May I harras trade lanes?

I think you're too weak for that yet... at least near major trading lanes. Go for places like Casablanca.

SAIL TO CASABLANCA!

[techno65535]

Mehmed sails into port and surveys the piers, looking for the best place to tie up. Preferably near a brewery in need of ingredients. As the crew gets the ship tied up and readies to unload he sells the fur and the sausage through the trade house at the list prices. He's not too worried about it since they're both making a rather good profit at the moment. He does however go to a brewery to sell the barley directly. He tries to first increase his sell price. Failing that strikes a bargain to purchase beer at a discount.

Mehmed then heads to the market and strikes up a conversation with the wool merchant. Passing on some tips he's learned on cleaning and preparing wool to make it look better so it can be sold at a higher price. Then he'll try and haggle the merchant down on the price, purchasing 35 crates either way.

If he succeeds at selling the barley at a higher price Mehmed will purchase 5 crates of western armour. If he fails, as much beer as he can.

Mehmed also scourers the docks for a sail wright to purchase a better sail than he currently has. Need all the speed he can get. (purchase sail before the beer if it goes that route)

He then sets sail to Amsterdam on the Ptolemaios.

Alexandre frowned. He's obviously have to brush up on his haggling skills... perhaps flattery would be better than what he tried before? A mix? Who knows, he would just have to practice.

Then, Alexandre turned his mind to the port situation. He knew French and Greek, and had a basic understanding of English... no Arabic, however. He would just have to find a better port. And then, an idea came to his mind. Yes, that wonderful city! He would sail there, as soon as he could. Alexandre hated wasting time.

Sail to Venicia.

Max ponders for a moment, and then as if INSPIRED FROM ABOVE goes sails to Casablanca!

I love how this is suppost to be 14th-16th century Europe yet the Poltical Borders are 21st century.

[Skyrunner]

I love how this is suppost to be 13th-14th century Europe yet the Poltical Borders are very Modern.

...Except you are NOT suppose to look at the political borders?

BTW, its actually the 19th century, and I couldn't be bothered to erase the borders ^^ Also, you are a bit late, considering Azthor noticed that first.


Think of it: there are muskets and cannons.

[Johnfalcon99977]

Its kinda hard not to look at them.

Well, they had those in the 14-16th centuries, and when you said "Uncharted Waters" I thought you were talking about Discovering America, or at least Asia. Every one pretty much knew what the whole world roughly looked like then.

Edit: Adjusted dates a bit because they were way off.

[Skyrunner]

Haha, overreacted a bit because its been noted more than once>.>

Uncharted Waters Online is the actual game this is based on. I don't know why they translated as that, when the original Japanese name is "The Great Age of Sail", usually 1680~1860 ish.

[Tiruin]

Juan turned to his crew as he stood at the Quarterdeck, "My beloved men, God smiles upon us today!" he notes the slight confusion on some of their faces and continues.

"Why, you may ask? For we sail to farther waters. It is time we explored new lands!"

With that (and while noting his debts to them) he sails to Lisbon

[evilcherry]

So we're stuck in Europe? Even getting to the African Coast (and Portuguese Islands off it) is out of the question?

How about the Brandy on board?

[Skyrunner]

Of course not! I just need to get around making the maps and you people need 25 plus levels to go elsewhere.

[evilcherry]

Sell Brandy if that provides a profit plus the wooden statues.

Fill up with Coconuts and Palm Oil (in this order if possible) and set sail to Casablanca.


And as per Iberian Custom, my character is usually referred to as Chico.

@Techno

Mehmed sold the fur for 27806, and the sausages for 13225. He made 40620 ducats in gross profit, minus the 1% tariffs.

He then sold five of his barley crates at the brewery for 60 ducats, and 25 crates at the trade post for 44 - breweries had little need for the huge amounts of barley he had. He made 300 at the brewery and 1100 at the trading post for 1100 in total.

Mehmed then passed on some of his knowledge to the wool merchant. Impressed by him, the wool trader offered his wares at 300 per crate. It was a small discount of 21. He saved about 700 ducats, and bought 35 crates for 10500D. He also bought five boxes of western armor for 11490 ducats.

He could meet no sailswright that could sell a decent sail at 27548 D or less, so he just set sail for Amsterdam.

He entered port 1 day later, at night.

In Amsterdam, Western armor's price was at 2602 per box. He could sell at 13009, or 12879 after tariffs.
Wool was priced at 362 per box. It was 12655 for all 35 boxes, or 12528 after tariffs.

@Repulsion

It took 7 days to get to Venice. In Venice, bee wax sold for 1496 per box. Marble sold for 1395 per crate, and parchment sold for 1337 per box. olive oil sold for 380 a box, and olives sold for 278  per box.

@Tiruin

Juan's caravel docked at Lisbon. It took 13 days to get there : adverse winds did not help. He doled out 1950 ducat's worth of pay again. Satin sold at 4539 per box, as the market price had risen to 137% the past few days.

@evilcherry

Chico did not sell the brandy. The wooden statues were sold for 11352 total.

He then bought 30 coconuts for 8760, and loaded up 25 palm oil boxes for 5225. Or at least, he tried to. He could only load 7 boxes for 1463.

He then sailed to Casablanca.

Coconuts: 245/crate
Palm oil: 222/box
Brandy: 779/box
Sugar cane: 217/crate

Max ponders for a moment, and then as if INSPIRED FROM ABOVE goes sails to Casablanca!

His sloop approached Casablanca. He could see some large ships like caravels and carracks, small ships like vasa and brigs, and exotic ships like Turkish galleys, junks and even a ship-of-the-line. Who should he attack?

- Ex-naval sailor (vasa)
- Self-defense squad (vasa)
- Thief groups (vasa*3)
- Small merchants (caravel)
- Espaņa Navy Fleet (Ship-of-the-line, two large galleons)
- Turkish merchants (three turkish galleys)
- Chinese traders (2 junks)

[evilcherry]

Buy all Ambergris, Onion and Broad Beans (in order)
