harbor. The harbormaster (whom he also owes money) tells him that his friend
(Camillo) is at the cafe.
In the cafe, Comrade Camillo Stefano (Battle:2 Sail:3 -Celestial Navigation,
Bookkeeping) tells Pietro that Duchess Franco has agreed to pay their debts to work for her. They are suspicions but under the circumstance have no choice.
Camillo has a ship Pietro names the "Falcon" (Caravela Latina). Camillo will
Auto-Sail them to Lisbon where they meet with Christiana.
The Duchess asks them to bring discovery reports to her and she will reward them. Pietro is suspicious and she admits that she also wants them to spy on
Joao and report his condition to her periodically. They agree and she gives them $5000 and takes care of their debts. She also gives him a telescope and sextant that used to belong to Leon Franco.
They go to the shipbuilder and remodel the capacity of the Caravela to minimum crew and max food then take off for the "Saber-toothed Tiger" discovery. Camillo suggests that they head for the Nile river for discoveries, but the faster method is the Tiger. They bring the discoveries to Butler Marco in Lisbon and are rewarded with the $100,000. They use this to purchase a Sloop or LaReal. Bordeaux usually has used Reales for sale.
Don't forget to stock up on Balm while in Bordeaux.
The Nile is a good target for the next voyage. Stop in Athens and pickup some art. Camillo has bookkeeping skills, so use him to bargain with the merchants and shipbuilders.
Next, stock glass beads if possible and sail for Timbukto. Discover any village along the way and trade the beads for Ivory.
Return to Lisbon with the discoveries, then go to Amsterdam in Northern
Europe to sell the cargo and purchase cartographer's skills from Mercator.
Sign a contract with him and stock more glass beads.
Sail for Africa again and sail up the rivers. Stop in Luanda and go into the cafe. A swab will tell Pietro of the "Gold Medallion" and El Dorado then offer to sell a map to the medallion for $2000 gold. Buy the map.
Round the Horn discovering villages along the way and look for the "Dodo" discovery off the east coast of Madagascar. Sail to Sofala and trade the beads for gold and return to Lisbon and Amsterdam.
Start a bank account at the Marco Polo bank ($250,000) on December 8, 1522 and ignore the Governor-General of Italy if you wish to play the fast game.
The Governor will request discoveries, which will take Adventure fame points in return for Italian Rank.
While in Amsterdam, at Mercators', save the game prior to reporting maps, and ask Mercator to :Locate: the map treasure for 2 gold ingots. By saving the game you can write down the location and restart to avoid paying the price.
Find the Medallion and discover villages along the way. Turn in the discoveries and maps to gain fame. Pietro may need to take a trip around
Asia to gain more fame. During this trip, make money by trading at ports and gain fame through maps and discoveries. After finding the medallion, Camillo asks to see it. They admire the workmanship and vow to try to find El
Dorado.
When Pietro reaches 20,395 fame and sail level of 13 on July 28, 1523, he has
$650,000 in the bank. While turning in discoveries, Marco says the Duchess is waiting for him. She introduces him to Joao who requests that he find the
Staff of Poseidon and bring it to Massawa. Joao explains what the Staff is and why he needs it and Pietro accepts the challenge. At the dock, Camillo asks how they will find the Staff and Pietro says that something will happen on the way to Arabia.
At any port in the middle east, at the cafe, the owner will tell them that the Fortune Teller in a port in the back of the Mediterranean (Jaffa,
Alexandria, etc.) can tell them more about the Staff. Pietro can trade goods for gold by stopping by the east African ports to make money.
In the Mediterranean, the Fortune Teller will tell them to return to the middle east, (Shiraz, Hormuz, etc.) and tell the cafe owner that she sent them.
In the middle east, the cafe owner gives them a map (after a long speech) which they can take to a Cartographer and again save the game to find the coordinates of the treasure (if you don't recognize the location on the map.
Pick up the map and any discoveries along the way and bring it to Joao in
Massawa. He will be waiting in the cafe. Pietro asks him for information about El Dorado in return and Joao agrees then exits.
