Anybody ever been in a real good trade war...or spent alot of effort ruining others monopolies? I've only been involved in 1 trade war really...I was the netherlands and I beat France easily....but just wondering if anyone pays attention to economy that much.
 
Well, i especially like sneaking into full monopoly COTs of my enemies, one merchant at a time so they won't compete out my enemy's merchant:D
 
Yes, i have been in many trade wars, usually in foreign Cots. In mines i have a tendency to press the embargo country button :D

A tactic usually works is to act combined with a second allied country you have a TA with. You can clean a CoT real quick.

I personally like to rush the Enemy cot's with 6 merchants, love getting back all those pretty messages......Works a lot of the time too :D :cool:

Hehehe, yes, the Danish Russian Trade Federation versus the English Spanish Oligopoly ;).
They showed some resistance in Europe , but there was no chance for them overseas.

The Batlic Trade Empire itself was never significantly harmed at all, but we did have to fight really hard to keep Tago/Genoa, etc. Things would have become much better as we had France and the Ottoman Empire join our trading realm in the end as well. :p
