Rome: Trade Goods list..

[unmerged(61972)]

Looks great!

But how exactly does salt reduce recruitment time?

Salt is the anglicized word for Latin "Sal" which was a form of currency and how we get the current word "salary"; ergo, I assume the idea was that this additional form of "currency" sped up the time required to get folks to join the ranks of the army...or something like that

 

[Calantyr]

Yup, armies used to be paid with salt because it was so valuable. And practical.

 

[Snall]

I actually like revolt risk modifiers and use them all the time, while most revolts are only annoying I dislike being annoyed..heh.

 

[lwarmonger]

If there are civil war event chains that spring from revolt risk (because of the governor) or rebel armies, then that might actually be a useful trade good to have... especially if the danger of civil war increases with the number of provinces that have revolt risk and the degree to which they have it.

Just wondering- if i have let's say a province that produces grain. Now i trade some amber as well. Do the bonuses stack- ie i get 3% pop growth and 10% tax increase?

if you have enough tradeslots then yes.

Thank you.
That explains it very well.

whoa

Think of the possiblities. So now when I start I am probably going to want to trade everything in Rome, so I get all the bonuses in Rome. But this brings up another point.

Would we still get bonuses if we traded .1 for .1 that is the same as if we traded 1 for 1?

Could you clarify how many tradeslots can province have? And how are they aquired? I know that Forum gives +1 TR. What about other things? Techs?

 

[Namm]

I didn't know that the peoples of Gaul was less rebellious (wine) or that the remote and sparsely populated eastern Baltic region was renowned for its high tax incomes (amber). The trade goods bonuses seems a bit game-ish.

Aren't the trade slots very similar to EU3's national ideas by the way?

 

[Seelensturm]

It is a modifier. When the baltic provinces have a base tax of 1, even with amber you won`t get much tax out of them. But if you trade the amber to a rich province like Rome, the people will pay a lot for it.

yes.

 

[STGeorge]

yes.

Instead of recruting speed you should maybe have a lower recruit cost...

 

[comagoosie]

yes.

This game is going to blow my mind!?!

but what if you are rich and need troops, but don't feel like hiring mercs. This arguement could go either way and with good reasons.

heh

 

[richtern]

Say you have a resource you want to trade but don't need anything else. Would it be possible to trade it in exchange for a yearly fee?

they way i understand it, yes lets say that carthage wants wine, then u sell wine to them for a higher price than if u sold the wine to a nation which produced wine themselves.

I believe distance is a large factor as well.
