this Campaign is thought of as an introductory Campaign.
you begin as a small shopkeeper in Luebeck and have to advance to a patrician in Luebeck within four years.
during the Campaign, you will receive hints and instructions, in the form of personal news,on how best to achieve your aims.
you now have a year to rise from shopkeeper to trader.
Luebeck's strengths lie in fishing and the production of iron goods.
wood and bricks are also produced there, so you shouldn't have any problems constructing new buildings.
on the other hand, Luebeck only produces a little grain and no beer at all.
so first of all, you should concentrate on getting beer from Stettin or Gdansk.
you can also go to Hamburg or Bremen, but they are both further away.
Gdansk is always short of iron goods and sometimes of fish too.
Stettin also urgently need iron goods.
make sure that you don't pay too much for the goods.
the limits are around 450 for fish 450 for iron goods and 50 for beer.
because trade in iron goods is important,you should ensure that there is always enough pig iron in Luebeck,as this raw material cannot be produced here.
this is however produced in Oslo, for instance.
this town is also an appreciative buyer of grain, iron goods and beer.
However, you should always sell as many goods to Luebeck as possible,as this is the quickest way to increase your recognition,so that your advancement to trader status will not take too long.
Incidentally, don't start producing any buildings ships yet.
we can come back to that once you have achieved trader status.
