Appeasement and Aggression PBEM

I can see the logic for the tariff. For example in Bonaparte III I am playing as the British. Everyone can make tidy profits sending their traders there while I would make far less money as it is my city and have to send my traders to other European destinations for less gold payout than my competitors.

I could impose a tariff to claw back some of the money but I figure that the profitability of London as a trade destination gives me a political advantage as any enemy that captures London will no longer have it as a trade destination! Well thats my crackpot theory anyway

Not sure how the trade payoffs work in this particular game though!

I believe the factors that effect trade are:
- Trade arrows for city sending trader
- Trade arrows at destination
- Distance from source
- Whether the destination city is on another continent
- Whether you are at war with the target cities nation?
- Whether the commodity is demanded
- Obviously you get more from trading with other nations!

I am also no expert on trade so if there is anything important I have missed then don't hesitate to put me straight.

Playing my turn now!

Vorschlag: Frankreich ist bereit allen Nationen freien Handel zu gewähren die ebenfalls freien Handel erlauben. ( bin in mich gegangen und wünsche, das wir ohne Cheatmodus auskommen sollten).
Seid ihr dabei?

Translation:
France is to be granted permit ready all nations free trade the also free trade. (Am in me gone and would wish, that we without Cheatmodus come out should). Is its there?

I can't make head or tails of the translation. Help please?

But I don't want my capital to be taken. Hey...wait a minute...did you just...yes! You did! You just said that my tarrif was reasonable and not just greedy! Now what was that about a 25g trade fee on ALL Russian cities?

Proposal: France is ready to grant all nations free trade, if the other Nations also allow free trade. (I am gone in me, and hope, we can play without the cheatmode).
Is that a Way?

Nee, is brauchbar . "I am gone in me" kann man so nicht sagen ... "I contemplated" wäre wohl in etwa richtig.

Lesson1:
Stadt A sendet eine Karawane nach Stadt B:
Einmalbonus = ( ( Distanz + 10 ) x ( Handel beider Städte))/24
LKW statt Karawane: +50%
Städte auf unterschiedlichen Kontinenten: +100%
Handelsgut wird gefordert von Zielstadt: +100%
Beide Städte gehören Dir: -50%
und einige andere Einflüsse
Beispiel: Berlin sendet Karawane nach London:
Entfernung=24, Handel London: 51, Handel Berlin: 35
Einmalbonus= (24+10)x(51+35))/24=34x86/24=122
122+(50%LKW+100%Kontinente+100%gefordert)=122+250%=427
in English:
Bonus = ((distance between Cities+10)x(Trade of both cities))/24
truck instead of caravan: +50%
Cities on different continents: +100%
Commodity is demanded by target City: +100%
both cities are yours: -50%
and some other influences
for example: Berlin is sending a caravan to London:
Distance: 24 : trade London: 51, trade Berlin: 35
Bonus = (24+10)x(51+35))/24=34x86/24=122
122+(50%truck+100%continents+100%demanded)=122+250%=427

Es ist absolut egal, in welche Richtung gehandelt wird.
Same result, if London sends a caravan to Berlin.

I don't mind lifting tariffs if everyone else does, I just didn't want to miss out!

@Jerec
What I meant was the fact that London is a good trade destination kind of keeps me safe as no-one wants their profitable route disrupted by war! If nations want to take advantage of the London trade route they have to play nice with me, if they piss me off I can ban their traders which will have a negative effect on their economy. Well thats what I hope anyway

Fine with me if all tariffs are lifted.

@Cobra
Excellent mathematical expression. Thank you.

The Soviet Union welcomes back the former Imperial territories of the Baltic; Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, into the Communist fold.



Next turn the port city of Memel will be garrisoned by Soviet troops. We pledge to Germany that no offensive units will be stationed there, the USSR only wants Memel as an outlet for our trade.

Nothing changed.
