cargo

[candle]

Ok well tring to play inland on marathon so i have all the time I want to do anything I want. I have a good system working, I have one major port city, it takes in everything from the wagon trains which i also add theres about 80 of them on my map doing something for the 30+ inland colonies I have, my idea was to make this one colony a super port but with all the gold ive been getting it also has 23 cannons, and 40 some odd soilders and about 20 dragoons sitting inside it garrisoned.

now what comes to my city is everything from raw goods to finished products, to food to support all the workers. All upgrades are purchased for this city, and I have workers in every factory working on the extra raw matarial i get in so i can maximize profit. Now because of this i also have about 10 galleons also sitting inside my port at any given time, in truth i have about 15 but none are always in port.

now its year 1700 on this game which took forever to get to and im wondering if there is a simpler way to load cargo onto ships other than dragging it because 10 ships loading with the house after the first3 gets old with it always scrolling up. If this is a noob question forgive me

You could set up trade routes from your export city to Europe & assign your galleons to them.

how it took me forever to figure out the wagon train, there on automate with export import i think thats the right way

There is another way to load your galleons. Select your ship on the main screen and use the Load Goods icon, or just hit 'L'.

thanks, i did figure out trade routes but i have to reassin everytime they come back, its not an issue for this game, but i can imagine the havoc of having about 4 or 5 coastal cities
