Dear All:

Happy 2008 from Canada!!! I hope this finds you and yours not really hungover!!

In my game as Venice, I am assigned the mission of taking over a merchant's assets. The target merchant is the one from Portugal whom the Council of Nobles think has plenty of KA-CHING! I've tried acquistions in the past and failed miserably.

Question: How do I go about making this and any future acquistions a success?

Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!

Sincerely yours always,

Indy.
