Once you have clicked on the link, you should see this screen.



With the card you can :

• Move it
  
• Expand it
  
• Reduce it

You also have two clickable buttons in the upper left corner.



These are the map options

• Green (default): Searching for goods in the ports / a goods usage Calculator
  
• Purple: The map showing the possible locations of treasures in the game

I lost the hosting and data of the website, but I managed to retrieve an old version with the Wayback Machine. I will update it with this part soon.
The game setup interface only shows you the number of towns per nation?
No problem!



You can click on each date to display the town distribution for each nation on the map.

When you arrive on the page (or when you click on the green button), you have this menu that opens.



This is the search menu. Clicking on one of the resource icons will colorize it and display several information:

• Ports where this resource is manufactured
  
• Ports where goods are made that require this resource (and which do not produce the resource)
  
• If the resource is necessary in the elaboration of other goods, the menu expands to give you the associated recipes

Example speaks better than 1000 words ...

Let us imagine that we are proud and strong lumberjacks. Our stocks are getting bigger and bigger, to the point where the storekeeper sounds the alarm.

I click on the wood icon.



OK, we can do tools, metal and rum!

Let's look at the map to see which ports produce wood like we do, and which ports need it and don't have it.



I'll be able to create a trade route that goes to all those ports marked in yellow ... the problem is that I do not know all the Caribbean.

Don't panic, by placing mouse on a port of the map, a small window opens and gives me the name and the goods that the city manufactures.

Following a request, I have added this section which allows to calculate the consumption of a city for a given number of inhabitants during a given period.



Just enter the number of inhabitants and the number of days and press the 'Calculate Demand' button.

Note that this is an estimate, the exact number will depend on prosperity and certain climatic and health events.

I knew that giving money to a stranger for a piece of paper would be useful!

But where is this coast, I remind you that I do not know all the Caribbean!

This is where the purple button comes in handy. It displays an alternative map with the positions of the treasures.



And Voilà!

Thank you for being here. Note that this is not my native language and I may cut some sentences with a sword.

Feel free to give me feedback. I will try to add features, modifications.
