PORT ROAYLE 2 STRATEGY GUIDE AND WALKTHROUGH
BY: NIC PEUMP, Version 1.0
I. INTRODUCTION:
I am writing this guide due to fact there were almost no documentations written
on this great game. I have played this game exclusively for going on 5 months.
I have beat it in everyway possible. I believe I know more than anyone can
about this game. I hope you all can take something away from my guide. Thank
you very much for checking it out.

IV. GUIDE TO MAKING MONEY:
You will want to start your game with the city of SAN JUAN. The key thing to
remember when picking a starting city is to take into account its surrounding
towns. Take a look at what they have to offer to help you produce your
manufactured goods, Which are your primary money maker. In the city of San Juan
those goods are MEAT and RUM. Another reasonSAN JUAN is a good choice is that
it produces both WOOD and BRICK. Try to avoid picking aSPAINISH starting city
as you will need to pray on SPAINISH ships later on in the game. If a country's
opionion of you drops to below UNPOPULAR they will start seizing businesses and
WAREHOUSES you have in their towns. ST. AUGUSTINE is a difficult city to get up
and going eary on due to its location and the lack of any nearby partner
cities. TURK ISLANDS is a moderately difficult choice. It has a great location
but HOLLAND is a very weak nation starting with only 7 towns. So in this Guide
I will tell you how to make money with SAN JUAN.
IV.I. SAN JUAN:
To start out we will want to pick "SAN JUAN" as our start town, Also pick
"ACCUARCY" as your special ability (you will see why later on), And lastly pick
"SHIP" as you starting level. you will get a Brig and 30K, to start out with.
SAN JUAN produces: PRODUCE, WOOD, BRICK, MEAT, and RUM.
IV.II. GETTING STARTED:
Before anything click on the WAREHOUSE in SAN JUAN, Click on the "BUY ITEMS"
button. (A left pointing arrow with a + sign on it). Set it as so that you buy
the following: 10 PRODUCE at <96, 30 WOOD at <96, 30 BRICK at <96g,
20 MEAT at <360, 20 RUM at <360, 10 WINE at <600, 10 SPICES at <600, and
10 TOOLS at <600. NOTE: We will be raising the maximum levels later on in the
game to keep up with supply and demand.
IV.III. 1ST TRADE ROUTE:
As soon as you have enough cargo load your BRIG with the following: 10 PRODUCE,
20 MEAT, 20 RUM, 10 WINE, 10 SPICES, and 10 TOOLS. For a total of 80 tons of
cargo. Set sail for ST. THOME, Unload all the cargo you can at ST. THOME for no
less than the following: PRODUCE at >100, MEAT >400, RUM >400, WINE >700,
SPICES >700, and TOOLS >750. TOOLS have higher demand in towns that produce
COCOA, TOBACCO, LYE, and COFFEE. Thus earning you more money, so hold off on
selling them cheap there.
All the cargo you can not sell here we will save for our next town. While at
ST. THOME Load all the SUGAR you can get for <125. If you have avalible cargo
space fill it up with all the TOBACCO you can get for <190. If you still have
cargo space fill it off with all the COTTON you can get for <125. We will now
set sail for ST. KITTS, Unload the same as you did before for the same prices
as before. While here fill up your cargo hold with allthe CORN you can buy for
<125. With any remaining cargo space fill it up with HEMP for <125 and COCOA
for <190. If you have sold off all your cargo return to SAN JUAN. If you have
not yet sold off all of your original cargo, ( The PRODUCE, MEAT, RUM, WINE,
SPICES,and TOOLS) stop by SANTO DOMINGO and sell off the rest regardless of
price. As you will not get nearly what you paid for them if you take them back
to SAN JUAN. If you create cargo space fill it up with WHEAT but only if you
can get it for <96, Otherwise just return to SAN JUAN with empty space.
You will notice our mission of that voyage was to gather the raw goods needed
to produce SAN JUAN'S manufactured goods MEAT and RUM as they will fetch a high
price. When you arrive back at SAN JUAN unload all of your cargo into your
WAREHOUSE. Click on your WAREHOUSE, Then click on the "SELL ITEMS" button.
