Other home ports

Hi,



First things first, I adore the mod. Been playing it a long long time. Its like my comfort food of games!



I had a thought earlier and I don't know if it's been discussed before (apologies if it has) but would it be possible to put the ports of the other home nations as potential trading partners with different prices and taxes?



For example, if I play as the Dutch but I can travel to La Rochelle to trade with the French King. Is this even a possibility or would the need to run multiple economies at once be too much for the game?

Technically possible. The issue is however that the code assumes one colonial+king player pair. Having multiple colonial players allowed to trade in the same port and let each colonial player trade with multiple kings will violate that assumption. I have no idea how much work it will be to clean up the code to not rely on such an assumption. This means I have no idea if it is practically doable within reasonable effort. I fear the workload could be problematic when you consider what else can be made with the same work effort.

I completely understand. Thank you for responding so quickly
