I thought it was odd in vicky that you could not blockade a countries shipping. Trade wars were huge in the 1800's. Seems odd to not have it in a game of that era.
Will Vicky2 have something like convoys?

Yes you could, and yes there was convoys. It wasn't very effective to blockade convoys though, unless said nation had very few coastal provinces in his homeland. You could only blockade resource convoys from overseas provinces, so this would only be crippling to nations who are very dependent on income from their colonies, such as the Netherlands.
Isn't that up for debate?
Very much so, but that is a topic better suited for in-depth discussion over at the history forums, not here on the Victoria forums
maybe a full convoy system like in HOI3 would be to much, because as far as I know, (modern) convoys and escort vessels were first used in Mid-WWI. But 'Commerce Raiding' / 'Commerce protection' missions for naval formations would be great, but modeling the resource-flows between and inside nations could be tricky.
For a moment I thought you said "cowboys"...
I would also like for some (more efficient? more complete?) way to cut off a nation from the world market (or at least do it on the part of its border where it gets most of it's imports, which is usually the coast), and thus raise it's militancy, war weariness or whatever... Alas...
