RedKnight, don't take this the wrong way, but with those players, you are way in over your head.
I have been playing trade wars since the original. Played Yankee Trader even. Just have not played it since the the mid nineties. I actually used to run one of the largest MajorBBSs in Northern Califronia. I am also a Systems Engineer, and am very capable of learning "tactics" so I am sorry its hard not to take that statement the wrong way. Thats why I asked how it was done. To learn. Do not take this the wrong way but it sounds like you have way to much time on your hands and can sit around and play video games all day. I on the other hand have a family, and work, and have to learn by research. Iam sure most advanced "tactics" were learned from others, rather than everyone independently coming up with them on their own.Now for a game that needs players to be fun, I do not know why most players discourage. the advancement of other players.
hmm, I do not see anything in my statement that would indicate an implication of your inability to learn, nor any other implication other than you do not stand a chance in that game against those particular players. I do not know of very many solo players that would be able to do more than be a nuisance in that game.
Since this is not a forum for smack talk, I will not respond to the remainder of the post, however if you would like to move it to that forum, I would be more than happy to respond in a manner that befits someone of your lofty "Systems Engineer" position.
