New save system.
VDM keeps the data separate from the main saves in a folder VDM_saves. This will protect saves from damage and ensures their autonomy.
Slave trade.
To start trading, you need to open the cover of the governor of America and the press "?" button. Similarly, the trade can be stopped.
Conditions for trade:
- The availability of trade ships in the trade areas in West Africa.
- The presence of colonies in America, where there are plantations.
Each trade ship brings 40 slaves per turn. The slaves are distributed between the colonies in proportion to the number of plantations. Each turn, the number of slaves on the each plantation reduced by 50. The maximum number of slaves in the colony depends on the number and level of plantations. One level of the plantation allows you to keep 1000 slaves. Number of slaves can be seen in the region panel. Each level of the plantation brings 500 coins. Accordingly, income is calculated as follows: number of slaves * 500 / 1000. Each turn you will receive a report on the income from the slave trade. If the plantation is damaged, the influx of slaves ceases.
Conspiracies.
Now ministers have a set of features that shape their attitude to the leader. If the ratio is poor, the minister may start a conspiracy against the ruler. If the plot succeeds, the ruler dies. New ruler will get Stability:-3.
Probability plot for one minister is 6%, ie the maximum probability plot - 30%. To enter the conspiracy mode, open the Minister of Justice panel and click the "?" button. To exit, open the ruler panel and click on "?" button. Ministers receive features depending on the events, their political views and characteristics of the ruler.
