This is a sub-reddit for Europa Universalis IV. It is a general subreddit for the Grand Strategy Game from Paradox Interactive: Our Discord Address is: How do people make so much money?

The Escapist : Forums : Gaming Discussion : Getting started with EU IV

I've built giant sprawling empires like everyone else, but every time I've been paying so much for army and navy maintenance that I can hardly make any money, so I just don't get how people do it. Joking aside, the key to have disposable income is securing profitable trade nodes. Try to get full control of Zanzibar and the Cape, collect in Zanzibar and then start conquering India and steer the resulting trade into Zanzibar.

It will soon be worth 40 ducats or so, and that's only the start. Similar things go for other parts of the world, in China Beijing is great, India you'll probably try to get Bengal. You may also have a propensity to increasing autonomy, which is not a great idea unless the province is overseas where you barely get anything anyways. In your home continent, unless the rebels will be super annoying like anywhere you can only get with transports , I would recommend lowering authority instead after conquest.

In addition to everything other people have said already, taking lots of money in peace deals is surprisingly effective, particularly in the early game. Inflation may become an issue but generally you can ignore it. Of course if you just smashed Spain and have the spare warscore, definitely better to go for the reps.

Having a lot of land helps, but not all land is created equal.

A lot of areas are simply better than others. If you can extend your empire into China, India, or Western Europe, you'll make a lot of money. If playing as an Asian nation, colonizing the spice islands can be a pretty big tax boom. You also don't need to have an incredible knowledge of trade, but making sure you're using your merchants and trade buildings effectively helps, as long as you're making sure your trade capital is in a good node.

Trade can make more money than taxation and production put together, but you need a long chain of nodes feeding into Genoa or English Channel, and obviously you need pretty much complete control of that nodes and all the ones feeding into it.

That's not to say you can't make lots of money of taxation and production, in fact for a large part of the game that's your primary income. Tax and production buildings are an investment that usually pays itself off fairly quickly.

Build temples in the huge base tax provinces, and production in the ones that have the highest value trade goods.

Silk, dyes, sugar, and cocoa are the best trade goods in the game and you should always put the production buildings on these provinces. Cloth is also really good and its the best trade good in Europe.

India has by far the best trade goods, with China close behind thanks to it's huge silk provinces.

For me it's just building temples in just about every province. When you get them universities are even better than temples and of course upgrade temples to cathedrals when you can. Also if you are empire building I tend to use the economic map mode when selecting provinces to conquer.

If you can afford the monarch points then always try to take the most developed provinces.

How do you guys/gals make so much money from trade? : eu4
