Yep, sphering/conquering countries that provide what your pop/industries need is a good (winning) strat. Nope, when i was saying selling, i refered to direct sell, aka selling the stored stuff to the whole world. If you are in a sphere.as GP you no more have internal market, its all common market.as secondary you keep 50% internal, rest is common.as civ, only 25% as internal.as unciv, nothing.Īnd, yeah, this trade window is quite confusing, and, in my opinion really need an overhaul. Internal market is your market when you are not in any sphere.

If you set to sell stuff from stockpile, you will try to sell the max amount possible everyday, not only what your pop need.remember, you are the ruler, your pop are your pop.different entities thats what differenciate Victoria from most other sim games where you are some sort of god that is both the ruler and the populace.

Sure, you can buy stuff, stockpile it and allow your pop to buy from your stockpile.doesnt really serve any purpose as your pop could just as well buy what they need themselves.if your country has enough prestige to buy, then your pop has the same prestige.Ĭan eventually help in case of a shortage but 2000 units (the max) will go so fast its not really worth it. Mostly, stockpile should be used to store military and some industrial/raw material goods.check what are the government needs and only store those.That allows you to build armies, ships, railroads, factories faster if you have the needed stuff stored. Stockpile is your (the government) stock, industry/pop need are, well.private. Now, stockpile shouldnt be used to provide materials for your industries. With stockpile slider at 20%, you will buy 100 a day (20%) up to 500. Providing there is enough available, with stockpile slider set at 100%, you will buy the 500 in one go.

If you set trade to manual and set buying to 500, you will only buy 500. I advise you to always deal with the trade stuff with game paused. You probably did a mistake or did it at high speed or with autotrade on while moving slider. Could it be the other countries in my sphere of influence taking up my cotton? If so, how do I check what other countries in my sphere need and are using out of my stockpile? My tariffs are at 25% None of my other industries are using cotton. Why are 50 units of cotton leaving per day? Shouldn’t only 7.2 be leaving per day? Is it my artisans? They need like 40/day I do not have a large navy so I don’t see a ton of maintenance taking away cotton/fabric. Then when I release my stockpile to the common market (or allow my POPs to buy in the national stockpile) it leaves at like -50.1 units per day…to the common market. My question, cotton is not coming into my factory, I need 7.2/day for my factory and 0 for my POPs, so I check off automatic, set the maximum stockpile slider to buy at like 500, and the computer keeps buying until it hits 1.7-2.1 thousand… why does it do that? Shouldn’t it stop at 500? I currently have a few small countries in my sphere of influence. Currently, my country/colonies are not producing cotton so I am in the process of creating spheres of influence to go after this cotton. I am playing The Netherlands, just took over Belgium and a factory in their country was producing Fabric and thus needs cotton.

That stated, I am very confused on how to set manual trades.Let me give you an example. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand the game concepts and I have been reading these forms so I have a decent grasp of the game. I am playing Victoria II not AHD I have to say it is very addicting and challenging at the same time. So this is the first time I played this type of game.
