Anyone know how to send out search parties? I keep getting those quests to do but I have to decline as I don't know how to do them.

I think you just need to move the ship into the area you scout and you'll see an icon appear above your ship, telescopic looking icon.

Ahhh, okay thanks mate. I was trying to do it like the other quests where you have to find people in your town, such as nuns/knights/spies etc but could never find people for a search party - no wonder :P


Another few questions for people:

1. Is there any way to rotate the "Honor" goods that the two NPC players have in a Continious Play game? The only way I can do it at the moment is to buy the honor items and hope for something I want coming in on the next rotation... was thinking there might be a way to remove the current batch of honor items and get the game to bring in new ones?

2. Does anyone find Coffee produces ridiculously slow? I have to have 2 coffee fields and 2 coffee plants to produce enough coffee for a small town of Oriental consisting of only 36 hours, and they only *just* produce enough :/

3. Can you upgrade your flagship? I have 6 slotter cargo ships running around, but my flagship is still only 4 slots.

How do I aquire the rights to get flour seeds off Northburgh?

Flour seeds? Do you mean wheat seeds? If it's greyed out, you should be able to click the padlock at the side to unlock it (if that's greyed out too, you need to unlock the previous items). You can then buy it.
 
How long is one continuous game supposed to last?

I just get the feeling I'm doing it wrong as it's going so slow, I've got 3 islands now and I'm making quite abit of profit but I'm only up to patricians, seems to take a long time making sure everyone is happy and getting resources around unless that is normal? Is it just a time consuming game, I've spent about 8 hours so far!

Always restarted after about 15hours but I think you could easily spent 40+ hours in the game if you were playing until you were the only player left. :)

Been getting better at making cash so might try to do a more sustainable game, rather than somehow bankrupting myself !
 
so i got citizens, all needs are met but they are slightly hungery, i have shipped dates to them but it dosent seem enough, they are bored of fish, i also cant see how you build weat farms, anyone had this issue and worked around it?
 
Your citizens won't eat dates sadly, you need to ramp up fishing to supply them with their food source.
What do you mean you can't see how to build wheat farms? Are the build options greyed out?

If there bored of fish next up is spices (need a desert island) then bread and then meat .

Only the nomads need dates

If you click on a citizens house you get the needs window up in the bottem right. Click any of the bars to get a more detailed list of exactly what they need.

Peasants - Fish
Citizens - Fish and Spices
Patricians - Bread, fish and spices

Got a few screenshots of my farms, managed to lay them out nicely.

Hemp and linens, pig skins and cider.

A very nice one for wheat, similer to pigs, going to have to move all this to another island soon.

And finally cows to meat. Need to make the warehouse close enough so they can get salt from it.

I can't get some of my farm to processing building ratios right

It's 2 wheat to 1 flour to 1 bread roughly
2 apple to 1 cider
But for the beer, is it 1 herbs, 1 wheat to 1 beer?
Or something like that :/
 
ahhh, tis the spices im missing for citizens. I guess once they get spices and upgrade ill get the option to build wheat farms and stuff

Thanks for the help
