I'm glad someone is trying to turn this game into a scenario.
I have a question for those who play this game.
I just bought this game a week ago and I'm having a problem.
I can't generate any income. I'm always working in the red and going broke---and this is at the easy level.
How do I generate money to field an army/navy or continue to build the neccessary buildings that my people keep demanding. I always reach a point where I just quit because I end up running out of money. And once again, this is the easy level. What am I doing wrong.
Please repond here and e-mail me at Mauddib@intergrafix.net

I wish I could build an army/navy.
The point I'm trying to make is this. At the easy level (and this royally ticks me off), I reach a dead end while the computer players expand to other islands and build shipyards and more ships, I can never get to that point in my growth.
I want to know why or how the computer players at the supposedly easy level can build the things that I can't because I run out of money.
Oh, and as far as the tax rates, I can only get them to 34% and no higher or my people get angry and my population starts to leave.
I do build what my people want that seems to be the crux of my problem and when I try to copy the computer players in what they build, it still doesn't help.
How many marketplaces, chaples, HOUSES, etc should I have.
Here is what I usually have when I run out of money:
2-3 marketplaces
2 foresters huts, chaples, fisher huts, sheep farms & cattle farms
1 tavern, weaver, butcher, stone quarry, stonemason, school, doctor, fire brigade, mine, smelter, & tool maker (if I don't build the last 3, I run out of tools and don't have the money to buy them when the free traders show up.)
10-15 houses
And a Level 2 warehouse.
This is when I start to lose money, my people are at about 250-325 in pop. and they want alcohol, tobacco, and spices and I don't or can't generate the monet neccessary to continue, BUT THE DAMN COMPUTER PLAYERS march on so I just quit.

Yeah, but the computer players don't need what I have or get their goods from the Free Traders which forces me to sail my lone ship back to my warehouse.

Shadowstrike, I see you are experiencing the same problem.
As for selling to free traders, my excesses in cloth, wood & bricks and sometimes food never get bought by the free traders.