(The right pointing arrow with a - sign on it) Set it as so you sell the
following: max CORN at >150, and max SUGAR at >150.
IF you loaded any of the other goods mentioned sell them at: max WHEAT at >100,
max COTTON at >150, max HEMP at >150, max TOBACCO at >200, and
max COCOA at >200.
We would rather sell them through the WAREHOUSE rather than visiting the dock,
The WAREHOUSE will sell at the exact time the price of a certain good meets
your sell criteria and buying is the same way. That is to assure you will get
the best possbile price for a good even when you are not at the given port.
For our next voyage we will load up the same goods we did for a our voyage
prior. This time set sail for ST. MARTIN. When there sell goods with the same
criteria as before. Also, load the same goods as before, SUGAR for <125 and to
fill the cargo hold if neccesary load COTTON for <125. From ST. MARTIN sail to
ANTIGUA. Once in ANTIGUA sell the same goods as usual and load CORN for <125
and with any cargo room left load HEMP for <125 and COCOA for <190. Sail back
to SAN JUAN if you have sold off all your goods, if not you can sell to
SANTO DOMINGO and sell off your original cargo.
Continue this strategy until your Captain has enough experience points to sail
on his own. You may then adjust the settings in your WAREHOUSE in SAN JUAN to
double its current buying production: 20 PRODUCE, 60 WOOD, 60 BRICK, 40 MEAT,
40 RUM, 20 WINE, 20 SPICES, and 20 TOOLS.Granted that you have enough capital
from continuing the trade route manually until you have stockpiled at least 75K
in your pocket. Before setting the trade route buy another BRIG so we may now
transport 160 tonnes of cargo as opposed to our usual 80 tonnes. Set his trade
route the same way we did ours before:
SAN JUAN: *Unload: max everything
Load: 20 PRODUCE, 40 MEAT, 40 RUM, 20 WINE, 20 SPICES, and
20 TOOLS.
ST. THOME: Unload: max PRODUCE at >100, max MEAT at >400, max RUM at >400,
max WINE at >700g, max SPICES at >700g, and
max TOOLS at >750.
Load: max SUGAR at <125.
**If Neccesary: max COTTON at <125 and max TOBACCO at <190.
ST. KITTS: Unload: max PRODUCE at >100, max MEAT at >400, max RUM at >400,
max WINE at >700, max SPICES at >700,
max TOOLS at >750,
***max COTTON at >150, and max TOBACCO at >200.
Load: max CORN at <125.
**If Neccesary: max HEMP at <125 and max COCOA at <190.
SANTO DOMINGO: Unload: max PRODUCE at >100, max MEAT at >400, max RUM at >400,
max WINE at >700, max SPICES at >700,
max TOOLS at >750,
***max COTTON at >150, max TOBACCO at >200,
max HEMP at >150, and max COCOA at >200.
Load: max SUGAR at <125 and WHEAT at <96.
ST. MARTIN: Unload: max PRODUCE at >100, max MEAT at >400, max RUM at >400,
max WINE at >700, max SPICES at >700,
max TOOLS at >750,
***max HEMP at >150 and max COCOA at >200.
Load: max SUGAR at <125.
**If neccesary: max COTTON at <125 and max TOBACCO at <190.
ANTIGUA: Unload: max PRODUCE at >100, max MEAT at >400, max RUM at >400,
max WINE at >700, max SPICES at >700,
max TOOLS at >750,
***max COTTON at >150 and max TOBACCO at >200.
Load: max CORN at <125.
**If neccesary: max HEMP at <125 and max COCOA at <190.
SANTO DOMINGO: Unload: max PRODUCE at >100, max MEAT at >400, max RUM at >400,
max WINE at >700, max SPICES at >700,
max TOOLS at >750,
***max COTTON at >150, max TOBACCO at >200,
max HEMP at >150 and max COCOA at >200.
Load: max SUGAR at <125 and WHEAT at <96.
