Wait... when is my TP on Sulawesi going to be there as then IP should have 12, and thus 6 EPs worth
On another note, I think the trade values of Europe are over-powered. The combined EC worth of NWE (12) MED (13) and CE (4), or 29 out of 80 total EPs is too great, around 36% of the world's combined trade "wealth."
I feel that Europe may have been ah... more blessed with TCs than the rest of the world because the origin of the NES was to be one more based on Europe as opposed to the rest of the world.
What are the cities of Paris, Madrid, London, Vienna, Berlin, Barcelona, Lisbon, and the other ECs of Europe compared to the cites of the Orient? Great Asian cities, despite more wealth and greater trade, are not adequetly compared to the "ECs" of Europe. Traditionally in NESing, there have usually been more TCs in Europe than elsewhere.
For example, Guangzhou and Split are both ECs and thus under the current rules have the same wealth production status of +1 EP. But is it really equal to compare their respective wealths?

There are simply too little TCs in Asia compared to Europe. "Cities" in Asia, with more population and wealth then their European counterparts are not shown as either cities or TCs at all.
Also, just because a nation has a TP in an area shouldn't necessarily mean they get all the wealth of the area to be added. Also, what would be the point of creating TCs if they benefit everyone who has a TP in the region? They should provide some direct benefit to the nation that control them as well.
For example, let's say Khmeria established a trade post in northern Egypt in the MED region. That doesn't mean we should automatically gain all the trade wealth of the region as implied in the proposed rules. I mean, a nation could have ONE TP in every single region so to speak and would gain the benefits of EVERY SINGLE region in the world. A nation who concentrates on a few regions would thus be at a disadvantage compared to a nation who's everyone despite the historical trends. Something should be done to ensure that nations with a bigger slice of the cake of a region should get more than someone who just has one TP
