Natives and Trade...

[unmerged(332)]

I have two questions, well, actually three, to the beta tester or the german players (grrrr...) concerning the aspects of trade and natives. Here they are:

1) What determines the attitude of natives towards you, can you improve it? Or is it preset?

2) When natives are incorporated into your ever more dynamic colony, do they change religion? From being pagans to a more civilized christian belief?

3) Regarding trade, can a country be blockaded from sea? If it can, does it lose part (or all) of its overseas profits and revenues?

Thanx for the attention!!

1) Preset for unorganized natives, like any other country for organised natives nations (ie Incas, iroquois, Aztecs, Mogol, Hyderabad, Mysore, China and Japan)

2)When incorporated, the religion is the colonisator's religion.

3)Militarily yes, trade wise no (COT are accessible unless trade is refused, nothing to do with geography)

No economic blockade???? So you can't force your enemy into economic submission, like England did with France during the 18th century time and again????? Alfred Mahan is rolling in his grave!!!!!

See ya!

Blockades from the sea weaken the supply and strength of the city/fortress being besieged, making it much easier to capture it.

If you control Center of Trades, you can deny their access to other countries.

But it's difficult to really establish an economical blockade.

They did not do it with any sucess worth mentioning before the Napoleonic wars.

Economic blockade as a real weapon started during that era, if I recall correct, and thats one the changes in war and politics that is the reason for having that at the end for the EU period.

Actually there is a later naval technology called 'blockade'.

When you have it then fleets blockade adjacent harbours (shown with locks on ports)

Blockaded provinces only contribute half the normal tax income.

Well, actually, naval blockade of enemy ports was a major part of 17th/18th century warfare. The Netherlands and England would not have succeeded in reaching major power status without it, since they didn't have the land based power of their common enemy, France, not by a long shot!
The strategy used, in such circunstances, was a effective naval blockade in order to suppress the enemy's commerce, interrupting its inflow of currency and hence its capacity to finance the war.
The idea behind sea power was not to help, or facilitate, the armed invasion of enemy coutries, the idea was to reduce your enemy's capacity to carry on the war.
Therefore, I can´t see the advantage of being a sea power in EU, well, at least not in the historical meaning of the word.

Hope to hear from you soon!
