British Missions

[michaelbeattie]

I am trying to complete all the British Missions.
One mission says "trade node value of English Channel 500"
I would like to find the current trade node value so I can figure out if I am anywhere close to 500, but I can't locate the node value. Does anyone know where I can find that.
Another mission says "Any ally" of a certain culture with a capital in the low countries has at least 15 provinces. I am allied to Brabant, Liege, and Gelhre and the relationship value is 200, 200, and 160. Those countries own about 19 provinces. Does anyone know how to finish the mission? Does a single ally have to own 15 or more or can multiple allies add up to 15 or more? It's kind of unclear to me.

Go to the "Trade" map mode. Its icon looks like a shipping crate. It's the same one you use to assign merchants to trade nodes.

And yes, the "any ally" mission requires a single nation to own all the provinces. The best way to get that is to ally Burgundy. They and their vassals/unions are either enough or almost enough, I can't remember which. As England, it's very beneficial to go for the Burgundian inheritance anyway. That's not always possible--sometimes they'll rival you. But if you're trying to complete the mission tree for the Anglophile achievement, restarting until they aren't rivals is useful.

Also, note that you can also complete the mission by just conquering the Lowlands yourself. And you want to. They have a lot of trade centers and estuaries that give them power in the English Channel node, power you want for yourself. Get it by the inheritance or by the sword, but get it either way.

You could also (more easily) disable Domination and/or revert to an earlier version and complete the Rule Britannia version of the mission tree the achievement was created for.

Or grow enough so Burgundy can't rival you. It is the easiest way as France if they rival you from the start, so I think it should be a bit harder, but diable as England (probably will check when I play with them).
