Hello
I'm a real newbie. I have never played any of the other civ games before, and bought civ colonization for my mac. I'm really struggling to get going! I've been managing to send me ship back and forth to Europe and pick up a some new people. However, I can't seem to send cargo back to trade. When my ship is in the square that's part of my settlement how do I get to the load cargo button mentioned in the instructions?
thanks!
There are two ways to load goods into your ship. If you are in the Settlement screen click on the goods at the bottom of the screen and drag them to the cargo hold of your ship. This will automatically transfer up to 100 units (for a standard game). If you want to choose how much to load hold down the Shift key before dragging the goods.
You can also load your ship from the overland screen. When the ship is active a load goods icon appears among the other action icons at the bottom of the screen, or you can use 'L'. However with this option you cannot choose a partial load.
