Best way to make money?

Luxury method in New York does not work anymore since you have to pay taxes.
What is your way to go in making money?

I feel like hunting for treasures with fast ship is the most efficient way to do this.

A great way to make money is to go to trade school when young then become an independent contractor.

... Oh you meant in the game! Just become a pirate.

May I just ask if you put taxes only on New York as I'm considering other trade routes? :)

Only New York.

It was funny to know the #1 piece of community advice was "Buy Luxuries, sell in New York, Profit" but there are many other trade routes and ways to make money that were being ignored. So, Taxes.

If you can brave the frozen north, a triangle run between London, New York, and Reykjavik can work fairly well. Really any trade route where you can buy low and sell high (so generally, starting in the East and going west) will work. Pirating also works but you're liable to lose limbs from combat even if you vastly outgun the pirates.

The best design solution is the one that is both thematic and adds strategic depth. Well done.
