This game simulates real business. Unlike in other more strategic, less simulating games, there occur many costs. Not only you must be sure that you sell at higher prices than you buy, you must also be sure that this pays for everything: crew, loan interests, etc.

hi folks,

i still have problem's with saving, although i already tried 3 downloads. everything else works. Oh, and i did give the save a name, just nothing happens when i press the save button.

thanks,

So you enter a name, click save and nothing happens? Are the game's folders read-only?
(note: I've managed to save)

It's exactly how you described it. I enter a name, click save and nothing happens. I checked the game's folder, it's not read only. Any suggestions?

Köln, wie? Allaaf!

That's about the order of typing the savegame name and pressing save. There's no extra screen for that. Below that statue there is a black bar where you type in the the name and then simply press save.
I'm not quite sure if you have a select a save slot before.

Report back if that helped, I know that game very well.

Edit: Sorry for not reading too precisely what Abi wrote...

You don't. The only thing you need to do is to type something below the statue and press 'save'.

That's what I did. But nothing happens. Perhaps someone could give me a link to a valid download. Maybe there is something wrong with the zipped file.

From where have you downloaded the game? Abandonia? If yes, then be assured that there's no problem with it. That's the one I used also to save.

Well i do have the same problem saving the game on my pc.. however the same version (from abandonia) works without any probs on my laptop... dont have a clue why... it just doesnt seem to be the game itself...

the highest profit route is discovered is wool from Sidney to LA... abt 2.000$ profit for a 450 tons ship... trade between LA/SF and Asia is highly profitable, you just need to find a way to transfer the surplus to your home port once in a while...
steam ships will be much more profitable once the suez canal is opened in 1869... especially when transporting tea from bombay to london...
i always try to avoid big ships (700+ tons) to be able to sell all stock at once... otherwise u have to travel too many short routes which dont gain enough profit...
