Having downloaded the game to get an idea of how this works, I think I can safely say you're not giving enough information for people to make decisions about their turns.

Suggestion: make a list of all the various options, how much trade goods/cannons/soldiers/ships etc. cost, how much cargo space things take up, etc.

People can recruit cavalry, mercenaries, catapults and crossbowmen. But nobody would know that from your previous description. They can invest money in ship and/or weapons technology. Nobody would know that from your description. They can buy trade goods: wood, cloth, sugar, etc. But again, nobody would know this from your descriptions.

You've given an example of what someone might do, but there's just not enough information for people do anything but basically say "ok, yeah...I guess I do what you suggest."
Open the spoilers for your Nation Posts...

I have given pretty much ALL the information that ANYONE gets from getting this game, plus more. When I started I didn't realise how to build Tile Expansions or what they did, here I put them down in the first post under how to play. I didn't know that you use trinkets to charm villages, I put down that information in the Trader Spoiler, under Native Goods. I didn't know you could hire an Army, I put it down under the Pub Spoiler.

You will find a lot of information under spoilers and under the "How to Play" section...
