Feedback/FAQ
Pretty self-explanatory...
Please, if you have any inthoughts or found any issues do not hesitate to write them "out loud".

FAQ:

1. Why there are no coastal trade routes?
Simply for visual reasons. There are those which are a must for islands to connect to mainland. Others would mess up your view and since there is no "route riding" or "port blocking" mechanics its pointless to implement them.

2. Why trade routes show on economy map?
It is hardcoded in game and can't be changed. Vanilla routes (Silk and Saharan) show on both trade and economy maps as well.

3. Why do I see trade routes on main menu map when I quit to menu from trade zones map view?
It is not mod issue. Most likely it's hardcoded. You can see Silk Road as well.

4. Why some land trade posts show on map and others don't?
It is not mod issue. Most likely it's ck2 issue and there's nothing to be done about it. You can see land trade posts indicators in Asia Minor and Thrace for example and you don't in Europe. This mod does not change any visual stuff apart from trade arrows. Perhaps it's even better this way as Europe would get a bit messy with TP indicators showing on every map mode.

5. Haven't you missed some trade connection points on the map?
These aren't connection points but trade route starting points. They can't be at every junction due to game crashing issues. They were removed in v.1.5 because of that. Other than that I haven't seen any impact on trade routes themselves and I would love to implement them for strictly visual reasons - unfortunately that's not going to happen.

6. Why is everything messed up on the tradezones and economy maps? It's like gazillion lines going every direction and out of the map?!
You don't use Historical Immersion Project Mod map thus trade routes go through non existant (off-map) provinces, then come back to an existant ones and so on. Use HIP and everything's going to work like a charm.

7. Why don't I see some trade posts on map when they definately exist in a province?
This is a HIP mod issue with placement of secondary holdings. These trade posts exist and work fine it's just their placement on the map that's not correct - a similar issue exist in vanilla game where fine example of such issue is a province of Sandomierz which trade post appear in Lublin (a province to the east).
