I was crafting two coffees and putting them on the 8 berth ship, so it took 4 captains to get me out of there. I'd made sure that I got the first two coffee plantations, so it was difficult to break my monopoly. Good point about the four quarries, I might have had time to get sugar going if I'd not gone for the last one. My initial plan was to get a factory, but by the time I could afford it I had 3 quarries and didn't think there was enough time left in the game to make money out of it.Friendlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302241085168424095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21646725.post-1150326769082525712006-06-15T09:12:00.000+10:002006-06-15T09:12:00.000+10:00I think you were probably let off a bit by newbies...I think you were probably let off a bit by newbies. If you had put coffee on the largest ship and had a coffee monopoly, they should have, at the least, forced you to keep shipping it until it sailed and also deny your coffee trades.<BR/><BR/>Still, it sounded like you had a good game. Pretty unusual to get four quarries - I would kind of doubt that four is worth it as you only get the benefit of the fourth one for large buildings. i.e. you would have only used it once.<BR/><BR/>Still, I am no expert.Paul Kiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564228650950238888noreply@blogger.com
