Trade Range

trade_range

Defines how far a Country can trade without extra cost. Routes within Trade Range have no additional transport penalty. Routes that exceed it remain possible, but transport costs increase with the distance beyond the range limit.

A larger Trade Range makes long-haul routes — such as colonial goods from the New World or spices from Asia — more affordable by pushing more of each route into the free zone.

Trade Range can be increased primarily through Advances, although some Laws, Privileges and Reforms may affect it too.