Pietro's sail level is now 14 with fame of 26,070, Jan 1, 1524. Take a few more discovery journeys to build the fame to 40,000+ and sail to 15. The Moa discovery is on Easter Island West of Calico supply port on the west coast of South America and the Moai discovery on New Zealand east of Australia.
At the dock (in Lisbon?), Ali Vezas shows up and tells Pietro that Joao has asked him to find Pietro and tell him that El Dorado may be in the "Golden
Country" of Zipangu (Japan). Pietro decides to go there and see.
In Japan, they must sail to two ports, Nagasaki and Sakai. At the dock in the second port, Ernst Von Bohr shows up and tells them that he has not heard of
El Dorado either, but that their best bet is in South America around the
Equator. In Cayenne, at the dock, an old man (Raul Franco - Leon's father) walks in and falls on the floor. He tells them the story of Neo- Atlantis and that he has been prisoner there for 10 to 15 years. Just before that he had discovered the legendary city of gold "El Dorado". At El Dorado he had taken a medallion and given it to some villagers. Pietro's medallion turns out to be the same one! Raul promises to draw them a map to El Dorado and they take Raul back to Lisbon to the Franco mansion to finish the game.

903 day voyage
I knew there were many wealthy families in Lisbon, but I didn't think there was such a generous one! Duchess Franco hired me and promised to pay off all of my debts. What a chance! It was the deal of a lifetime!
This world is full of liars and con artists. I paid a fortune at a cafe to get a map to El Dorado. I thought it would bring me fabulous riches, but all
I found was one gold medallion. Oh well, at least it paid for the cost of the trip.
The Staff of Poseidon - now that was quite an adventure. I never thought that I would save someone's life until then. When I found it, I was very tempted to sell it to a Turkish lord. I knew it would be worth a lot.
One thing I've learned from my adventures is that life is full of surprises. Take my trip to South America - In search of the land of gold,
I journeyed to the New World. The old man I saved was not only the long lost Raul Franco but also the legendary sailor who discovered El Dorado!
Now that my contract with the Franco family is finally completed, I'm thinking of heading out on a real adventure, going where *I* want to go.
It's a big world out there. I'm sure that there are still magnificent treasures just waiting to be discovered by a guy like me!

Turkish merchant. Grew up as an orphan in poverty. A twist of fate brings him a merchant ship and a chance to make his fortune.
A passerby tells Ali that his friend is looking for him. He goes the cafe to see Ladia and the cafe owner tells him to forget Ladia and go see his friend at the shipyard.
In the shipyard Friend Salim (Jahan - Age: 19 Sail:3 Battle:7 - Celestial
Navigation/Gunnery) tells him that his father's ship was found wreaked in the harbor and that the shipbuilder needs $1000 to repair it. They talk the shipbuilder into repairing the ship and waiting for his money while they start their business. He agrees if they will now pay him $10,000. They agree.
They go to the Harbormaster and the Banker and tell them their plan to go into business and they each loan them $1000 in return for repayment of
$10,000. At the bank, Banker Radino gives them advice on where and how to trade to riches and they withdraw Ali's savings ($1000). At the cafe, Ladia also loans them $1000 for the 10 times repayment. The Lodgekeeper offers to give them "some" money with no need to repay. They have a choice to take it or not. If they choose 'yes', they receive $500 free; if they refuse, he gives them a cat (a very expensive "$2000" gift). No other shopkeeper in town will give them money and they cannot leave town until these things are complete. They wind up with $4000 and owe $40,000.
Next, they have to go to the shipyard to get the ship and Ali names it the
"Savahni" meaning friends. Go back to the shipyard and 'Remodel' -'Load
Capacity' the ship to minimum crew and 0 guns for $240. Now go to the cafe and recruit (10) sailors without treating and 'Assign' 100% of the crew to
Navigation. Go to the Merchant before 8pm and purchase 13 crates of carpet at the lowest price by telling him NO to his first price. Stock up with all the food and water they can get for the money they have left and take off for Athens. Salim can 'Autosail' to Athens fastest.
