I played eu5 as portugal up until 1512 but i noticed my trade income just absolutely fucking exploded right around when I forced Morocco to relocate its market to my provinces in Granada so i restarted intending to do that right off the bat except for some fucked to death reason when Morocco gets called into war to help Granada I can't fucking even request to steal the market from them. So i just took fez and 3/4 of the province and im the most powerful trader in the Fez market, good enough I guess

I fucked up though because I went 1300 ducats into debt to build hospitals everywhere and still couldn't afford one in Fez and then I spent like 20 ffucking years paying it off when i maybe should have just hit the bankruptcy button
