The trade routes are interesting in the way they work. Additionally, you can set the warehouse to buy that good from the town.Įdit: That town with the 4 red, on the trade route set up you can increase that town's priority for that good. On one of the warehouse tabs, you can click checkboxes next to all the goods you want to trade or sell to the town.

I find the traderoutes very buggy, often find my ship getting full and checking the town it last went to and being 4 red on items the ship has lots of. Now what I do is I have the convoys load it all into a warehouse in the capital, and have the warehouse sell to the city based on the priceĬan you actually auto-sell from the warehouse? Last stop is Maracaibo, and I have it set to SELL, 5 star priority, quantity at 5 squares, and price is Whatever.ĭoing this I oversell, but since it was my first game and I was just learning it didn't matter. Originally posted by Rabid Puma:I set my trade route for commodities thus:Įverything OFF in Seville except Cotton. Auto Trade Routes should come after you get the colonial commodity productions established. Forget Auto Trade Routes at the start of the Game, start buying whatever colonial commodities that are being produced by AI owned businesses in nearby towns, and then start building your own Businesses with the profits. In order to finish the Spanish Campaign you are going to have to build and own even more businesses than that, so why wait?īUILD 4 Cotton and 4 Tobacco Businesses in Seville, and 4 Coffee and 4 Cacao Businesses in Puerto Cabezas. You have Tasks that will eventually REQUIRE you to own those 4 Businesses in each colonial commodity, so do it quickly (instead of waiting) at the start of the Spanish Campaign Game, and start getting the Experience Points and cash profits as soon as possible. I was generating a Fame Point (in the Spanish Campaign in the Beta) about every 2 months by doing random tasks as well as the colonial commodity deliveries. You "just" need 4 owned businesses of each colonial commodity (cotton, tobacco, coffee, and cacao), and then start delivering the production to Maracaibo. Since you need a lot of Fame Points, make a point of maxing out the demand for colonial commodities by the Viceroy EVERY month.

I sold 3500 to 4000 total units of colonial goods to Maracaibo EVERY Month for over a game year (in the Beta) and made a good profit doing so ( profit of 150k to 200k per month), by using manual control of the convoys delivering the colonial commodities, AND I got 100 Experience Points (towards Fame Points) every month from the Viceroy. To get the best prices at Maracaibo for colonial commodities, including Coffee and Cacao, you want to use manual control of the convoys so that they wait to sell when the prices are good (high), which happens after the 2 Spanish Treasure Fleets leave (they always arrive around the 8th day of the month). Take the Coffee and Cacao directly to Maracaibo, Seville is a LOT farther away from Maracaibo than Puerto Cabezas, just have the ships going from Seville to Maracaibo stop at Puerto Cabezas on the way to Maracaibo.
