Merchant Republics & Trade Posts in India

[coleslaw]

I'm playing as a Danish merchant republic and I've run into a snag that prevents me from building trading posts in the red sea area along the coast that I own. The obstruction is a criterion which says "[X] Can be reached by sea". Since I don't think I can build the Suez canal and I can't move my capital, is it just impossible to build trade posts in an unconnected sea zone area like the Indian ocean zone? Thanks.

the only way to have acces to both seas you need to own Sinai also they need to be part of your desmense not realm

Alright I'll try that, thanks.

Do u have to fully control Duchy of Sinai or just country of Sinai , do u have to have trade posts on those lands ? I allready have Duchy of Sinai but i cant pass Suez atm

I assume you will need to have a direct land connection from a med port to a red sea port so at least two counties.

have Duchy of Cairo connected to Sinai but cant build trade posts for same reason as before :D Nothing has changed
