Are there any Pirate nation trade companies? If not, are there any clans from amongst the pirates that don't require TS for joining? I wouldn't mind joining the dark side =)

Yea another TS oriented clan.. not my thing.. neither is it a trade focused clan

Im starting to think its useless to have a trade clan.. game is not designed for trading.. I alone can exploit every market throughout the map if i play for an entire day. So 2 ppl can share the map markets between themselves.. but an entire clan.. what use is there in a trader when he wont make profit because his entire clan is eating up his advice? Although ive already amassed a fortune.. this 100k for forming clan will be put into better use once new trade features are developed.. Until then.. its more profitable to be your own rather than form/join a clan for trading.

Sad to see no clan action on PVP2.. we must be the forgotten ones...

In PVP 2 Dutch are trade partners (allied) with Danes and Swedes.. not sure about United States since we never met any of them

Are there any on pVP 2?

Would be nice to see official trading companies in game.. they can be established in certain regions of the islands where each specializes in particular produces and the players take charge of import & export to the old world. High ranked admirals could assign several NPC line ships to protect against enemy attacks.. on the other hand.. enemies willing to risk their ships for this trading fleet could end up with loot more valuable than 10 of their ships put together! Also would be nice if Spanish nation could do both trading companies as well as treasure fleets from the Maine to the old world and NPC's assisting the player admirals would be much tougher than regular trade fleet NPC's.

Would be nice to see on each port instead of the blue solid background color.. a custom still-live screen of the port; similar to Age of Empires III home city and how it is still but also live and some wind movement / people movement. Each island can have a different set of appearance in the port background screen; but each port based on its own development and size can show how whether it is packed with buildings or a minor port with few buildings showing in the back.. and on this port screen players can trade, use all the current port interface. http://www.ageofempires.co.nz/images/aoe3/screenshots/French_World_Trade.jpg http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/7/74/AoE3SevilleTurquoise.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101016115922 http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/b/b2/Londonevening.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071109140324 http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/b/b2/Londonevening.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071109140324 http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/645/645630/age-of-empires-iii-20050825052652310-000.jpg
