They add to trade I believe, as well as give a universal movement bonus at higher levels of the guild (master and HQ). Probably the best guild, IMHO.

I believe the new world is discovered around turn 160, right around the year 1400. Or it may be 1420. But it's close to there.

If they do that then its probably money well spent ;-)

It seems strange that the game only gives you that extension after turn 160, which is about 75% through the game. It means the discovery of the new world can't really affect the outcome of the european war since by turn 160 you've either broken the back of the game or it's broken you.

Thanks for the info, I'll look forward to turn 160 and have the fleets ready ;-))

You can't. The event that triggers it (The World is Round) enables the building of a new class of ships, and only those ships can cross the ocean. You can have the military ready to go, but you'll still have to build the ships - and possibly the ports to build the ships as well - when that happens.

Thanks.

That saved a few virtual tree's ;-))

Not to mention running costs for all those white elephants.

Currently enduring the plague, which I guess is necessary for me to be able to pass it onto the aztecs.

You're right, the New World doesn't really play in to it. It's just a nice way to flee the Timurids if you can't beat them. You'll lose eventually, but at least you won't be destroyed.
