Here's a tip for people who don't know how to get Elderman or increase quickly in the game.

Start out in Hamburg: there's 26 pepper there
loan untill you have 11000 thaler and buy them all.

If you want to 'cheat' the system, sell the 26 pepper, save and reload.
You can buy it again for 450 each.

If you want to play it 'honoustly' just wait 1 day, and hope theres still another 26 there.. buy, wait 1 day, sell, wait 1 day, buy/sell etc untill theres only 5/6 pepper left.. then just pay off your debt

For income later on you can set cities (allways put your home town to 10000 units of warehouses) to build 1000-5000 units of warehouse @39 each then buy up loads of wine in bremen and hamburg and start trading.
If bremen or hamburg has wine <450 value, loan tons and tons of money and buy up a stockpile of it.

You can also use another trick to earn millions of thaler but you'll cripple the town into poverty-stricken for some time .

Buy up all the arms from the blacksmith, then move ALL of it to another city and just leave 31 arms in your ship. Sell it back to the blacksmith via the Inn, you'll get a super high price for it (1000-1200 thaler). Then buy the 31 back from the blacksmith (on the pricelist it says 1300+ but when you actually buy it, it only costs 600-800 thaler).

Using this you can earn infinite amount of money, you can also donate tons to the church for quick support in the town (mayor/elderman status)
