Merchants

Post by Bretwalda76 »

Is there a way to prevent the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway giving merchants to UK but also conquer them as Axis? In other words somehow prevent the scripted events that give benefits to the UK? (I don't mean modding, but in game solution?)

No that is historically what happened.

E.g. there are two event that seem to be contradicting each other:

"Norwegian merchant marine couldn't escape to the UK through the German blockade of the Baltic Sea. Germany gains 7 merchant marine."

"The UK concludes a lease agreement for Norwegian tankers 20 are added to the UK merchant marine"

And there is also one (that I cannot find) that gives 38 merchants to UK.

I cannot seem to trigger the first one but I have seen it happen against me.

i get why you are saying they are contradictory

but these are two separate events

one the UK gains MM

one the Germans gain MM

both occurred in my most recent game

It's right if they both happen.
