I believe the only way to be sure is to check each region for the "Governor's Palace" culture building. If you can't see this due to fog of war, you can't really be sure. Be aware that the province capital isn't fixed. As long as you control more than half of the provinces in the region yo...

It can seem beneficial to build resource-using buildings away from regions producing those resources, but the trade only really goes for the value of trade good, which are only like 4-9 gold per turn. It's never really a huge amount of money to make, especially when you only make half the value when...

My advice would be to control the province and focus on one region at at time. Have enough pops in each region on food to avoid starvation, and then put everyone else on infrastructure. Then only build one building in one region at a time. Something for food or infrastructure. Owning the whole provi...

I think the best strategy would just be to know how it works, from reading the manual. Basically, trade only happens when a building requires a resource that isn't already present in that region. Every resource has a fixed base cost and every region has a trade range that it can trade the resources ...

Heya thanks for the reply! I had no idea about this mechanism that doesn't seem mentioned in the manual but if existing would indeed make the concept a lot more understandable. Where did you see this value? On the region viewer (where you see all the buildings and pops and such), one of the circles...

I believe it's a running average of your culture from the last 25 turns that's tallied against your decadence score. Also, note that decadence in a province does sort of level off after a while. Decadence accumulates in provinces, and 1/10th of the value is wiped away automatically each turn. So eve...