NOTE:
Keep in mind whenever planning a trade route always have settlers in the
"CAPTAIN TRADING" window and all items that we are not trading in the
"NO TRADING" window.
*We want to unload it all into the warehouse as to be able to better control
the price of goods that are sold in SAN JUAN.
**If you cannot fill the ship(s) cargo holds with the suggested goods feel free
to load extra COCOA, HEMP, TOBACCO, and COTTON. Towns that do not produce such
goods may pay quite a bit for them. example: ST. MARTIN and ST THOME do not
produce HEMP or COCOA, They will pay more for them than ST. KITTS and ANTIGUA
who do produce them and the same works for other goods as well.
***If you have loaded COTTON AND TOBACCO in ST. THOME as well as HEMP and COCOA
in ST. KITTS we will then have them on the ship so we can see if we cant get
any money them in ST. KITTS and SANTO DOMINGO. Remember we need the SUGAR and
the CORN in SAN JUAN so do not sell them off anywhere else.
This trade route will take 16 days to complete if you factor in ship repair
time. Use this format when creating your trade route as it is a proven way to
make you money. After about 15 to 20 trips around the trade route you should
have inproved your trade record in the 5 towns we are frequenting to 100%
purchase a warehouse in each town and we will later discuss what to do with
them. For now just sit back and let the money come pouring in (About 5 - 15K
each turn).
IV.IV. MISSIONS:
Throughout Port Royale 2 you will be able to do missions for all 4 of the
Nations as well as missions for gentlemen at the local inns thoughout the 61
towns. Governors will give you such missions as: rescuing their daughter from
pirates, Tracking down there personal notes, Building certain buildings in a
town, delivering certians goods and so on. Gentlemen at inns will give you such
missions as: delivering them to certain cities, bringing them certain goods,
and sinking certain pirate ships.
In Port Royale 2 missions are rather secondary to the actual game play than the
trading is. I would recommend to not do missions unless you can spare a ship
and are waiting to accumlate more money from your automatic trade route(s).
Later on in this guide we will dicuss Viceroy missions in the "WAR!!!" chapter
the rewards for Viceory missions are far greater than any reward you will get
in Port Royale 2.
IV.V. BUSINESSES AND MANAGING YOUR WAREHOUSE'S:
By now in your game you should have around 200K it may take you a little while
to accumulate that much money. We will start out by building up SAN JUAN.
Remeber how we had purchased 30 WOOD and 30 BRICK and did not load it on a ship
to be sold? Well we will use it now. First build 1 SAWMILL to produce you 2.5
WOOD everyday and also build 1 BRICKWORKS to produce you 2.5 BRICK everyday.
We will start out slowly, let the game go until you have again stock piled both
60 WOOD and 60 BRICK in your WAREHOUSE. Build 2 HOUSES to house your workers
that will be working in your SAWMILL and BRICKWORKS. Wait again until your
stockpile is full of 60 WOOD and 60 BRICK. Again Build 1 SAWMILL and 1
BRICKWORKS. Now you will have 4 businesses producing you with a total of 5 WOOD
per day and 5 BRICK per day. You must Then again repeat by building 2 HOUSES.
Repeat this process until you have a total of 4 SAWMILLS, 4 BRICKWORKS, and 8
HOUSES. If all 8 of your houses fill up there maximum of 960 people you should
be making enough money to pay the building taxes on your 8 businesses. After 12
days you should have 120 WOOD and 120 BRICK. With those materials build a
CATTLE FARM and a RUM DISTILLERY. Build 2 houses as soon as you have the
avalible material. You may by now cancel your buying of WOOD and BRICK as you
produce enough to sustain yourself. Please note that we should not build any
businesses unless we have a buffer of say 150K, that way we can change our
startegy if we start to lose money. As you will soon be building more
WAREHOUSES we will be building up your WOOD and BRICK resources. Back to our
CATTLE FARM and RUM DISTILLERY. We have so far built 1 of each which will
produce us 1 MEAT and 1 RUM per day. We will repeat this process until we have
3 of each CATTLE FARMS and RUM DISTILLERIES. Do not forget to build a HOUSE for
every business you build. HOUSES will earn you revenue so it would be a good
idea since you are already paying taxes on your business to get some of that
money back through rent. Since our trade route takes 16 days to complete it is
safe to say that 16 days worth of production will produce you with:
3 x 16 = 48 of each MEAT and RUM. That also means you must be providing your
WAREHOUSEwith 48 of each CORN and SUGAR. You may to purchase another ship
preferbly a FLUTE SHIP. Let us review what are businesses are making us each
day:
