Trade embargoes.

[WKIII]

Is it just me or the trade embargoes doesn't make any difference to trade power at all?

When I am embargoing Burgundy as England, it shows the penalty of about -40% but actually when removing the embargo their trade power stays exactly the same (about 28.8).

wait for the month to tick, it calculates only on the 1st

Nope, embargoes are not actually doing anything in 1.8.1. Hopefully that will be fixed next patch.

But they give a few poor points of power projection.

Sure I am waiting. it does not make any difference, I tried and tested it like a hundred of times.

Yep, that really ruins all my game. Really no point to play the game until next patch. The game mechanics are literally broken.

But they give a few poor points of power projection.

LoL, indeed.

Huh. If you are somewhat of a dominant power in a trade node, your embargoes mean a pretty big deal to the other guy, as they can get as much as -50% in trade power from your embargo.
Of course, with there being so many +% modifiers to trade power, it may seem like it's not doing much... just a couple of ideas in trade and some national idea sets will easily offset that penalty... Have to get embargo efficiency ideas for it to really hurt the other guy.

Well, this explains a lot. No wonder that Ottoman embargo on me doesn't seem to be hindering my Constantinople trade. I may have to totally start over my Venice game when they get this working, it may have been much easier than it should have been.

Best I've gotten was 3-4 PP points.

Sometimes you're stuck in a Regency council, and it's those few points (and some insults) that make the difference between hitting 25 though.

Then again, vassalizing a rival pretty much gives you 100 PP forever.
