Chapter 20 - The Loss of Coffee
Good news and bad news. We are the ones with the dissemination of the coffee plant which drops it’s value, but we get thousands of ducats. I order some more plantations.
1 Feb, 1599 –
Unami – Tobacco, I order a plantation here, 5 dev, 0.11 made here.
We have gained the trading in Tobacco boost.
I send them to the next door holding of Conoy, which is connects us from Manhattan to Chesapeake
1 Mar –
Maracaibo – 5 dev, 0.35 , made, Sugar, grasslands, tropical
I have two new targets of expansion – Karankawa, north on Galveston Bay which I’ll set up and leave, and Chitimacha, the delta of the Mississippi, which another small tribe just moved out of. I want to lock it in as it’s one of the best remaining holdings and an obvious spot of expansion.
Rebels in Essequibo
22 Mar – Put down!
2 June – I pull colonists and send them to Massachusetts, another major holding here
My goal is to try and remove obvious ports of starting. Castille has been focused laserly on Africa, and Portugal Brazil and the Caribbean. England and others could easily loop over and try to set up shop there, so I need to remove the best targets off the map.

Delaware – coastal, coastline, 10 dev, 0.12 made here