3 MEAT, 3 RUM, 10 WOOD, and 10 BRICK.
Per trade route evalution:
48 MEAT, 48 RUM, 160 WOOD, and 160 BRICK.
We may now stop buying WOOD, BRICK, MEAT, and RUM. Since we now produce enough
of our own resources to sustain our current trade route. We should also start
trading some of our WOOD and BRICK. Lets Add 30 WOOD and 30 BRICK to our trade
route. It would also be a good idea to build a 2ND and perhaps even a 3RD
WAREHOUSE if you so deem neccesary.
Our trading sucess should by now be up to 100% in most our the towns along our
trade route. we should be at least a boatswain by now possibly higher, For the
sake of the guide we will only need to be able to hold 2 permits as well as the
1 we hold in SAN JUAN. We will buy our second permit in SANTO DOMINGO.
IV.V.I. SANTO DOMINGO:
In SANTO DOMINGO we will buy a permit and build a WAREHOUSE. Once our WAREHOUSE
is completed add an additional 30 WOOD and 30 BRICK to our trade route. Do not
let the WOOD or BRICK be sold at any other town. Have the trade route deliver
the total of 60 WOOD and 60 BRICK to our WAREHOUSE in SANTO DOMINGO. When our
WAREHOUSE in SANTO DOMINGO has a total 300 of each WOOD and BRICK we will build
2 SUGAR PLANTATIONS, 2 WHEAT FARMS and 1 TOBACCO PLANTATION. Also build 5
HOUSES for our workers to live. Set the "SELL ITEMS" setting in the WAREHOUSE
to sell all WHEAT and SUGAR that surpasses 300tonnes. We do this by setting the
minimum to 300 and the sell price to >64 on WHEAT and to >80 on SUGAR. Sell all
TOBACCO that surpasses 150tonnes. Set the sell price to >120. TOBACCO requires
TOOLS to be produced, So lets make it so our trade route carries 10 more tools
than it currently does and drop them off in the SANTO DOMINGO WAREHOUSE. Lets
set our trade route accordingly to account for loading our goods from the
SANTO DOMINGO WAREHOUSE and not the dock. Currently we are producing the
following each day in SANTO DOMINGO:
5 WHEAT, 4 SUGAR, and 2 TOBACCO.
Per trade route evalution:
80 WHEAT, 64 SUGAR, and 32 TOBACCO.
We need only drop off 4 TOOLS per time around as 1 TOOLS will produce 10
TOBACCO. SUGAR is important to our trade route because it is neccessary for our
production of RUM. SANTO DOMINGO is good for now let us move on to obtaining
our next neccessary cargo and permit number 3.
IV.V.II. ANTIGUA:
In ANTIGUA we will buy a permit and build a WAREHOUSE. We will do the same
thing we did with SANTO DOMINGO and transport 60 WOOD and 60 BRICK to our
WAREHOUSE upon its completion. Only build in ANTIGUA when you have a safe
buffer of 150K in the bank When we again reach 300 of each WOOD and BRICK we
will build 2 CORN FARMS, 2 HEMP FARMS and 1 COCOA PLANTATION. Yet again do not
forget to build 5 HOUSES for your workers to live. We will set our WAREHOUSE
the same way. Set the minimum to 300 on both CORN and HEMP and set the minimum
price to >150 for COCOA. Sell CORN for >80 and HEMP for >80,
Set COCOA for >120.COCOA requires that 4 TOOLS be dropped off in the WAREHOUSE
so adjust our trade route accordingly. Currently we are producing the following
each day in ANTIGUA:
