Happy patrician day! Everything looks to be coming along great 😀. I'm really glad beneke didn't manage to yoink anything this time lol. I'll bet your rostock ships are enough to nab him, although I know you said you're hesitant. If you just load up those two ships with 1 cutlass per sailor, I'd bet money that you can steal that ship of his with no problem. Just remember to go straight for the capture so he can't shoot you, and keep your other ship close to shoot him in case you start running out of sailors. I'd bet anything you could catch him next episode. I think you hit on a really good idea with the pig iron route through reval and Stockholm. You might also want bergen on that route, and possibly Edinburgh. It'll actually help out in a lot of ways. 1) you bring pig iron to places that make iron goods, and you profit and they make more iron goods 2) you buy up all the iron goods they make with the iron and then sell that mainly to places that make skins so they can produce more 3) the places that make skins have a better stock when you go around I love the cascading chains of effects in this game, it's like a super drawn out, intricate version of chess. Oh yeah, last thing. I don't think you'll need it yet, but in my big game I have a three leg pipeline delivering goods from far east to far west and vice versa. I had a leg from Groningen to Aalborg, then to Stettin, then to reval. Helped out in keeping wine and beer flowing east and honey and skins flowing west. It was also really nice to have a few convoys constantly shuttling hoards of bricks from my factories in the west all the way up to reval when it came time to start expanding some walls. I'm up to 750 mil in that game, and over 450k occupants! I just can't bring myself to quit it. I wonder what will happen when I hit a clean billion.
Thanks again for the excellent help and advice. Planning to put this to use very soon. Try and get 1 million population. That would be a challenge and I think it is possible. Thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it.
