Medieval Trade Routes (HIP 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 Historical Immersion Project Mod map and is fully compatible with it.
It is NOT compatible with vanilla or any other map aside for one provided by HIP mod.

You won’t get achievements using this mod as it works with HIP only and, well, it’s a major overhaul.
– no more sea tiles trade routes clutter as sea zones don’t matter in CK2;
– made southern Europe trade routes partialy originate in Africa thus African coastal provinces have actual impact on southern Europe’s economy;
– added new trade post centers in: Tunis (Africa – italian route), Oran & Algiers (Africa – spanish route), Barca (Africa – asia minor route), Herakleion (asia minor route), Leinster & Dyfed (english route);
– slightly lowered trade routes values accross Europe;
– evened up trade routes bonuses accross Europe;
– some visual improvements.
– finally resolved an issue with Merchant Republics not being able to build trade post buildings with "trade post buildings turned off" rule activated ( jonjowett thx for your assistance );
If u find any issues please give me a feedback – they will be resolved asap.
Please note that this mod doesn’t in any way adjust vanilla added Silk or Subsaharan trade routes so any issues related to them are not caused by this mod.
