hmm...played for a while and still haven't gotten those passenger contracts...is there anything I have to do to get them?

First thing is that you have to charge a shipping company
to build you a ship with cabins for passengers.
You can't get such a ship as a used one.

Next thing is that you click the assignment on the counter
of a merchant and accept the offer from the leutnant or
whatever he may be...

You won't be informed in any way wheather they left
the ship or not. You just see that your cabins are empty
so they supposedly left... LOL

Ah I see! The missions are posted at the counter...I thought they were part of the background before. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Folks,

I'm remembering something like a stream map for that game - for that it makes difference whether you're sailing with or against the stream in the sea.
I've searched the internet, but couln't find something about such a map belonging to the game - do you know something about different times that it takes in average to sail from A->B vs. B->A?

Many thanks in advance,
Chris

I do remember it well this map. there were even possibilities for storms and no wind during summer/winter periode. but to find out just take an atlas or globus showing the stream lines. Wind is also possible to find out by using todays maps...
The handbook comming with the game in 92 was really nice and offered a lot of help. i still own it somewhere locked up in a cuppord, i just don't own a scanner to help you out...

I could scan and upload the maps, cause I have the original manual.
If there isn't any already on the site...

Admins?

I have been trying to figure out the auction...Whenever you start a game with more than 1 player, we get an auction screen. During this auction there is 1 ship available for purchase by every player(assuming everybody co-operates). The only problem is...during the auction no keys work and there doesn't seem to be anything you can click on. It is entirely possible we are just missing something but I would like some help, if possible.

Furthermore, does anyone know where to get a manual for this game? Online I mean, preferably in .pdf format, although it doesn't matter as long as pertinent information is all there. It wouldn't even matter to me if it was in German or another foreign language.

This is my post. Could I have this name merged with my current one? Sorry if this isn't the correct place for this, I was just amazed when I came across it.

Has anyone managed to play this game?

I have absolutely no idea how to do it an I've tried EVERYTHING. Reading the Manual was of no help whatsoever.

I've figured out how to make the days pass, take loans, talk at the tavern, get information about locations, scroll at the world map, get to the shipyard, get to that odd monument screen, open the main menu, see report and get to the warehouse, but have got no idea how to actually trade...

Capo, I don't see at your link a description on how to sail.
