Not sure why Valenica isn't available for Global Trade spawn.

[Vampiresbane]

I moved my trading capital to Valencia to gather from the trade node Genoa. I have 50%+ control of Genoa, but for whatever reason, Servilla is showing up for the tooltip for the Global Trade institution AND it's X'd out.

Is Valencia not valid? Ultimately I really just care if I can get the institution to start at one of my provinces-doesn't matter which one, but I'd like it to be Valencia. My actual capital is Madrid.

Here's some screenshots to help.

The name in the tooltip does not mean it's the only place where it can spawn. All provinces in the entire world that fulfil the criteria have the same chance to get it.

I *think* that is a UI issue with the tooltip for institution spawn. Valencia should be possible but the tooltip still talks about your capital and not your trade capital. As long as you are the largest trade power in the highest value node and you have provinces in that node that have a land connection to your capital then you should be eligible.

But it prioritizes the node with the highest (retained) trade value at the time that the institution spawns tho?

It can only spawn in the highest value trade node at the time it spawns yes (triggers say which provinces are able to get it but among those it is random).
The tooltip up there uses the capital as an example. It's not necessarily the province in your land that is closest to fulfil them.

Has it been suggested to show institution eligibility on the province-info-screen? E.g. I click Valencia, go to the list of institutions present in it, hover global trade, and the game tells me if Global Trade could spawn in that specific province.
