the first thing looks like a leveler, but it is possible to go for world domination.

about cannon damage, i dont use cannons too much but i can tell you that damage comes from: type of cannon, n° of cannon, n° of crew set at battle, gunnery skill from captain, battle level from captain, luck from captain, distance? and i think it is over.

what dya mean by leveler mate, and yeah i have observe that even with the country profit at negative value, the merchant fleet of whatever counrty u play is still effective in doing their job. but it will be nice if u see ur country profit in positive value rather in negative value.

on the battle issues, i do notice that the distance between ur ship and target also play a factor in the gun damage.

thanks for replying to my post.

I should check my games in order to properly answer about the mistake in profit of the country that is ruling the world. I thinked that it could be a tool for dont let world domination happen. Example: the country allied with everyport gots negative profit (it can by explained as inflation), so their fleets becomes less in number and in ships tipes and numbers.

About distance, i am not sure how it applies but i can tell that the curvelin make more damage if fired from max range than if fired from near.

I'm playing UW2 right now, and so far i'm enjoying every moment of it. ( except that lousy thunderstorm of course )

I'm using Ali as my character
And i have this request from a king in istanbul, he want something special
I've been traveling around the globe to find what he want ... what should i do ? i've been buying circlet and many other items, but i can't give it to the king ?

what does that king really want ? pls guys, help ...

btw :

i have a nice route from Marseille to Santa Cruz
i'd buy something in Marseille with the price of 3 gold
and i sell it in Santa Cruz or Argin with a good price ( probably 30 - 40 gold )

i don't remember what, coz i play it in my home
but if you can find what item they sell in price of 3 in marseille, then you know you can make profit in santa cruz/argin

sorry, the nameless post above was mine

If you are playing Ali (merchant), the sultan give you only 3 tipes of missions: A) Carry a letter to another king or bring back documents, the idea is to go to another capitol.
B) Ally X number of ports, you should go and invest until becomes allied with Ottoman Empire in x number of ports.
C) Bring some rare cargo from the other side of the world, it can change coz if that cargo is found very near to Istambul the city maket will be closed.

Other missions for privatters:
A) Same as merchant.
B) Defeat a fleet or more from an Y nation.

For explores:
A) Same as merchant.
B) Found a special artifact, these are long.
C) Give ya discoveries for free to the king.

i guess thats must be it. however after u reach the turning point, which i mean from positive to negative value, the profit keep going up. so say when u have 60 port ally with you, the profit is say around 30000 and then the next month the profit become -32000 with 70 port ally and after that if u get more ally port, the profit goes -31000 instead of -33000 and so on. so if the profit thing is a leveler (inflation) then the profit should getting worse instead of better after the turning point. there is also other thing i just notice. with the country profit value become negative, the plunder cash u get from sinking pirate fleet become 500 ingot while the display said 500000+ gold coins which is 50 ingots only just wondering if this thing consider as bug or what.

for starter u might go to any pub with waitress and asked for the job info. if she doesn't know then go to the guild the should be able to tell ya. if the guild master cant tell you as well then sail to other port and repeat it again. i dont know if giving gift to the waitress could help u or not. or if u are hunting for someone u may get the information just from treating the whole pub.

simpervy:
thanks, that's a nice tips
