Trade Route Raided

[ceff7711]

What is the easiest way to determine which route is being raided? I've looked and cannot figure it out.
Thanks

You can see which route's being raided by looking at the 'Trade' tab of the 'Government' window, but there's no easy way to trace the raid back to its source, ie locate the offending fleet on the campaign map.

I believe all trade routes go from capital to capital, however, so it's not that difficult to track down - just follow the lines from your capital region's trading ports until you find the raiding party.

I think the game also gives you a prompt the first turn you get raided, and that'll automatically zoom you to the location.

This.
And also look at the colour of your trade lanes. The red ones are those raided.

No, the red ones are enemy trade lines.

Your trade can also get raided on land aswell as at sea, have a look at the main roads that your land trade moves across.
I was supprised after i had seen how much of my trade money was being transported by land aswell as the sea, all it takes is an enemy army to your nation that is nutral and has access to the trade nation's land to sit on the road and swipe your money.
You're looking for a fleet but it could be an army.

Ah yes good point, I always forget to check land based road trade blocking as you don't get any pop-ups. The only reason I noticed is that by moving my own army around and landing on an enemy road it mentioned something about raiding.

Sometimes, there's nothing you can do about it unfortunately. I had a good trade agreement going with Prussia, and then their port said it was being blockaded - this went on for ages. So, I sent a small fleet over to have a look and their port is damaged - they haven't bothered repairing it! In cases like that, it's best to find a new trade partner.

1800 up!

Edit: To find out why a trade route has stopped providing income, you need to identify the route that's showing you're getting 0 income. Follow it until it leads to a port, whereby you'll either find it damaged/occupied or there will be a fleet blockading it. If it's an enemy of yours, you know what to do! If not, is your trade agreement worth going to war over? Wars have been started for less...

I (united Prov.) had Courland blocking london (my trade partner) so i missed out on 5k trade income. They had to suffer and be whiped out...
