Current situation (soon to follow)

This thread is meant for general discussion about all aspects of trade. More detailed questions will be discussed in subsequent threads/polls that will be linked here.

stupid question

: how do i make a screenshot?

Pedrunn · April 5, 2003, 12:21

Find a good image to take a picture. Click the button 'Print Screen' in the top-right corner of the keyboard. Then open a graphic program (I use photoshop but any will work even Paint). And click to 'Paste' (most program you find this function in the Edit menu at the top or in the right-click menu). And there it is you screenshot. Then just save the file as JPG (preferable), PNG or GIF. then just attach to Apolyton.

There are no stupid questions. Just stupid asnwers.

And believe this answer doestnt fit in this category.

you are right, thank you, though the credits go to gilgamensch who already helped me via icq

note, the screenies show not all possible trade routes, but the most important ones, meaning the best internal ones, the external ones with the highest income and the external ones with the smallest amount of caravans needed.

EDIT: damn!

in 5 turns

if those two will be ready, they shall carry coal to maquiladad. according to the current stands of both polls mentioned in the first post, we shall stick to "worthy" trade routes and stick to "very carefull" external trade. since i can't see any possible trade route which is both worthy and "very safe" (almost all somewhat worthy routes will presumably run through austrian territory) i won't order any more caravans to be built in the near future. if you think otherwise speak out loudly, if necessary a poll will come.

Locutus · April 7, 2003, 07:10

I think the route from H Town to Maquiladad would still be worthwhile...

Zaphod Beeblebrox · April 7, 2003, 07:18

yep, you're right, i was so busy checking external trade routes i just didn't notice our own ones.

Devil of Truth · April 7, 2003, 07:57

Erm

... What about the coal from mapfipolis to Maquiladad here.

Locutus · April 7, 2003, 08:01

That's what the two Caravans currently under construction are for:

one problem of course is, that the poll about massive trade vs. selected trade spoke of 2 worthy routes. what a luck its not an official poll and won't have any influence on the game

Gilgamensch · April 7, 2003, 08:13

Can't resist:

Sorry..............

Zaphod Beeblebrox · April 8, 2003, 06:03

as far as i see, the new war won't have any influence on our trade policy, except that construction of caravans might be deprioritized due to need for military units. if you think otherwise speak up here.
