Shipping Box in AJE

Mon Sep 24, 2012 3:26 pm

Hi there,

I'm wondering about the shipping box in AJE. The tooltip says one can increase income by adding transport ships. However, I'm wondering if this is true. I've added transport ships and there was no income there (Mare Internum). Also, does the system about the sea transport pool still apply. It's in the tooltip, but there is no message about it.

The merchant ships do bring in money (they were there at the beginning of the scenario) and are called trading (transport ship)

Thanks,

Charles

The only ships that will generate income in MTB (Maritime Trade Box) are the commerce ships.

Generic transport ship would not.

Tooltip about MTB should be fixed.

AJE does not allow you, yet, to build tranport ships. We must find first a good way for AI to handle them.

I think you mean AJE does not allow you to build merchant (trading ships), I did build transport ships. Looks like I need to update the tutorial on making money in shipping boxes.

Franc., most people are messing up merchant chips and transports. the manual was not updated it states transports (AACW way) and charlesonmission is still using the "early version" (see beta test form, Boh. statement)

‘Everything is very simple in War, but the simplest thing is difficult. These difficulties accumulate and produce a friction which no man can imagine exactly who has not seen War . . . in War, through the influence of an infinity of petty circumstances, which cannot properly be described on paper, things disappoint us, and we fall short of the mark.‘
