Description:

Adjusted Trade routes to better steer into more potential capital placement, rather than always to a few "best locations" (London, Venice, Genua etc.) Now Germany is the only end trade node, inland trade nodes in Europe is also gone.

For example, Ottomans can now access the atlantic trade (Sevilla->Alexandria->Constantinople).
Or you can collect all of italy from the same node!
Germany was chosen as the end node because I think it’s the hardest to "dominate" due to HRE.

I’ve also removed & simplyfied some trade nodes and trade routes that I didn’t feel added anything to the game (less is more), this also have the added benefits of increasing performance slightly.

My aim with these changes was to make a more "dynamic" flow of trade and open up more options to steer trade into new directions & capitals.
I also hope these changes means that the trade war should be more about the amount of trade power you have rather than were you collect your trade.
