If they decide to put in auto-merchants, I hope they'll do it in an intelligent way. Not just sending away a merchant to an CoT whenever you get one. But rather that you can change some settings like how many merchants you want to send each time and where you want to send them.

Hopefully they'll add something like this in the first patch.

Wouldn't be in the first patch, as I think that's acoming pretty soon. Maybe second, but I'm guessing trade system revamping won't be coming any time soon. One can always cross one's fingers, though!

yes I really dislike the merchant system because of the "busy work" feel but I don't want an auto-merchant system either because I would be worried all the time that my hard-earned ducats are going to waste!

Also if COTs can be 'ruined' like they can be in EU2 by driving out all the competitors (so that the COT is removed and a new one appears somewhere else) then I wouldn't want an autosend function because I would be worried it would do that.

I would prefer the merchant system to be handled by the human player in a more abstract way, rather than having to click all over the globe every few months :/

Im with automerchant too ,or an option to assign 3-4 COTs where your trading advisors sends merchants.
Will trade map be like eu2 "only click to coloured territory" or if auto isnt added i will have to go blind pointing the tinny COT icon?

If an auto-send feature is to be implemented, it should include the following options:

* Autosend nearest CoT first
* Autosend cheapest CoT first
* Autosend when available
* Autosend in batches of <number>
* Autosend in <date> only
* Autosend to <CoT> only
* Autosend in Peace only
