If a trade route that used to be profitable is suddenly in the negatives (it does happen), that means you need to amend your route. Check your trade totals in your diary, it shows you how much profit you are making. Or you could just tobacco off until it picks up again but I'm just weird like that.Ĩ. When that stops being profitable I buy for 800 and sell for 850. What I do is adjust the buy and sell amounts so, for example:Įarly in the game I buy tobacco for 700-750 and sell for 900-950. My early tobacco route gets a little stagnant later on so I'm usually stuck with tons of tobacco and no buyers. It goes without saying: buy low sell high, but you'll need to check in with your automated fleets occasionally. Chances are your country will need them (you can sell to them) and it keeps the storage clear for items in your trading fleet.ħ. When you get your own 'place' have your automated trade ships drop their excess in your warehouses.
If you leave the game unpaused while in port, the AI ships will continue their trading and will constantly change the values.Ħ. It gives you time to decide how much you want to buy and sell. wine, iron, pottery and clothes) on your active fleet so that if you happen to pass a country that needs them you can get the best deals because AI ships are trading too and I can't tell you how many times they get to a port before I do and change all the values. Try to keep some food and colonial items (e.g. Food is always a money maker because the poorer countries will run out of it very fast. I'll check on that for you but if you want to figure it out for yourself and don't want me to spoil it, let me know.Ĥ. Buy tobacco from countries like Barbados and sell to Martinique, I think. A tobacco route early in the game can be very profitable. Using the same method you can see which countries need a certain item but don't produce any of their own so you can make a killing selling to them. Some countries produce a certain resource but use 0 barrels of it so you get a great deal.Ģ. So a country that produces alot of Potatoes, but only uses 2 barrels or less, will be selling them really cheap. When you click on a well or click on a country when you're not in their port you get a pop-up that shows what they produce and how many barrels of it per day they use.
Check a country's production to its consumption, that should give you an idea for its supply and demand. I don't have the notes with me right now since I haven't played the game in a while (problems with random crashing) but here are a few tips I remember off the top of my head.ġ.
I've been working on one or two trade routes and managed to make quite alot of money by implementing them in new games.
