Improving the port
The smallest type of port is the "Natural port" and many ports outside the towns are such ports. Most, if not all of the ports in the villages are already expanded. The highest possible level for each port is unknown and is being decided by the game administrators.
There are several different stages of the port expansion:
- Natural port (level 1)
- Fishing port (level 2)
- Commercial port (level 3)
- Naval shipyard (level 4)
The ports expansion is being led by the Harbourmaster.
In order to improve it, the Harbourmaster must hire workers and dispose a lot of raw materials, artisan products and money (pounds). Attention: if even one of the job offers which are placed by the Harbourmaster is not taken, then all the products and money that were used for that day offers will be lost, without the work being done. Moreover, once the job offers are being placed, they can not be modified, cancelled or more offers being added.
In order to have rat materials, artisan products and money to pay the port expansion, the Harbourmaster must receive a grant by the Sheriff (or the Mayor). After that he can put everything into the Port inventory.
Each expansion is being done in different stages: (ex: construction, masonry, finishing touches etc.). The duration of each stage is different, depending of the total number of workers required and the total number of job offers being taken every day.
The wages for the workers vary between 18,00 and 25,99 pounds.
Example: 16 June 1458, 3 job offers were placed for carpenters in Marseille, only 2 have been taken - on the morning of the 17th, the Harbourmaster sees that the money and the raw materials (bushel of wood) are gone, however the construction works haven't progressed an inch!
The raw materials used by the workers are always used in whole (ounces, bushels, tons) - the fractions are always rounded up - Harbourmasters must pay attention to this when placing the job offers!
Example: for the carpentry phase, in order to improve from natural port, 30 bushels of wood and 50 carpenter-days are required.
3 carpenters working - they will use 5 bushels of wood. 4 carpenters working - they will use 6,666... bushels of wood, rounded to 7 1 carpenter working - he will use 1,666.. bushels, rounded up to 2
Attention, starting work on improving the port, reduce with 1 the capacity to accommodate ships

Coût des améliorations
Voir la page de calcul du coût des améliorations du port (lien externe).
Pontons supplémentaires
Pour chaque type de port il est possible d'ajouter des pontons supplémentaires afin d'augmenter la capacité d'accueil des quais.
Le coût de construction d'un ponton supplémentaire est proportionnel au coût du port lui-même. Par exemple, si un port de niveau N possède de base 5 pontons et que ce port à coûté 100 quintaux de pierre, 50 stères de bois et 20 ouvriers , alors la construction d'un ponton supplémentaire coûtera : (100 quintaux de pierre + 50 stères de bois + 20 ouvriers) / 5.
Les salaires possibles pour les ouvriers vont de 18,00 à 25,99 écus.
Les produits débités par la journée de travail d'un ouvrier sont arrondies à la valeur inférieure. Le travail d'un ouvrier est considéré comme terminé à la mise à jour quotidienne qui suit la FIN de ses 22 heures de travail.
| Coût de base d'un ponton | ||||
| Port naturel | Petit port | Chantier naval | Arsenal | |
| Ouvriers | 15 | 30 | 50 | 70 |
| Quintaux de pierre | 10 | 25 | 50 | 125 |
| Stères de bois | 10 | 10 | 50 | 50 |
| Kilos de minerai de fer | 0 | 10 | 50 | 250 |
| Nb de pontons de base | 2 | 4 | 7 | 10 |
| Pontons en + possibles | 1 | 2 | 2 | 5 |
Attention, les pontons ne sont pas conservés lors du passage d'un port à un niveau supérieur!
