Distance Bonuses Decreased Since Latest Patch

Has anyone else noticed the trade distance bonus being seriously decreased since latest patch?  I have traveled halfway across the map and got around 125%, when I used to be around 250-300% by this point if I had traveled this amount of distance (3 days travel). Is this an intentional new feature to again limit gear quality in strategus or is this a bug?

From the near the border of EU to around the middle of NA, (I would say about Dashbiga to New Dhirim) My trade bonus is currently %358

Also the insta-350% bonus for crossing the EU-NA border seems to have been removed.

You guys should know by now that sucking Russian dick is it's own reward

Voice of experience?  Somehow I don't think it would be that enjoyable.

Let me ask you this, if it isnt enjoyable why does Occitan do it every strat?

Even when there isnt a GOBBLIN King, they simply cant stop 'GOBBLIN' that Russian D

Hmmm, excellent points.

I have easily reached 300%+ bonus within a day or two with horses, I didnt try to check if the old STB Trade Zone filter is still compatible with the new strategus round.
For various reasons (mainly re-working STB to a new degree, and helping a friend) I have to do some distance test in the next days, I will come back with the results!

I think its still valid, then I am not going anal over it and measuring all distances like some people - but the tradefilter seems ok.

Btw, for the distance tests, talk to En-dotter - he has his own little experiment going which should be helpfull :)

Thats the friend  :D

Even if trade filter is okay, it was never 100% accurate even back then. Never figured the formula so all we did was fixed points at regular intervals.
Of course if a developer comes forward and hands us the actual trade distance formula of this round, would be really appreciated!

Buy one good in like 10-15 fiefs of the map, bring them all to the same place, check bonus compared to distance, shouldnt take more
