    Default How to boost sea trade ONLY?

    The title sums it up pretty well.

    Now, I know that there is the "trade_level_bonus" building effect that affects only land trade.
    Is there perhaps a similar one, but only for sea trade?

    Yes ports, merchant wharfs, the red text is the bonuses!

    Code:
    building sea_trade
    {
        levels merchants_wharf warehouse docklands 
        {
            merchants_wharf city requires factions { northern_european, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, }  and building_present_min_level port port
            {
                capability
                {
                    trade_fleet 1
                    trade_base_income_bonus bonus 3
                }
                material wooden
                construction  4 
                cost  4000 
                settlement_min city
                upgrades
                {
                    warehouse
                }
            }
    The export_descr_buildings.txt controls most of the bonuses for buildings.

    The trade_base_income_bonus boosts both sea, and land trade.

    Thanks. Now, I read somewhere here on the forums that the max number of trade fleets you can give to a building is 3.
    Is that true, or you can give more?

    Just to answer to my own question (partially): 3 sea trade routs is not the limit. I managed to get 4 for Venice, and I guess more is doable.

    However, I believe the issue is that certain settlements can`t establish sea routes between each other.
    Now, can anyone confirm that?
