GoodS Seperation (dont want indian with 400 guns)

Ok, so I am at the diplomacy page with my Galleon. It has 400 guns, and I only want to sell the Indians 100 guns, how do I seperate the goods at the diplomacy page? I have tried Shift and EVERYTHING, to try and drag the 100 guns down, but every time i even click on it, 400 guns drop. I am sorry Chief Wakakakaka, I dont want to give you 400 guns for 500gold, maybe a 100 though...

Please help this is very frustrating

unload 300 gun in your colony and go back, sorry I don't think thats the answer you were looking for

You can't trade partial loads.

Welcome to the Forums sonic17.

The only way to trade partial loads is to have only a partial load loaded on your ship/wagon to begin with. So if you only want to trade 50 guns to a tribe, load 50 guns only onto the transport. Unfortunately, the game wont allow you to split loads between holds (i.e., no loading of two separate 50 guns loads into different holds on a wagon).

Yes it is possible to trade a partial load of goods in an indian village. (Note I said 'possible', not 'easy'). I have just tested it and this is how it works. Load a galleon with an empty wagon and 450 guns and sail it into a coastal indian village. The 'Unload All' icon appears. Click this and your wagon unloads into the village. Then click on the guns you wish to sell (either 50 or 100) and the 'Load' icon appears. Click on that and the guns you wish to sell will be loaded into your wagon. Select your wagon and trade those guns to the indians. The remaining guns remain in your galleon. Load your wagon back onto the galleon and continue on to the next village - or load more guns onto your wagon and send it to an inland village if you wish.

This method only allows you to trade an individual hold of goods, in this case either 100 or 50, you cannot subdivide it further as you could in a colony, and you can only trade the 50-gun hold once. However it still opens up new trading options if that is the type of game you prefer.

its a minor annoyance that you have a popup allowing you to cycle through the amount of gold you want to trade but cant do the same with goods.

I'd also like to see someone mod in a comment line on the trading diplomacy screen saying how many free holds there are on your ship/wagon. I often go in and wonder why I cnat buy any goods before (duh!) realising I have to get rid of my cargo/troops on the ship first.

that said if neither get fixed im not going to be massively depressed about it, I see them as potential performance tweaks rather than gameplay issues which can use more improvement
