You're only supposed to build Trade Posts on the Silk Road or coasts. Previously landlocked provinces didn't even have a trade post tab, but I guess the SR or maybe Fort features meant that had to change. I guess they forgot to update the code in this regard.

Yeah trade posts are part of the new fort tab so every province has it now regardless.

Personally I don't see why landed trade posts don't work...merchants operate on land too lol

It's because what the "rebublic" government system aims to portray is explicitely the kind of medival merchant states such as Genoa, Venice, or the Hansa, who were all naval based. That there are "merchants on land too" is irrelevant.

Though we've now got a more formal division between "republic" and "merchant republic". If one of the screenshots I saw was vanilla, the former even has special picture rings.

Noticed this. Novgorod in the later starts is listed as "Republic" instead of "Merchant Republic"
No idea whats different though.

BFEL, uninstall the game and delete all folders left over. The game itself is pretty small, so it shouldn't be much bother.

This worked by the way. My first Nomad game ended already though, due to being ASSassinated.

Also moderately annoyed that all the places that get access to the Silk Road are places I don't play >.<

You could try the trade ++ which adds longer trade routes, and a few new ones.

I'm the happiest cuckold in Lombardy. I caugth my first wife cheating on me so I ask for a divorce. Then I married a genius girl who gave me 4 children for now : 2 genius boy, a genius girl and an attractive girl. Three times I've suspected that the child wasn't from me but I've never pushed the matter. Who cares about blood when you can have geniuses?

I have now mended the Great Schism, converting most of Europe to Orthodoxy. Wales and Ireland have been fully conquered, their last counties taken from Castille and the twitching remains of England.

My goal of rebuilding the Roman empire may be thwarted by the heaving bulk of the Holy Roman Empire, as it possesses several counties I need to complete the Roman duchies.

Otherwise the only threat to me is the Aztecs, with their 50000 event troops waiting in the wings to defend their stolen land in England. I still plan to try and fight them for England, but I may need to be cunning about it.

Successions transfer between unrelated nobles of the realm at, and I quote, "random" and they don't build trade posts. I haven't looked into the mechanic very closely, but republics may well be incredibly dangerous due to the lack of scheming relatives and titles persisting without blood ties.

I did create the Roman Empire as a republic!
It totally worked, used normal patrician elective and such. Was still call an empire though. And changing my capital to Rome by decision ruined it 
because everyone knows Rome is the world's most famous city castle

I'd be very interested to know why I still have the Duchy of Sicily after surrendering to the Sheikh of Malta. The Sheikh of Malta only got the county titles when I surrendered to him.

Not that it mattered for long, since he usurped the title, but I'd still like to know why he didn't have it in the first place.

For the record, I think if you did that as of Horse Lords it would work like you intended, as holding type does not override character type now.

It's possible he had fabricated/ shopped for claims on all your counties, then declared war for all of them at once.

Actually holy wars only seem to target counties.  When I was holy-warring for the byzantine empire, I had to usurp each duchy after I won it.  If I didn't get all the counties (because of 3rd parties holding them) I don't think I *could* usurp because of the religious difference, you have to own 100% in that case.
