In the Age of Sail game, the concept of country is not important. This is of course for the sake of harmony. It is impossible for game companies to provoke conflicts between countries in the game, otherwise the game will be banned by the relevant countries.
Although it does not matter which country he is born in, the region where the character comes from is still very important. Lao Bai was born in East Africa, so he has the trading rights of all cities in East Africa, and has an initial intimacy increase among NPCs in East Africa and West Africa.
The average NPC friendship level is friendly. But when he goes to other areas, he is an outsider, and the average NPC friendship level is neutral.
If the npc friendliness is not high, then it will definitely be expensive for you to buy things, it will be difficult to complete the tasks, and some tasks and events will not be triggered... If you want to improve the friendliness, you must complete tasks. But most tasks can only increase one
Or the friendship of several NPCs, so the character’s initial friendship bonus is very important.
If you are not in the area where you are born, if you go to other places, the friendliness of NPCs is generally low, and life is certainly not as easy as the locals. But no matter whether it is difficult to get along outside, Lao Bai has to do it. He will not offend Espinoza.
I dare to go back to East Africa again. Now in order to find Serra's tribe and develop in North Africa, we must first resolve the issue of trade rights.
Age of Navigation is an online game that focuses on business. Making money in the game, developing chambers of commerce, expanding influence, etc. are the main goals of players. Although the professional leagues that later attached to it emphasized competitive confrontation, competition must first
Do you have capital? After all, you need a lot of gold coins to play games, buy good ships, and hire powerful mercenaries.
What? You said that Lao Bai’s slaves do not require wages to hire? Uh... This is a special situation. Crew wages are a huge cost for most people. And if Lao Bai wants to start a team, it is impossible.
He has one boat per person, even if he only uses one boat, he still has to work hard to make money to buy a good boat.
In short, money is the most important thing in the game and is a necessity for all development. Although money is not everything, there is nothing you can do without money.
So how to make money? There are many ways to make money, but you wouldn't see something like killing a coyote and dropping three gold coins in the Age of Sail. The wild animals here don't have the habit of taking gold coins out with them.
You can touch the pockets of bandits after killing them, or you can do some small tasks to make money, but none of this is as fast as running a business to earn money. Sell African ivory to China, buy Chinese porcelain to Europe...
... Such a hugely profitable business activity will quickly fill your pockets, allowing you to maintain ships, troops, and warships.
So how do you do business? First, you must obtain trade rights. Only with the trade rights of a city can you load and unload cargo at the port of that city, and only then can you do business with the merchants in the city.
As soon as a character in the Age of Sail is born, he will automatically obtain the trade rights of all cities in the area where he was born. However, if he wants to develop in other areas, he must complete the task of obtaining the trade rights of the cities in the region. The trade rights of each city in the game are**
Yes, if you want to do business in any city, you must first obtain that city’s trade license.
Generally speaking, when players go to other regions to do business, they will definitely not obtain trade rights in every village and town, otherwise they will have to spend a lifetime just to obtain trade rights. Normal people will only choose one of the many cities.
Several of them are their trading partners.
Lao Bai selected the surrounding cities and decided to first obtain the trading rights of Alexandria and Cairo. Alexandria is a port with a long history and the most important seaport in Egypt. Cairo is the capital of Egypt.
No matter what, you can't go wrong by choosing a big city to do business. In big cities like Alexandria and Cairo, prices generally don't rise and fall, so as to avoid losing money and taking the boat out.
Of course, historically Egypt has become a province of the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and there is no such thing as a capital. But in the game, it is still an independent country. Although Age of Navigation is a game set in the 16th century in history, it tries its best to downplay it.
National concept, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, so the country divisions in the game are mostly divided according to existing countries.
Like Egypt, it was historically an Ottoman province and was later raped by France and Britain. Of course, it is impossible for game companies to design the same plot and let Egypt in the game be raped by France and Britain again. If this arrangement were made, Egyptian players would
There will definitely be a protest. It is not good for him to always belong to the Ottomans. Which country's players would want their country to be ruled by a foreign country?
Therefore, Egypt can only be allowed to remain an independent country in the game. Other countries that were once colonies mostly dealt with it in this way. In order to be close to historical facts, the game also arranged some tasks for these countries to drive away the invaders.
After selecting Alexandria and Cairo as the first trading partners, Lao Bai naturally had to undertake the task of obtaining trading rights.
It is not easy to get a trade license. Customs, Port Authority, Transportation Bureau, Taxation Bureau... all the tasks of the relevant departments have to be run through, and in the end you have to get the mayor's signature and approval. Fortunately, Lao Bai was reborn, and he was like this in his previous life.
The task was completed well, but despite this, he still struggled for several days to obtain the trading rights of Alexandria City.
After Alexandria City was settled, Lao Bai went to Cairo again, and did a lot of similar tasks, and finally secured Cairo's trade rights. With the trade rights of the two cities in hand, Lao Bai could
He used his small boat to run some small business between the two places and made some money. Otherwise, he would not be able to pay the berth fee for the bareboat at the dock.
Cairo is a river port, not close to the sea. The Nile, the longest river in the world, flows through this city.
The Nile River is the source of life for the Egyptian people. It has accumulated a lot of wealth for the people along its coast and created the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Nile River of more than 6,700 kilometers created the pyramids, created ancient Egypt, and created miracles for mankind.
Lao Bai now uses his boat to carry out trade from Cairo to Alexandria on this river. He sets out from Cairo every morning, drives his boat, loads two cabins of cargo, and goes down the Nile River.
All the way to the Mediterranean, then turned to Alexandria. After buying the goods, he loaded two more cargo compartments and sailed upriver, returning to Cairo. The Swordfish was fast, and it was easy to make a round trip a day, but two cargo compartments were too little.
A little bit.
Alexandria and Cairo are both cities in Egypt, and they are not far apart. The price difference between the goods in the two places is not big. The friendship between Lao Bai and the merchants is low, and the prices they charge are on the high side, so the profit is not much. Fortunately, Lao Bai became an angel.
The charm of the clan queen has risen to 20 points. This is a very unnatural attribute, and it is very easy to negotiate the price. Moreover, the crew members Sera, Amina and the others never ask for wages, otherwise they will really have to lose money and make a profit.
In this way, while making money, Lao Bai helped Sera to inquire about the whereabouts of her people. Sera was kidnapped in Zurich, and Cairo is not too far from Suez. This is why Lao Bai chose Cairo as a trade partner.
s reason.
Every few days, Lao Bai ran from Cairo to Suez to do some tasks and inquire about news. When he didn't get any news from the Serra people, he continued to come back for shipping. After going back and forth, although Lao Bai failed to help the Serra people find the people, the Egyptian region
He ran very well.
Time passed unknowingly, and it was autumn again in the blink of an eye. My sister and Hui Yu were still doing their hidden missions, but the Age of Sail game began to hold a large-scale event in this season - the first single-ship naval battle race.
Knowing that the registration for the naval battle competition had begun, Lao Bai looked at the only six crew members including himself, and then at his small and skinny ship Swordfish. While lamenting that he was single and weak, he also cheered himself up.
He yelled like this: "I want to defy heaven!"
