trade effectiveness - quick question

[mikwarleo]

during war when trade effectiveness falls do you LOSE part of the trade (your resources and/or those sent to you in return)? Or do you keep the resources:

For example:

1. I trade 100 energy for 100 metal at 50% effectiveness:

What is the result:
a) I send 100 energy, 100 arrives, they send 100 metal, 50 arrives?
b) I send 100 energy, 50 arrives, they send 50 metal, 25 arrives?
c) I send 100 energy, 50 arrives, they send 100 metal, 50 arrives?
d) I send 50 energy, I receive 50 metal (both sides simply keep or don't send the difference, nothing is lost just listed trade is only 50% 'effective)?

If my enemy is not at war with my trading partner I would assume the result is A but want to be sure...

If the enemy is at war with my trading partner I would assume the result is either B or C...

thanks

What's this "effectiveness" you speak of. Do you mean the "chance" section when you try and make a trade. Because I always thought that was the chance of them accepting the trade, not how effective the shipping was.

Does the trade efficiency drop is there is no water seperating the trading partners? For example, Germany trading with Italy. Is there a drop in effectiveness there, even though allies ships can't get at the transports?

As been mentioned its like in c).

Trade eff is based upon the number of enemy vessels on sea between you and your trading partner. If you have a direct landconnection or are at peace you will always trade at 100%.
