🧭 Admiralty Guidelines for Merchant Captains
- Wind Direction Mastery: Always check the trade wind corridors before setting sail. A Fluyt or Indiaman sailing against the wind loses up to 40% speed, becoming an easy target for privateer sloops.
- Cargo Insurance & Escorts: When transporting Solid Gold Bullion or Rare Silk, never sail without at least one War Frigate escort in your squadron.
- Port Tariffs: Ports with high security (such as Havana) charge higher tax rates, but offer immune harbor zones. Pirate havens like Tortuga charge lower tax, but have lawless harbor approaches.
- Bulk Holds: Upgrade your cargo bulkheads at guild shipwrights to increase tonnage by up to 25% without sacrificing hull durability.
