Can we Spawn Global Trade as Zimbabwe? Eu4 1.36

Hello my fellow Chairs, today we attempt to spawn Global Trade in the Cape of Good Hope as Mutapa. Early on in the campaign we are going to have to deal with the technologically superior kingdom of Kilwa first and from there, restore the once great Zimbabwe empire all while attempting to make the Cape the most valuable Trade node in the game.

What trade node do you want me to cover in the America's after Gujurat next week?

[@michaeltomasicchio6895]

The Caribbean? It’s probably one of the easier ones, but it would be cool to see you start as an island and go from there.

[@tech_splitter]

here's an idea. colonize america(s) as Gujarat

[@thechairmangames]

Maybe I should up the ante and become a pirate republic

[@thechairmangames]

@tech_splitter I don't think any American trade goes that way though 🤔

[@okdokie123]

Form america and then do capitalism baby

[@VivaChandles]

You were on the right path with looking at the upstream nodes. You got the whole Great Lakes node but left the Kongo node alone. Aggressively TC’ing Ethiopia and Gulf of Aden could’ve given you two extra merchants along with trade power there. And if all that wasn’t enough, TC’ing and pushing from Coromandel and Malacca should definitely be enough to spawn Global Trade

[@thechairmangames]

I forgot I should have TC'd some areas the modifiers it gives is sooo good

[@veez4117]

i remember i subed to you when you only got around 100 subs and now you gave 4k great job

[@thechairmangames]

Thank you! I remember you early on with one of Taungu videos. I really appreciate the support 🙏

[@JensOdense]

You should do a run as Kilwa for this challenge. They also get a colony in cape and can go to indonesia early.

[@thechairmangames]

That's what I'm kinda thinking when we get to Zanzibar trade node. I'm going all in on colonizing stuff

[@michaeltomasicchio6895]

I feel like you could have tried to make more of a push and conquer the Congo region and the Horn of Africa. That’s a lot of land that you could have been building buildings in and developing to feed more money into your trade network.

[@thechairmangames]

Yeah I kinda started thinking against Kongo and started to build up my navy and tried sniping the Indian trade as much as possible which really wasn't worth it

[@entire9694]

Next time you need as much power in Ivory Coast / Congo as you can to get ~100% trade power in the cape. This makes the cape a pseudo end note, which maximizes value and how much you can collect. Also extra merchant etc

[@thechairmangames]

It also prevents money from leaving downstream too

[@franzjoseph4218]

global trade polynesian triangle

[@thechairmangames]

You just wanna see me suffer lmao 🤣

[@teddys5775]

Zimbabwe the Jewish horde was one of my favorite games

[@thechairmangames]

That sounds like a ton of fun!

[@IronWolf123]

If only you had the prospering times event give you the bonus in the CoGH

[@thechairmangames]

One could only "Hope" (ba dum tsss)

[@andromodous]

Maaan i played as ming once and england beat my trade node by 10 i had 105 they had 115 and i couldnt spawn it :(

[@thechairmangames]

That is consistently what I face every time I do this challenge is competing with those darn Brits

[@samwill7259]

Damn I bet their kleptocratic dictators would love that kind of trade these days Shame the kleptocratic dictatorship tends to scare off investors.

[@RDA000]

Looks like you got pretty screwed on rulers this run

[@marcoceruti1632]

Yeah, such a crappy mana generation at the beginning halted your progress to reinessaince. I think you should disinherit the heir next time and raise a praise to the rngod.

[@bolivia_ihatethisyoutubeupdate]

Zimbabwe? Did you mean Occupied Rhodesia?

[@Tiggerbonnano]

Lol it’s Zimbabwe now, maybe the ethnostate shoulda learned about fuel supply storage.

[@gottkroprinz7859]

Forgot that the HOI and EU communities are equally racist

[@bolivia_ihatethisyoutubeupdate]

@@gottkroprinz7859 i don't play HOI
