Hi there,
anyone still playing 1869?
I am trying to play it and got stuck a little.
I am beginning with the Odessa route with arms until April 1856. After that I am buying a steel Brigg 600 tons or maybe two of them.
Starting routes: Liverpool/London to Rio then coal to NY, amchines to New Orleans, Textiles to Puerto Bello, Repairing in Savannah, Sugar from Havanna to Amsterdam
Second ship to Cape Town or some cities in Africa for ivory oder rare wood. Or I sent them to Melbourne, Bombay, Singapore
After the opium war I try to sent a ship with silk to L.A and textiles back.
Captains order is hard, with two dots back in the salery.
But it seems that I donīt get enough money per route to bring some cash in the warehouse for the taxes.
Is still someone here who plays 1869 with success? Iīve read the whole posts in the thread, so I am up to date.
Can anyone tell something about the procedure from 1856 to maybe 1869 what he does over the years, a little schedule so to speak maybe?
Thanks.