Ali can trade Carpet from Istanbul with Art from Athens until he gets enough money to buy another ship. He will probably need a small ship first, so check
Athens for a Light Galley. Don't forget to remodel it and add crew.
As soon as possible, $30,000 - $40,000, bring Ladia her $10,000. When this happens, Ladia promises to find out information about Sapha (Ali's sister), also Sultan Sulieman II the Magnificent will be looking for him when he attempts to sail at the dock.
Save the game just before giving Ladia her money so it can be restarted to try for an easy task for the Sultan. Sooner or later he will ask for Art or
Copper or Carpet, so it pays to have copper and carpet on board before entering the palace. Art is easy to get in Athens. Next, pay the shipbuilder and try to purchase a Xebec or Venetian Galeass. He will give Ali some advice after being paid back.
Continue the trade route between Istanbul and Athens and pay back Radino the banker. When you do, he will introduce Ali to Banker Howell - the president of the Marco Polo bank. Last, pay off the Dockmaster. You must have at least $20,000 when you enter the dock, because Pietro Conti will show up and ask for a $10,000 loan also. He tells his story and that his sponsor is Duchess Franco in Lisbon, then leaves.
This pays off all Ali's creditors. He must now increase his merchant fame by allying ports for Turkey. The Sultan will ultimately ask for additional favors (small lots of exotic goods or alliances with other ports). Sail level:3 -Merchant fame: 2500 on June 27, 1522. He has 500 crates of carpet on a Xebec and $40,000.
Just before Ali's second royal title, the Sultan says, "I wish to see you on some particular business". The Sultan will explain Turkey's roll in the world picture and request that Ali expands the Ottoman empire with alliances.
To do this, he gives Ali (50) gold ingots ($500,000) and a free Tax-Free permit for the Ottoman.
When Ali makes alliances with (2) ports, the Sultan requests his presence.
The Sultan's requests are good ways to add to Ali's Merchant Fame.
December 28, 1522
Sail:7 Rank:Baron Merchant Fame: 13,142 Gold: 100 ingots +
Approximately the next trip to Istanbul, the dockmaster tells Ali that Ladia has a new boyfriend. They go the cafe and Ladia introduces Joao Franco. He says he has a piratess after him named Catalina. Ali volunteers to replace his sail with Joao's to throw Catalina off if Joao will look for Sapha. He agrees and they leave. Catalina accosts him outside the port, but lets him go when she realizes that he is not Joao.
After several alliances, the dockmaster says that Ladia has something to talk to him about. He goes to the cafe and Ladia says that Joao has left word that Sapha is in Basra. Ali must go to Basra and talk to Sapha, but he can't convince her to come to Istanbul with them and that he is her brother.
Salim falls head over heels for her and they leave and travel back to
Istanbul to tell Ladia.
Next, the dockmaster in Istanbul tells Ali that Radino the Banker is looking for him. In the bank in Istanbul, he tells Ali that he has been transferred to the head office and must go the Venice. He wishes Ali and crew to take him there. They agree and at the bank in Venice, they meet Howell again.
Howell tells them that he has loaned Pietro Conti some money and he wants
Ali to get it back. Pietro also owes Ali some money so they agree to find him and collect. They must go to Lisbon and talk to Duchess Franco to find out where Pietro is. She gives them 60,000 - 80,000 gold for telling her about Joao and then tells them that Pietro is in Zipangu (Sakia).
When they return to Venice, the bank will take 40 of the 210 ingots given to
(Camillo) is at the cafe.
In the cafe, Comrade Camillo Stefano (Battle:2 Sail:3 -Celestial Navigation,
Bookkeeping) tells Pietro that Duchess Franco has agreed to pay their debts to work for her. They are suspicions but under the circumstance have no choice.
Camillo has a ship Pietro names the "Falcon" (Caravela Latina). Camillo will
