First of all I really would like to thank the guys from Abondonia for this forum. I have played 1869 on and off, but I never managed to stay in business. Last night however I only sailed between Liverpool and Western Africa and after a couple of years going up and down I managed to make a steady profit of $1500.
It already appeared to me that sailing to Africa takes a lot longer than sailing from Africa. Now I know the current and wind directions throughout most of the year for the Atlantic, but the Pacific is really unknown to me, so once again I REALLY would like to have those current and flow charts available.
Adding to that I would like to say that the manual on the site right now isn't very good. Since the official manual is available (in text) I recommend placing that one on the site (see one the of the previous posts).
For the buy and sell prices I recommend the following site:
www.1869.de.to This site has ALL the prices, where the list on your site is missing out on some season-dependent goods.
One last thing that I really would like to know, which isn't mentioned in the official manual either, is when the tea, fruit and cotton, (vegetable oil ?) is harvested. Also the time to rot of these goods would be useful to know. (Is taken on water of any influence?).
For those who have answers, or the flow charts (want it want it want it), already thanks for your help!
