本攻略主要针对经济贸易的：

1. Start a Free Game as Portugal since they are closest to India. Arcade battles (fastest ships), captain experience per money changed to 2.0.

由于更靠近印度，以葡萄牙的自由游戏模式开始。

2. DON'T click to turn starting mini-tutorial off.

不关闭教程指示

3. Do as tutorial says, start building a Schooner (strong and fast ship, perfect for trading with India), add your Cutter to a Fleet.

依教程说，开始造一艘纵帆船，因为这种船比较善于到印度贸易，将你的Cutter（武装快艇）组成一个舰队。

4. Go to the ledger, trade information and check prices. Send your Cutter for Gold or Diamonds depending what pays better (both goods aren't sold in tons but in carats and kilos which means Cutter can load lots of it despite tiny cargo hold). Do not automate this ship, it's your personal fleet to trade valuables and run errands, you should add more light ships (Sloops preferably) to it and later migrate it to something fast but also tough, preferably Xebecs.

将你的cutter单独到黄金，钻石利润高的地方拉货。这艘船不要自动贸易。你可以适当的添加一些轻快的船只，如小帆船Sloops ，到后面优选小型三桅帆船Xebecs。

5. When your Schooner is ready, create another fleet with this ship in it, look for a better captain (you want Hagglers and Navigators). Send that fleet to Cochin manually.

当你的纵帆船造好了后，组队，选个擅长砍价或航海的船长，手动控制去印度港口Cochin拉货。

6. Keep manually trading with Africa using your Cutter until your Schooner reaches India.

一直手动控制你的cutter舰队，直到纵帆船舰队到达印度。

7. When your first ship hits India, you will get 50k for completing the mini-tutorial, load your Schooner with Tea and if you have enough cash left (if you traded well using your Cutter, you should) start building your second Schooner. You might be tempted to build two if you have more than 25k left but don't do it yet. This is the moment when you want to automate your India Schooner.

第一次到印度，会获得奖励5万美金，然后你就满载茶叶而归，同时立马开造第二艘纵帆船。要注意留点现金，不要急着造第三艘schooner。

8. When your Schooner goes back home, add second Schooner to the fleet (need to wait for the right moment if he's automated to enter your port). Send them for Spices this time, preferably Goa (not Bombay due to plague outbreak which happens there soon). This is where you will employ that extra 25k you had left from not building a Schooner, you will invest it in Spices and earn more than on Tea.

当schooner舰队回来后，将新造好的第二艘schooner加入舰队，并开始自动做香料生意，首选Goa。

香料的利润很大，这回现金派上用场了。

9. Your priority before 1615 is to have four fleets of 5x Schooner going to India and bringing back all four MTIs from there. Don't stop trading with your Cutter though, Diamond and Gold runs if done manually really make a difference. Also keep looking for better captains. You are interested in four skills really, 5% cheaper buying, 5% better selling, 20% faster navigation on strategic level and better organization, 20% more goods on ships.

最好在1616年前有4个5×schooner的舰队来回于印度做MTI生意，同时你的小Cutter也不停的运黄金之类，这个手动操作即可。同时寻找好的船长。

10. Do not approach AI companies at all. They will approach you themselves and will pay you hefty sums of cash for Pacts with them.

根本不需要接触其他公司。因为他们会来跟你套关系。

11. Once your four fleets are all ready and trading and your captains are cool, unlock Galleon and build five of them. Load them with Marines and send them on conquest. You want to conquer ports with Spices and Tea first, Cochin and Goa are perfect for that, especially that they are next to each other so easier to defend. If you are lucky your 5 Galleons will be enough to get both with losses of one or two ships and lots of men. Send Galleons back to Europe and start upgrading Garrisons in India right away.

一旦你的舰队到了四艘以后，将大帆船解锁，然后造五艘西班牙大帆船，载满士兵，去占领香料，茶叶的港口，首选Cochin 和 Goa 。

记住升级印度港口的驻守站，这样以后可以在那招兵。

12. In Europe, start gathering Iron Wares, you want to load 500 on your Galleons for their second trip to India (sell Marines) so you can upgrade all Forts there to level 2, all Trade Posts to level 3 and also Garrisons to level 3. You want one good level 3 shipyard in India as well.

在欧洲，开始收集铁器，因为这是港口升级必须的。运个500吨铁器到印度就差不多了。在印度的港口，注意升级要塞到2级，交易所到3级，驻守站到3级，还要有个好的3级船厂。

13. Unload tools, upgrade your Indian infrastructure and load Marines (can do it in ports with Garrison level 2). You can conquer more ports now, I try to own 2x Spice, 2x Tea ports and 1x Silk 1x Porcelain. If AI snatches a port you wanted, conquer some other port and go to diplomacy to exchange it for the one they hold.

多征服些印度港口，也可以征服其他港口，可以用以和其他公司交换港口。

14. Ignore conquest in Africa for now. Prices there will quickly plummet under the level of profit and the port will cost more in upkeep than earn in trade.

由于忽略了在非洲的征服，利润会下降很快，加上港口的维护费用会赶超贸易中所挣的钱。

15. To control AIs, keep 5x Galleons in India at all time loaded with Marines and ready to interfere if something goes wrong. Don't let any single AI hold more than two ports there and even those with two ports you want to attack and give one of their ports to someone else. Optimal situation is each AI having one port in India only and the rest to be held by you.

为了控制其他公司的发展，在印度要时常保持5艘西班牙大帆船在那作战。不让其他公司拥有超过两个港口。最佳的情形是，其他公司在印度各自最多拥有一个港口。其他的都是你的。

16. After that the world is yours. Migrate your India convoys from Schooners to 4x Galleon and 1x Frigate (Frigate unlocks 1630 and it's around that time already). Migrate your manual errand fleet to 5x Xebec. Migrate your Indian defensive fleet to 5x Frigate and prepare another 5x Frigate at home to conquer more ports all over the world and hunt enemy navies or Pirates down.

在那以后，这个世界就是你的了。将去印度的贸易船从schooners变成4艘西班牙大帆船加一艘护卫舰。将你的cutter变成5艘Xebec，在印度洋的战舰也升级到护卫舰，同时家里准备着一只护卫舰舰队。

17. Kill off your enemies starting with most powerful ones. Cut them off from goods in India (gift their port there to someone else right after conquering and keep your own ports extremely secure) and see them sink financially over next few years until they either are very weak or completely bankrupt.

征服你敌人中最强的一个。切断他的印度商贸，让他经济衰退，直至他倒闭。

- Start building a Schooner (there's no better ship on that list) and in the meantime (takes 4 months) send the free Cutter to Africa to buy Diamonds
