Hi,i have a problem

I need one more treasure but i cant find it, i have visited every port in the world for 4-5 times in the last 10 year (game-time) and found nothing.

Is a bug or i'm doing something wrong?

Finally i have found the treasure and finished the game

Here some tips:

1)Start with any nation you like,if you want no problem at all select England

2)Make money is very easy.The most profitable goods are Arms and Oppium.

3)The best ship is the Frigade,is fast enough to escape almost every battle,has a decent cargo and you can win every battle with 32 cannon (use the sail trick to hit with every shot).Buy it as soon as you can, upgrade it at 'eccelent 'quality and buy the best cannons.

4)The charts aren't very usefull,at the start buy every chart you can to have the details of every port, then buy charts when are too out-dated .

5)Buy only the big estate (735.000) the medium and the small are useless.

6)If you find a treasure dealer buy a treasure!! they are very rare.

7)the helmsman is very important,hire a eccelent one, he will make the navigation more quiet(he can avoid pirates)

8)Win battle increase Daring / Transport countrysman increase Loyality / Transport people without money increase Honor / Visit Port increase Nobility

HI!

If anyone is still reading this: I've played this game in 1995 and loved it! But back then it always crushed on ny comp I played it on. Now I've tried about 3 different versions from the internet and YEAH! it does work now;
BUT:

I cant get any maps of ASIA!!! HOW DO I GET ASIAN MAPS? I've looked in any Carthouse of every city in Europe, Africa, North- and Southamerica. I'm obsessed with this game for 12 years now and I just want to finish it! PLEASE HELP me!

I'm pretty sure I have a bad version again .
Maybe you can tell me where I can cheat the maps I have?

Thanks in advance

I found out myself: I transported the bug with the savegame: I just had to start new to repair.
So after 12 years! FINALLY! Actually, the final sequence is quite short and boring for all that trouble I went through. LOL.

Hi I have a very stupid question. I hired a helmsman, left the port, went to cabin, browse through charts and selected the city. Under routes I cannot click on first mate so I went on done and exit from cabin and when I press above little map on the deck, my ship is going straight and I have to steer it again. I would appreciate if you could help me how to do that because I have already looked at previous posts and didn t worked for me, so what am I doing wrong

[Torrente]

one other thing is that when I m on the deck after setting the course, when I click above that small map first mate always said to me that I haven t selected any waypoints

[Torrente]

sorry just find it

To set the course waypoints, you need to click on the bits of sea that you want the ship to go to, then you can click first mate. You'll see anchors linked by a continuous line showing the path you set, and it won't let you plot the point if it involves going over some land.

Also, two things with this version - why is there no music in North American ports? They only play the music of the last screen shown, so I get things like the tavern music still playing on the port screen. I know that the CD version played the Northern Europe tune in these ports.

And there don't seem to be trade winds, just winds, so there is no natural clockwise wind motion in the oceans.
