Map Teaser - 27th of May

[Wizzington]

Today's map teaser: Trade route map of Europe. You may notice a few changes.

 

[Rinsukaze]

European trade redone, study time!

EDIT: The change Sevilla -> Genoa was already notified, but it's a big change nonetheless

 

[Aries666]

No French end node, England and Spain better watch out.

 

[Ricox]

RIP Sevilla.

Did i see right? Even the english channel isn't an endnonde anymore, it seems to flow into champagne.

No, Champagne goes to Channel.

The endnodes are Venice, Genoa & EC.

 

[Magean]

Well, I notice only three major changes (Sevilla -> Genoa, Genoa as an end node, Bordeaux -> Champagne) but all of this has already been thoroughly discussed though.

 

[Oscaretti]

What's Semien? It appears to be a subject of some nation.

 

[Holbenilord]

What's Semien? It appears to be a subject of some nation.

Jewish state in Ethiopia I assume.

 

[DVF]

Beta Israel confirmed! Will there be any new jewish mechanics?

 

[Oscaretti]

Also trade from Champagne goes to Genoa. Essentially, all nodes downstream from Genoa are now upstream.

 

[LoriKe]

Oh, now that i looked more cautiously i see, my bad.

Italy is very very strong now.
France is slightly nerfed, but they will always get a decent share of Genoa.
The best strategy for Spain will be gunning for Italy, and Portugal is left without a viable option if Spain decides to forward in Seville and collect in Genoa.
Aragon should be a very interesting country to play in this patch. Their starting income is probably close to Castile's now.

 

[Oscaretti]

I regret starting my Aragon game in this patch >;(

Genoa(trade node) shouldn't be the richest. Thats a huge buff to Genoa(country) that was starting to fail at that time.

 

[Blijert]

I like the changes to the French nodes, Champagne just became a lot more important since it is much more the "end"node for the french

 

[IndianSummer]

Well, I notice only three major changes (Sevilla -> Genoa, Genoa as an end node, Bordeaux -> Champagne) but all of this has already been thoroughly discussed though.

Four changes, add Alexandria -> Tunis to the changes as well, instead of Alexandria -> Genoa

 

[Wizzington]

Genoa(trade node) shouldn't be the richest. Thats a huge buff to Genoa(country) that was starting to fail at that time.

Don't conflate the trade node and the country. Genoa doesn't have that much power in the node.

 

[Zak Preston]

Poor Sevilla... Genoa and English Channel may potentially feed France like crazy.

 

[Flush62]

So Spain & France will be fighting over Genoa trade whilst France will also fight England and maybe the Netherlands over English Channel trade.
