Does building that road make sense? It seems like using a sea route to connect these two locations would be faster than constructing a gravel road over hills and mountains.

sea routes already exists, and can only be marginally upgraded with some ports buildings, or better advances.

Great TT.

Only one question, as a country with lot of forrests, would expanding/building lumber mills get us some economic boost in early game, and easier/cheaper access to lumber building material?

yes, as the economy is traditional so better rgo output.

however, scandinavia is swimming in lumber, so prices are low on the lumber...

Will a new market get created separated from Lübeck or will Lübeck market changed name into Oslo or something if Norway managed to have a strong trade power? What will happen to other countries in the Lübeck market? Will they get angry and envious at Norway's market and want to fight or embargo Norway?


Please tell us the story of this guy

You'd have to make your own market in Oslo

What's the silver used for, actually? Minting and jewelry and such? And if minting, does it mean that it costs money to make money?

Silver is used by minting, and creating jewelry.

No, it wont cost money to make money.

Could this list show the burgher population in brackets next to total population or something? So you can see your concentrations of urban population at a glance

in theory yes.

Question: you mention building wharves wherever possible. One of my least favourite things in EU4 is that moment you gotta spam courthouses/factories. This has even more locations. Has anything been done to make this less of a painful task? Perhaps some sort of ‘build in top 10 locations’ button?

well, you only have 6 towns as Norway, and 1 of them is inland, so well..

there are automation systems for buildings though if you don't want to care.

 

[Johan]

Can you connect each location by roads or roads work like monuments in eu4?

you build a road between 2 locations in the road builder
