CIVIOT4: The Trade Empires

[Civ'ed]

Update 1:
1620 Anno Domini, year of our lord. Traders have started to take lands for trading and are starting to establish monopolies. Elsewhere...
Countries - no actions
Trade informations:
All Asian countries can trade but need a direct route (i.e. no uncolonized areas)
All European and North African countries can trade but also need a direct route
Europeans can only trade as far as the borders of a) Russia or b) the Ottomans

Tokugawa: sell 2 grain buy 2 grain = 12gold Profit: 2gold
Mercader: buy 1 wine buy 1 silver sell 1 wine sell 1 silver = 23gold Profit: 13gold

We can rearrange trade routes, right?

 

[JohannaK]

We can make several trade routes with a common province?

 

[christos200]

Just claim a korean province because my computer has a problem.

you can't rearrange trade routes.

Yes you could.
Any specific Korean province, Christos?

 

[JohannaK]

Then, I set another trade route, with my wine province and the Balearic Islands (the nearest, just in case)

 

[christos200]

No. Just a random korean province.

[Double A]

Why not? I'd have the province I want to switch under my control.

 

[Civ'ed]

Why not? I'd have the province I want to switch under my control.

ou mean under control of the country? ok then

 

[Double A]

I realized that there was more wine than any other expensive good in Europe, so it's kinda dumb to trade silver and gold instead of silver and wine + gold and wine.

I have a question.

I have 13 gold
I need 8g to buy goods (5g for gold and 3g for wine)

meaning I have 5g to invest.

correct?

1 trade route will cost me 4g
Can I establish a completely new trade route from two new provinces or is it supposed to connect with my current trade route?

If I spent 4g on a new trade route I will an excess of 1g. Is it possible to invest this in something?

Name: na Sukhothai
Allegiance: Burma
Religion: Buddhism
Currently Trading In: Chiang Mai, Dawei
Goods: 1 Opium and 1 Spices

Our family has begun into our merchant goals, trading from both north and south of our ancestral home, Sukhothai, from where we once ruled. While we are a Thai family, we currently reside under the rule of the Phamaa (Burma), so we trade in both Thai and Phamaa cities. In hopes of gaining more ground, we have embarked in a journey across the Ao Bengkal (Bay of Bengal) to begin trading into the Thamil (Tamil) lands, eventually arriving into the city of Mathurai (Madurai).

Create 1 trade route in Madurai for Spices

yep, you have 5g to invest, you can buy a new trade route but must be between somewhere you own already (because that makes sense). this excess 1g does not have to be invested, but you could give it to your country... /subtlehint

I figured but still, I thought you never know

and, yeah that was, among other things, what I had in mind when I asked about investing

Al Dwairan (familyname)

4g to open an office in {insert name of western province of Algiers}*
1g to gift to the Sultan? of Algiers

8g for tradegoods (5g for gold and 3g for wine)

*Can is start trading here right away? Cause I don't have the gold to pay for the products.

 

[Civ'ed]

you don't have the cash yet, just wait

 

[christos200]

Tokugawa, asks the shogun of Japan to use the mighty japanese army to expand in manchuria. With manchuria under our control Japan could move to expand more into china or even take over the silk road and give it to the greatest japanese Merchant Family, The tokugawa.

We wait for your reply.