4 CORN, 4 HEMP, and 2 COCOA.
Per trade route evalution:
64 CORN, 64 HEMP, and 32 COCOA.
We are now producing enough of our own SUGAR and CORN to sustain our
CATTLE FARM and RUM DISTILLERY. (Our money makers) All the left over CORN and
SUGAR that we transport to SAN JUAN that is not used in our MEAT and RUM
production shall be sold off at our WAREHOUSE in SAN JUAN. Set our SAN JUAN
WAREHOUSE accordingly to sell off all CORN and SUGAR that surpasses 300 in the
WAREHOUSE both for >80.
IV.VI. SHIPS:
Our ideal trading convoy should consist of: 2 TRADING FLUTE SHIPS and 2
FLUTE SHIPS.Between those 4 ships we can transport 900tonnes of cargo more than
enough to sustain the 6 towns on our trade route. With a daily operating cost
of 160 gold per day we will pay only 2560 gold per trade route evalution. It is
ideal much later on in the game as our towns grow to have 10 TRADING FLUTE
SHIPS per each convoy. With a total cargo hold of 2500 tonnes it is perfect
for transporting large sums of cargo between Governor and Viceroy towns.
Our Ideal Military Convoy should consist of 2 SHIP OF THE LINES, 3 WAR
GALLEONS,and 2 CARAVELS. We may only have 5 war ships at a time but it is good
to have trade ships full of sailors and cannons just in the rare case you lose
some in a sea battle. Keep in mind you may only capture these ships you cannot
buy them.To start out have a Military convoy of MILITARY FRIGATES and MILITARY
CORVETTES and capture the big Warships later on.
IV.VII. GRAND BAHAMA AND 2ND TRADE ROUTE:
GRAND BAHAMA the DUTCH Viceroy town. If you have noticed the 2 Manufactured
goods that GRAND BAHAMA produces are the exact opposite of SAN JUAN, Making
them perfect partner cities. We must build a second convoy. Be sure to have a
substantial buffer approximatly 1mil. With our second convoy we will load our
ships with the extra supply's our WAREHOUSE is producing. That 8 MEAT and 8 RUM
extra we produce every 16 days. As well as the 100 WOOD and 100 BRICK we are no
longer utilizing. If we have any spare COTTON or HEMP we must load it as
GRAND BAHAMA greatly demands them both for its production of CLOTHES and ROPE.
Our convoy should be 2 TRADING FLUTE SHIPS and 2 FLUTE SHIPS. (If TRADING FLUTE
SHIPS are unavalible 4 FLUTE SHIPS will do just fine) After 32 days we should
have an extra 200 WOOD, 200 BRICK, 16 MEAT, 16 RUM and countless COTTON and
HEMP. Load the ships of those 6 cargo items and we will set sail for
GRAND BAHAMA.
When in GRAND BAHAMA visit the church and donate 500k that will automatically
raise our trade record to 50% and visit the cities General and donate him all
the money he will except. This should raise our trade record to around 60 to
70%. Sell all the cargo we have regardless of the price. This will slowly but
surely raise our trade record there. Do not ever let our funds drop below 500k.
Continue loading extra cargo in SAN JUAN and selling it to GRAND BAHAMA until
we are able to purchase a permit there.
Once we have attained a permit we will build a WAREHOUSE. Set the "BUY ITEMS"
settings to be as follows: 100 WHEAT at <96, 100 PRODUCE at <96, 100 CLOTHES at
<360, 100 ROPE at <360, 60 WINE at <600, 60 SPICES at <600, and
60 TOOLS at <600.
We will now develop our 2ND trade route. Our 2ND Captain should by now after
all the trading between SAN JUAN and GRAND BAHAMA have enough experience to
have his own trade route. Set you trade route as follows:
GRAND BAHAMA: Unload: max everything
Load: 100 WHEAT, 100 PRODUCE, 100 CLOTHES, 100 ROPE, 60 WINE,
60 SPICES, and 60 TOOLS.

max CLOTHES at >400, max ROPE at >400,
max WINE at >700, max SPICES at >700, and
max TOOLS at >750.
