At His Majestys Service: Veni, vidi, veci: My trade balance is above 500. Why does the game not end?
From Manfred: “Make sure you really have a ‘trade balance’ of 500. Trade balance = difference between selling and buying.” Neferankh adds: “To get the positive trade surplus of 500 gold, you will have to trade manually. The Free Traders do not buy enough. The northeast island has gold. Once you get to 150 Citizens, build a gold mine. Once you get to your 300 Citizens, load a ship with gold and go sell it. This will produce your 500 gold trade surplus very easily. This is another reason why you should leave your Opponents’ major islands alone. They are at, or go to, Merchant level and will demand gold.” Eric Lorah writes: “When I have met all other scenario goal requirements, I quickly go to all of my warehouses and stop buying so my purchases drop to 0 and I start selling as much as I can of my stored-up goods and at a lower than normal price that the Freetraders can not resist.
