Does taking on a career actually change the outcome of the game or is it just a way of raising cash and stats?
Also on several occasions Ive signed up with cartographers and then forgotten which one I signed with. Is there no way of telling?

The career you take on will change the "scores" (adventure, trading, pirating) you get, which will influence how fast the game advances because sometimes the trigger for a next step in the game is that your score in adventure/trading/pirating reaches a certain level.

Don't the other cartographers tell you that you already have a contract with a different cartographer when you try to sign a contract with them?

Erm I dont recall they did. I went in and had the option to 'learn skills' and so I agreed, for the second time Im sure. I made a point of signing up to one before I went off to look for new lands, Im sure I did. Unless it was a celestrial navigation contract I had, if there is such a thing. (?)

Actually I may have solve my dilema. I think when I visted the last cartographer he may have questioned me I think I assumed it was the king of Spain's contract he was referring to. The king asks you at some stage to discover new things for him. Is there anyway to tell which contract you have and with who?

Um im in a pickle with Ali I am a knight with nothing to do, i see the next stage is to find Jeno and help him but i cant find him. also i keep getting from the intambul dock master that their is a weapon in massawa i went there and found a locked huge building.

I remember being stuck in the same situation.

Try allying with lots of ports, I seem to remember that worked for me; at a certain point people will start complaining to you about the increasing power of the Turkish empire and that's when the story goes forward again.

What fleet do you currently have, how much cash do you have on hand?
Also, if you don't have the gold yet for a decent fleet and/or great armor and sword, keep trading on safe lines until you have acquired enough wealth.

Either go for a light, very fast fleet (speed of slowest ship at least 18 knots) and keep on the lookout for any enemy fleets,
or go for a well armed fleet,
or third option: buy some of the most expensive armor and sword, have a lot of crew on your flagship, then challenge the enemy captain to a duel.