Load: max LYE at <190.

max SPICES at >700, and max TOOLS at >750.
Load: max PRODUCE at <96, max CORN at <125, and
max SUGAR at <125.
This trade route will take 14 days to complete. This trade route as well as the
other trade route should generate enough money to fund a small military navy to
quelch pesky pirates. By now we should have high enough of rank to hold at
least 6 permits. as of now we have 4: SAN JUAN, SANTO DOMINGO, ANTIGUA, and
GRAND BAHAMA. We will be buying 2 more: TAMPA and ANDROSS.
Before we can get into those towns we must build up our Viceroy town. before
commiting your 2ND convoy to the trade route be sure to transport 400 of each
WOOD an BRICK to our WAREHOUSE in GRAND BAHAMA. Build 2 TEXTILE MILLS and 2
ROPE MAKERS. As well as 4 HOUSES for them to live. Repeat this until you have
10 of each TEXTILES MILLS and ROPE MAKERS. Build Also 4 WHEAT FARMS and 4
PRODUCE ORCHARDS. Also be sure again to have enough HOUSES and possibly a 2ND
WAREHOUSE. Our daily production will then be:
10 WHEAT, 10 PRODUCE, 10 CLOTHES, and 10 ROPE.
Per trade route evalution:
140 WHEAT, 140 PRODUCE, 140 CLOTHES, and 140 ROPE.
We may now stop buying WHEAT, PRODUCE, CLOTHES, and ROPE at our WAREHOUSE.
Set our WAREHOUSES accordingly as to not be overfilling with to many of a
certain kind of good. Let us move on to our next town, TAMPA.
IV.VII.I. TAMPA:
After about 10 to 20 times around and TAMPA should give you a 100% trade
record.Lets Buy a permit. We now face a small Problem. We have no suitable
towns in this area to produce both WOOD and BRICK. Lets buy a FLUTE SHIP just
to transport us some WOOD and BRICK from SAN JUAN. After about 3 trips we
should have 300 of each WOOD and BRICK in our WAREHOUSE in TAMPA. LETS BUILD

IV.VIII. WAR!!!:
When it comes to war and picking a side remember this SPAIN is a huge target
and there is almost always a country at war with SPAIN. Also when it comes to
capturing towns SPAIN has the easiest targets.
Before engaging in any acts of war against powerful nations get rid of all the
pesky pirates. If you have ignored them until after you have established
yourself they may be rather powerful. It is still best to get rid of them as
soon as there hide out is discovered. Do not bother with sinking all there
ships as there will always be 5 pirates somewhere in the Carribean regardless
of how many you take over.
When you have got rid of all the pesky pirates find a country who is in a war
with SPAIN and visit there Governor. The best way to defeat SPAIN'S military
convoys is dependet upon which country there at war with if it FRANCE your best
bet is prey on all ship thats sail just east of FLORIDA KEYS. If it is HOLLAND
or ENGLAND then prey on ships in the straight just west of TORTUGA.
When you have weakened the SPAINISH navy you should speak to all the countries
at war with SPAIN'S Viceroy's they will task you with capturing a SPAINISH town
for there nation to inhabit. If capturing a city for FRANCE start with CORPUS
CHRISTI and work your way south. If capturing a city for HOLLAND start by
taking over CUBA and then go south. Finally If capturing a city for ENGLAND
start with GEORGETOWN and work your way west along upper SOUTH AMERICA.
Every 2 cities you capture for a specific Viceroy will get you 25% in a town
over your own where no one else but you can build. You also get a WAREHOUSE
able to hold up to 38k of any good.
IV.IX. YOUR TOWN:
You get to choose from 5 possible locations for you town, usually you have a
wide variety of choices from Savanna, Georgia to Petit Trou, Haiti. When you do
in fact get a city of your own it would be wise to revovle your entire trade
ecomony around that one city. You will make all the profit and get to set the
price for all goods in your town.
