Embargo ?

[lsutiger17]

Is there a Mod that gives more information on what happens when I embargo? Playing as Italy and Austria and I are rivals. Austria imports a lot of goods from me, but I think I might want to embargo them. I know I'll take a hit on the budget, but want to know how big a hit it will be? Anyway for me to know this other then going through every trade route individually?

Probably not much of a hit to you unless you are drawing in tariffs from said trade. It will hurt your workers though and make them poorer and lower SoL unless you establish new trades with other nations.

yeah embargos hurt your people not make it better, you can use it strategically though to limit exports for military goods.

Hover over your trade routes you have with the country you want to embargo and see what the profit is on them. You'll see the yearly rates, not weekly rates. You'll have to figure out the math but you can figure out what'll cost you financially.

But you also gotta consider that your exports you'll be cutting off from them will cause your good prices to drop over the next few weeks with the increase in supply and decrease in demand. This will probably cause a larger hit long term on you than it'll look.

What you wanna do is see what the benefit is to YOU to embargo the other nation. Will they run into a good shortage or expensive good issue? Will it cause a military expensive good or shortage? These hurt the enemy economy more than the cost it will have on you to lose out on those profits and increase your good costs, reducing your industry productivity and taxation revenue.

Thanks for the replies. It certainly is an interesting decision to make. Austria imports a ton of military goods from me and is currently in a war, but at the same time these seem like very lucrative trade routes for my people +40 etc. It would be nice if the game provided some feedback to this decision so I could understand how the decision might impact both my country and my people better.

Embargo Austria and tell 'em to get bent and just setup a few trade routes with others to offset the financial hit you'll take until you lift the embargo. You can leave the trade routes established while they are inactive so you can remember to un-embargo Austria and know which other trade routes to cancel when you do.
