Go get DosBox, dude.

Shipbuilding takes forever. Is there some sort of way to speed this up?

I get better results if I don't run with Dosbox.
In XP, I set the Compatibility mode on AC_MAIN.EXE to Win 95 and turn on all the compatibility checkboxes.
The game still crashes now and then, but it autosaves so frequently that you lose little progress.

And shipbuilding for the other countries is no longer slow.

A couple of trading questions:

Is there any way to guess which cards the computer nations are lying about?

Do the computer countries remember everything you claimed to have in the other rounds of trading for the next round?

And, is trading private? So, if I offer Oil, Iron and Salt, but then do a private trade with Crete and give them Grain, Cloth and Hides, do the other countries know that I have changed?
Presumably they know afterwards cos the list of traded cards is public.
