Sea trade efficiency

[Ramses]

Hi.

I'm having trouble playing with the minor countries : sea trade efficiency (trade contracted in Diplomatic screen) is really low at war time, even when your ennemies don't have ships able to reach the trade route.

Is there a way in a first time to lower the "interdiction" effect by ennemy fleet ? Any value to mod ?

And in a second time, can it be improved ? be less "statistical" and check where the subs really are.

Nothing to do with support.

I've done a couple of tests with this.

Basically, the easiest way to increased overseas trade efficiency at war time is

A) Obtain a land connection to trading partners Capital.
B) Build masses of convoys and escorts.

Minor countries..Researched "Rear area dumps" yet?
Neccesary for overland convoys..(says so, when reseaching..only)
Will improve peacetime trade efficiency greatly..And has effect on wartime eff. when no enemy interference..
