Military tab. I believe the last one when you click on your shield. On left most bottom quadrant.

It also shows on the bottom of the info box in the Build Unit/Building map display.

Annoying, after about 4 years playing as England the game becomes choppy and unplayable (after peace in the 100 years war, tried twice). The previous lag problem I had was fixed with updating drivers, but this problem seems specific to England as other nations don't cause it.

According to the pdox tech forum it's because I have too many provinces with rebels wanting to kill me. Would make sense if they sprang up after a peace deal, but then again, why not while playing Muscovy or Denmark?

Seriously, what do I need to convert people? the lowest I got to was 1111 years. looking at the info tap forts add to the ability to convert, so I need to max my forts? or I guess go to the religious idea tree.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Where is that trade guide someone was talking about earlier?

So guys, I am not so sure about the "don't need to use a merchant to transfer trade in a one-way node" thing. I mean sure you don't HAVE to, but if you have like no presence there without a merchant, a lot of the stuff will be probably retained by the local powers.

This is why you put in a fleet of light ships. All their trade power is used to transfer trade along.

I thought you can only send light ships to nodes you already have a presence in.

I send a merchant, then ships then recall the merchant. That works fine.

Well who are you playing? As spain, a couple of my national ideas were about increasing missionary efforts and then there's eventually the counter-reformation that helps too - as well as picking up and advisor that increases missionary strength.

As a muslim power, you just need to make sure you pick options to become pious in events as that can get conversion times down - real quick.

Ah and then light ships can continue as they don't check for merchant presence anymore?

It seems then that Spain would rarely be interested in participating in the New World, Italy and Burgundy at the same time.

Historically it was more a case of <spanish> holy shit we can dominate BOTH terminus nodes AND most of the source nodes, if we do this right we can own ALL world trade!</spanish>. The spanish WERE in Italy and in the Netherlands to begin with. It's just that France and England started fucking with their possessions there.

Bingo. The merchant gives you 2 trade power, the ships then give you 3-6 each and with the ships there you have a presence.

Except that all of those things happened contemporaneously. Hispaniola was first colonized around the time that Spain was stretching its might against France in Italy.

It was also Castille going to the new world and aragon going into italy, burgundy was dealing with a revolt and hapsburg emperor were dealing with religious "difficulties" the problem was they were all the same person.

But you are right, to model it correctly what you really need is four countries with different sets of ideas and when castillian ideas take over everything it all falls apart.
