Your objective is simple: make +the most money possible by trading and pirating. Based out of Hong Kong, +you'll sail from harbor to harbor buying commodities including opium, +silk, arms, and "general" goods, and selling them again at a higher +price elsewhere. + +WWW: http://freshmeat.net/projects/taipan/ |
