Ship view window

Ship List - it is a view on ships and the courses that they take, including the time of arrival and the destination.

Mark the city

To start a course, you need to select a city. On the right, there are names Provides and demands. Select I such a way, so as to make the difference in prices between the goods that you sell, and buy in another city, to be as high as possible. Most of the times, the better offers require a long and/or difficult journey - that is why you need to take the options that entail less risk, into consideration, because you may lose some of the cargo to pirates, or the duration of the journey may be longer, due to a storm.

Select the ware and the amount

Select the goods that you want to purchase in a city. The "per item" price is the price for a single batch of the goods. Depending on the capacity, and the money that you own, you can buy up to 150 units of the goods, at a time (if you have a galleon).

Select the destination

Finally, select the destination place for the cruise.

Confirm the transport order- you cannot cancel it once confirmed

Confirm in the course window, which includes the predicted amount of money that you will earn and the probability of random events. Over longer cruises, random events may occur several times - even one after another.

Random events:

Storm - 30% of probability that the voyage will be longer by +15

Pirates - 30% of probability that you will lose 10-40 pieces of your goods, depending on the amount, regardless of the type.

Hurricane - 30% of probability that the voyage will be longer by +30

Additional hints:

• At the beginning, it is better to invest your money into the cheapest galleons, because times to reach destinations are short and the capacity is sufficient.
• In one harbor, there can be 4 ships docked, at most.
• As you progress, the prices on goods will change and you will be able to sail to other cities. This is when it is a good idea to invest in better ships.
• Remember not to spend all of the money that you have earned immediately, before you attain financial stability - i.e. when the income is higher than the costs of buying a more goods, after you have taken the possibility of losing cargo into consideration.
• In the beginning, tobacco and cotton are whet is the most profitable. Later on, it is spices and iron.
