats/month. My income from Venice is 0 (!!) :wacko: while it was 80.9 during peacetime. My income from Astrakhan during the war is 12.8 per year i.e 1.07 each month. That's my only trade route not utilizing the Sea of Marmara and it accounts for about 75% of my trade income. So I'm speculating that since
1) my merchants and their revenues are shipped by sea;
2) the country controlling the Sea of Marmara simply blocks this during wartime thereby choking my economy.

War can effect demand could be one reason.

Can you look and see if anyone was embargoing you? It should be listed in your diplomacy list.

You can see that the difference in the COT value for Venezia (war/peace) is only 46 ducats.

Only The Mamluks were embargoing me.
