The centers of Trade

[unmerged(29778)]

My question is two-fold, firstly, when does the Admiralty event take place for England, granting it a CoT in Anglia, and are there any pre-requisites needed for the event to take place?
Are there any ways to 'force' the AIs to create more CoTs than what's randomly generated in the game already, i.e through blocking off trade from certain countries from your own controlled CoTs in their territory, and similarily, is there anything reducting the creation of new CoTs, i.e taking over too many countries, reducing the number of countries with merchants, and trade in the game in general being reduced through a reduction in the number of countries?
Thanks in advance,

Firstly: I don't know the answer offhand and I don't have EU2 or FTG installed on this machine yet, but I can point you to an obscure part of my even more obscure website. Here you will find interlinked HTML documentation for all events in vanilla EU2. It should be easier to read than the event files, if that's what keeps you from reading them. (If you simply didn't know you could read them, they're in the DB\Events folder.)

Secondly: The AIs do not create the COTs, the game does. There is a minimum number of COTs that must be in the game; if the closure of a COT results in there being fewer than this present, the game will create a new one. I believe it is also possible for new COTs to spawn even when there already more than the minimum number, but there is a limit to how many can be present at once.
I think the limits are 21 and 32, but EU2Wiki seems to be down so I can't confirm it.

#The Admirality#
event = {

id = 3011
random = no
trigger = {
NOT = {
event = 3753
domestic = {
type = land
value = 6
}
}
}
country = ENG
name = "EVENTNAME3011"
desc = "EVENTHIST3011"
style = 2

date = { day = 1 month = march year = 1530 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1561 }


Not 100% sure what the trigger is... must be Naval 6 or more?

World trade does not lower when the number of cots drop, it just gets relocated.

must not be land 6 or more.
