Trade law

[FailedNormiee]

So the reason you do not want free trade as a facist italy is because all your extra resources get exported out and all you get back is pretty much some construction speed bonus?

You get a big research bonus though and you can trade back resources you need for a while until the world war starts. Then you can swtich back to a more restricted trade policy. The research bonus is a big deal.

I prefer having the research bonus from free trade.

One potential downside of allowing more trade is that before the world war starts, you are very likely feeding your soon to be enemy with your resources.

Meanwhile, they are providing you with additional civilian factories.

You only get the extra factories if countries buy from you.

I see from the production tab that my resources have been exported, I went from 40+ of a resource to -19, so im assuming i should get 7 civillian factories for that.

how export works is that. you export % of your resources.
doesn't matter if no one is trading for you you lose those resources (until you lower your trade law)
but IF a country imports from you you gain extra factories.

after playing america i've gained like 40+ civilian factories because people were trading with me while i can play france or britian. and not see a single country import from me despite all the resources my trade law is shipping out

True - Which is why I wouldn't consider embargoes unless I happened to be sitting on the worlds largest deposit of oil or rubber.
