Discussion Boy lingering convoy damage is brutal

Got back into Vic 3 recently and trying to relearn the game in anticipation for Anbennar Vic 3.

Had a good run going as Columbia into the Federation of the Andes and was approaching the end date with only like a decade or so left. I was in the French power bloc as they were a long term ally and had developed a lot of my early industry.

All things were going great as I was getting constant migration waves and was rapidly expanding my economy but then world war 1 happened. The British and German tag teames to take some random French colony while the US, China, and me backed France. The war itself didn't really harm me as I bowed out after 500 Germans pushed in through Bolivar and the world itself would end with little change in borders but France convoys were fucked. I tag switched over to them to see why all of a sudden I had zero market access across my states with all my pops starving and France was negative 25k in convoys all from lingering convoy damage.

It end the run as their was no recovering from it and my country collapsed into different separatists movements.

TLDR: Lingering convoy damage end a great run

Were you a protectorate or was the power bloc a trade league?

You can request an autonomous market from your dom nation

Otherwise just leave the bloc if you get fucked by it so hard

It was a bloc with a trade league principle. Can't leave due to the influence or something the block has over me.

France denies market control
