Description
# MTR - Medieval Trade Routes for Vanilla Map

Ever wondered why the trade ends at Middle East and North Africa? Wonder no more. It is known...
Well actually its not. I have no idea either. Was there no trade in Europe in Middle Ages at all?
Yes there was and pretty fruitful as well. So if you were ever frustrated Paradox was to lazy to implement its own trade mechanics to entire map - frustrate no more. This mod is an answer to your prayers for a better trade networks. That is of course if you ever prayed for them.

This mod adds trade routes as well as trade posts in certain provinces to Europe which are based on historical medieval ones. It is intended to work with Vanilla Map and is fully compatible with it.

This mod requires either: Horse Lords or Jade Dragon DLC to work.

It is NOT compatible with any other map aside for one provided by Crusader Kings 2 game.


Please - even if you use Steam app - download this mod from NexusMods page so I can contribute from my own work. Link at the bottom.

# FEATURING
  • 7 new trade routes across Europe;
  • 1 new trade route in Asia Minor;
  • carefully balanced trade routes wealth and wealth increase using designed equations that take into consideration: total number of trade posts, start points and unique provinces trade route passess through;
  • 129 new trade posts locations;
  • less irritating thin trade arrows also showing trade flow direction;
  • no more sea tiles trade routes clutter as sea zones don't matter in CK2;
  • adjusted vanilla oversized trade posts;
  • option to disable trade post buildings for non-merchant republics (feudal, tribal and theocracy able to build just Trade Posts);

Reworked multiple numbers and added option to allow "resource specific buildings" for everyone - recommended option.

@august_ekstrom: Same thing as with the ones below. Thx for the kind word. "Trade routes" and "scripted triggers" are the only files that make a valid tradepost province. If you get rid of a zipped file you either get rid of a mod or make steam download the missing file.

@jonjowett: Same thing as with IcyVOid. You can use the arrows.
DonJulan  [author] Jun 21, 2024 @ 1:53am 
@IcyVOid: I'm sorry for such a late response but for whatever reason Steam did not show the green notifying icon. If you want to rework my mod for your own purposes and don't publish it I don't see any reason not to allow it. :)

Sent this on the cleanslate version but im putting it here as well. Is it fine if I make a version of this compatible with tianxia?

Hi, I love your mod - best one out there! Q: What am I missing in order to add a couple of trade posts? After unzipping the file, adding them to the scripted_triggers.txt and at the top of the file in relevant trade route like italian_vanilla.text? and then getting rid of the zipped file?

@DonJulan I responded to your comment on my mod page, not sure if you saw it. In short: Too many mods, too little time, I'm a coder not an artist.

---

Different subject, but strangely similar theme: Do you have a mod which ONLY has the arrows on trade routes? (IE: Graphical improvement only, no change in checksum.)

If not, do you mind if I pull the requisite parts out of MTR and upload it on the workshop (with credit)? (I'm not an artist! And your arrows already look really good!)

(Background: I've recently joined a long-term mp game on the ATEFF map. The directions of the trade routes are sometimes very non-obvious with base game graphics, and I think the others might also appreciate a better solution.)

@jonjowett: find a nice picture for your mod ;)

@Isgud: Thx for appreciation. I know what amber is (basically crystallised tree sap) and I just realised I may have in fact named a building "amber mine". What I actually meant was, believe you me, "micro industrialised negligible excavation" aka "mine". ;)

@DonJulan After all this time I realised I had forgotten to publish the Trade Post Automation mod which I made specifically to integrate MTR with my single-player games. Feel free to check it out if you have a chance - any feedback is very welcome! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3232897989
