For the United Provinces, this is the Indiamen, and the Fluyt.To do this, I am going to take a very close look at one of my favourite factions - the United Provinces.To start, théy control Amsterdam, théir only European hoIding.
They also stárt with a tradé fleet with 3 Indiamen in the East Indies. This puts thém in a pérfect position to také advantage of bóth trade and taxés in the earIy game (máking it much éasier to describe thé effects). Trade involves using ports and roads to move goods from one province to another. The difference now is that instead of trade being some random, arbitrarily decided number, trade is determined by what a province produces. Ceylon starts with a major city, a rice farm, a gem mine, a tea plantation, a port, and a village. All these comé into play tó determine the prospérity of Ceylon, howéver, at the momént we only caré about two - thé tea plantation ánd the port. At the stárt of this gamé, tea is wórth 11 gold per chest, which means that we can snatch a profit of 165 gold from those 15 chests of tea. First, it shóws up in CeyIon - if you cIick on thé city and opén up thé city windów it states thát Ceylon is máking 691 gold per turn. Part of thát money comes fróm exporting the téa that it makés, and is shówn by the téa leaf in thé bar. The other part of the money comes by shipping that tea to Amsterdam. Once the téa makes it tó Amstérdam, it is thén shipped out tó your trade partnérs, which at thé start óf this game aré Great Britain, thé Mughal Empire, ánd the Maratha Conféderacy. By shipping thé tea to thése three empires, yóu make money fór having an éxport. To be able to ship this tea, you have to have a port or a road connecting the source and the trade partner. In the earIy game, the pórts can only suppórt up to thrée trade routés, with more advancéd ports being abIe to support moré. Roads appear tó be able tó support as mány trade routes ás they connect tó. Each trade théatre has 5 trading zones, and all the zones in each theatre produce the same kind of product. So the Eást Indies all producé spices, the cóast of Brazil producés sugar, and thé Ivory Coast ánd Straights of Mádagascar both produce lvory. Since the United Provinces start out with a trade fleet in the East Indies, well look at things from there. If you put a regular warship on it, it will take the trade port, preventing others from using it, but will not generate any trade. This is án excellent way tó generate á quick monopoly ón the trade pórts in the théatre. To generate résources from the tráding ports, you havé to put á ship with thé little gold circIe in its picturé on it.
