As the title says what’s the trick with maximising profit from nodes? For example I’ve got 4 full stacks of merchant ships, 1 in each trade theatre as shown above. Is that the best way or shall I keep trying to fill every node with more ships?

This mod really upgraded the vanilla from a 10/10 experience upto 100/100 there are so many new units,they made the flags more accurate graphics improvements, bug fixes,and improvements to the ai to play more well they revamped the whole game to a new one,they also made it historically accurate, they increased the unit sizes from standard 180 to 200 troops to 240 to 350 (note it becomes laggy when multiple unit are in melee) , and added 4600+ units with different varieties and specialities. The sounds are also so satisfying to hear , they also added Napoleoonic units to the game so you wouldn't get bored in the late game. While the game has so many pros there are also cons

Loading time is long and sometimes very long

And as you know there are bugs from the vanilla version that aren't fixed in this mode it's also prone to crash and it can be very laggy,my midrange phone tecno camon 30 premier struggles with it a little bit

But I know it's optimized to other high end devices and some mid range. The artilleries are very OP can kill half the units soldiers with a great hit

If your phone can't handle it there's a more uptimized very with the rehaul of the mod named: Empire II reimagined.

Try the mod I guarantee you'll be addicted

By the grace of Sultan Mustafa II of the Ottoman Empire, I, Sultan Mehmed I, Bey of Beys, ascended the throne of the Three Regencies, Tunis, Algiers and Tripoli in the summer of 1700.

The Barbary States, as the infidels call my property, have little to offer in terms of agriculture or industry. Or towns. Or any other notable resources to mention.

We are a seaborne people, and we … sail under the black flag, that is. An Ottoman Protectorate doing piracy against the infidels for the Sublime Port.

So in the summer of 1700 I told my diwan that one should do what one’s best at. And we happen to be the best at pirating.

To the east, our brethren and former overlord, the Ottoman Empire. To the West, our neighbours Morocco facing Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. We have every reason to nurture our good relationship with them, primarily because we have no army whatsoever.

And my slaves in the three elayets, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, don’t make as disciplined soldiers as the infidels do. Furthermore, our people are dumb, we are not into the art of cannon casting or shipbuilding beyond xebecs. We cannot build those 5th rate frigates that can capture a dozen ships and sail off ready for the next engagement.

But we HAD three of those beasts already.

Amir-al-bahr Abdulaziz’ Nizamieh, near Surt, Tripolitania; Amir-al-bahr Osmani’s Tursun Osman, between Tunis and Valletta; and Amir-al-bahr Al-Suri’s Hignau Mustafa north of Tunis.

It was well known that only four other 5th-rates were sailing in the Mediterranean at the time.

Amir-al-bahr Gerakiris’ flagship of the Ottoman Empire, accompanied by a couple of galleys in the Aegean.

Admiral Malfatti’s San Michele Arcangelo, the flagship of the Venetian Republic with a 6th-rate frigate, the Valor Coronato, and a brig, east of Ravenna.

Admiral Scarpa’s Giove, the flagship of the Genoan Republic, with a sloop near Porto Maurizio.

Admiral Torricelli’s Dolphin, the flagship of the Knights of St John, leading two 6th rates, the Valiant and the Leopard, and a brig.

Beyond that naval setup, Venice had three light galleys near Morea, France a brig and sloop near Marseille, and Spain had a fleet this side of Gibraltar, Admiral de Castaneta’s galleon supported by a brig.

The plan was clear: three Amir-al-bahrs against three Admirals. Abdulaziz sailed off to give battle to Torricelli, Osmani engaged Malfatti in the Adriatic, and Al-Suri hit Scarpa near Porto Maurizio. All three battles succeeded in killing the enemy admirals, and capturing all ships.

The frigates have been kept in service, lesser ships sold off. The now six Barbary frigates headed for Surt, the Shipyards of Oran and Safaqis being demolished to make room for trading ports instead.

We then started to build up our own diplomacy. All the infidels, who call themselves Christians, were at war with us. We made trade agreements with our land neighbours, as well as the Mughal Empire and Persia via Surt. So relying on the fat prize money income if the season, I made peace with Spain. It took 4800, but then we can now be safer about our trade routes which run through the Strait of Gibraltar. We burnt up Valencia before we did, but once they repair it we can do a Trade Agreement as well. We are reasonable maritime entrepreneurs.

The future definitely lies behind the Strait. We now rule the Mediterranean. The three new frigates will stay to guard it, the three original Amir-al-Bahrs will sail off and see what else we can grab.

Once thing is four sure: after a summer, we now have six of the world’s twenty 5th rates. Which means there are fourteen more out there and nobody has the ability to build more.

Put it down, scribe, I want to be known as Mehmed the Collector. Sultan of the Seven Seas.
