I just figured most of this out last night, but I didn't know about getting attacked within enemy nation's territories. Thanks for the guide matey, very informative!
@Jerry King some goods just dont sell well in that area. Danish yeast being one of them. I would need to go and look at the port of KPR and see what they have compared to where it would sell nicely. the British waters dont have the best trade routes at the moment other than KPR to Port au prince. what goods are bought and sold i dont know. some small items like danish yeast need to be sailed across the map to sell for higher prices. best thing you can do is find an item that is a high price and sail it about an hour away to sell it for a great price. always look for things such as Historical Artifacts and masks. Rubber, Honey and French items.
open trader tool. and type in exactly what you are looking for. honestly that tool deos not do as good as it used to. let me give you a link that will help and is more straight forward on trading.
You have warned us not to sail into enemy capitals. Are all other nations capitals other than your own enemy capitals? If some other nations are friendly to yours how do you gather that information?Thank you for your time, Dylan Woolems, Master and Cmdr.
At all capitals in the game (nations that have capitals that is) there will be what are called HDFs (Home defense fleets) these fleets will tag anything that is not of there own nation, they are fast and strong. there is no friendly nation to them. they are designed to protect the new players of the game from constant ganking. List of capitals > Port Royal, Gustavia, La Habana, Willamstad, Fort Royal, Christianstad, Charlston, Mortimer town.
@@Rook2299 Thank you for making all this very clear! I recently took a mission and asked to take my patrons to a Spanish port. That took a long time but when I got to the Spanish port I was not able to dock so the mission was awash. I'm not sure why NA gives you missions that cannot be accomplished. So the bottom line as a British Capt. I can only trade with other British ports. Do I have that right?
@@jerryking1548 Incorrect. I will add that to my next video to explain more clearly. you cannot enter an enemy port in a warship. you need to be in a trade ship only. not even basic cutters can enter enemy port.
@@Rook2299 howdy there. Looking at this, this is very informative. I do wanna ask, with the trade ships, would enemy privateer fleets still aytack you if you're in an Indiaman?
