The Port Crane<br />

The port crane will open the trading window as soon as you click on it,<br />

provided that you either own a trading office or have selected one of your<br />

ships at anchor. If you have selected a ship, you can trade between your ship<br />

and the local market. Otherwise you can trade between your office and the<br />

market. (see chapter 9 for further information)<br />

The Tavern<br />

The tavern is not just a lively and cozy place to meet people and to spend a<br />

pleasurable evening with your friends. It is also the place where sinister folks<br />

hang out - characters you would rather not be seen with in the light of day.<br />

Nevertheless, some lucrative deals can be made in the tavern.<br />

Click on the tavern to enter it. The selection window will list the persons that<br />

are hanging around there. Not all the people mentioned here will always be present, but you will<br />

usually come across at least one of them. Just choose one of the guests and see what happens.<br />

The Mission Trader<br />

The trader’s name will appear on a button in the selection window – people like him aren’t the<br />

usual guests, for mission traders only appear when you are on a mission that involves a meeting<br />

with a certain trader. He will be available to you as a reference person until the mission is<br />

completed. The aim and purpose of the mission can always be found in your personal messages.<br />

The trader will be waiting for your delivery. If you click on his button, he will start a<br />

conversation. If your delivery is incomplete, he will tell you about the missing goods and remind<br />

you of the deadline.<br />

The Common Trader<br />

If you are not on a mission, you might come across one of your colleagues in the tavern. Most<br />

likely, he will offer you some merchandise that he couldn’t sell in the city, probably owing to an<br />

oversupply. It can be a bargain at times. If you are interested, accept his offer. You will then be<br />

asked where the goods should be transferred to (either your office or your ship). In case you<br />

have a ship only, the goods will be transferred there immediately.<br />

Sailors<br />

Of course sailors are among the habitués of every tavern. If the city is doing well, you are likely<br />

to meet them there every single day, sipping on a pint of beer.<br />
