Where to move my trade city?
Hey playing as Prussia and I have conquered Lubeck, Sachsen, Krakau and Den Haag. Although I have a lot of hours on this game, I still don't fully understand trade. My main trade city is Berlin and I was wondering to which city I should move it to get the most out of trade? Thanks.

Look at the trade map. The arrows show you where the money flows. Your long time goal should always be to secure a node, where no arrows flow away from, these are the English Channel, Genoa and Venice. You will always collect money in your home node, which is now Saxony or Lubeck, just check on the map. It'd probably be best if you moved your capital/trade city to Den Haag, since its in the end node English Channel, then try securing all the estuaries and important harbours etc. in that node.

Den Haag is the best one, but it’s important how much trade power do you have in this node. Make a chain krakow-saxony-lubeck-den Haag and conquer provinces of English channel node as much as possible

It is easier to control the Lubeck node than EC as Prussia, and Lubeck is much better than saxony so move it there.

If you control enough of the EC move it there for sure. I'm saying Lubeck should be an intermediary node between Saxony and Lubeck. EC>Lubeck>Saxony. All depends on your control of EC (Just having Den Haag is not enough imo).

I have Amsterdam, Antwerp and Zeeland as well but Great Britain still has the majority of trade power in the EC. I was also wondering whether to take trade or exploration next? I have a PU over France so I basically have Europe secure.
