The only pain in this game for me is the way selling trade to the countries works. In order for the UK to avoid getting into debt it needs to sell loads of coal to other countries. Problem is there is no way to tell who will buy it. There are no countries actively looking for coal the list in the trade screens ie they only shown offers and no requests as coal is pretty common. However if you go trying to sell coal to various countries you inevitably find some that will buy the coal. But without knowing exactly which ones need it and which dont, and which ones you sold it to before it makes the whole procedure a bit of a pain. You essentially have to work down the list of countries attemping to sell them all coal one by one. This gets a bit annoying after a while as you effectively have to do it every turn.

What would make this whole process so much easier is if you had a screen showing what the approx levels of each product were in all the different countries. Then you would easily be able to see which could be sold some coal and which it would be pointless trying to sell some to.

Similarly I can never manage to get any food, goods, or arms off anyone whether by trade or aid. So at the moment as the UK I am really short of all of those things with little chance of getting enough of them to manage a proper war.

Trade really needs looking at.
