Further Treasure fleet Route Info here:

fleetp:


The web site's search function is your friend. I found this in 30 seconds, by searching posts for "Treasure Fleet Route".

This post was made by Davos in the "Treasure Fleet" topic. Roland recently quoted the same information in the same topic.


"Every January the treasure fleet starts in the area around Trinidad. The first port it is going to, is Cumana or Caracas. Then it sails to one of the next two ports following in the list.

1. Cumana
2. Caracas
3. Puerto Cabello
4. Coro
5. Rio de la Hacha
6. Cartagena
7. Puerto Bello
8. Havana

>8: ToEurope

The longest possible route is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
The shortest possible routes are 2, 4, 6, 8 or 2, 4, 6, 7 or 1, 3, 5, 7.

The ships: 3-5 Treasure Galleons (some get lost or captured on the way) with about 35 cannons and 180 men each

The cargo: The amount of gold (~1000 before the first port on the list) seems to increase by 400-500 with each stop at a town, some luxuries.

Notes: The galleons sail in a line. They stop in front of a port and wait for some seconds until the other ships did catch up before sailing on."


Roland:

When headed for "Europe", the Treasure Fleet disappears around Bermuda.


Red Rabbit:

You need to be somewhere around the Havana/Florida/Tortuga/Bahamas when barmaid tells that the Treasure Galleons are headed for Europe, so you have enough time to catch them before they disappear(?)..



ronnraymore:

I found that basing out of Key West I can hang out in the area of Havana and found that when the word is out the fleet is heading to Havana I can intercept them and wait the couple of days for them to load before getting underway.

The pesky French have a habit of invading and capturing Havana and I have to go in, capture, and install a Viceroy. Then the Brits invade, etc. So far as long as I keep the port Spanish the fleet will stop there.

I picked up the fleet at Cumana, sailed with it on the route had to reef sails to keep from sailing away from them, yet when I lagged behind too far they suddenly shoot away even when I'm on full sails. I saw one head for the sand barrier isles just south of Principe and vanish?!( What the hell?( I waited around and it never reappeared...this game logic is goofy as hell and makes play so frustrating with its MariAtario actions.

These aren't mods? Cheers for the collected links mind you. Pirate and I used that Treasure Fleet info in restoring the fleet to the East Indies mod, worked great.
