    Default Foreign merchants

    I was playing as the byzantines and to the east, there is this one silk resource which produced about 150 florins to my merchant, but to the foreign merchants, that seems to conquer my assets every time, it produces a staggering 500 - 1400 florins, even though the foreign merchants has no more skill than my merchant.

    Hows that possible....

    The farther away a resource is, the more valuable it is to you. So if the silk resource is close to your territory you ain't going to make much cash.

    You also get a little income from the presence of merchants in your territories from factions you have trade agreements with. I'd move your merchants to Syria for spices and sugar and let your allies camp on the local resources.
