or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Fine Walloon Sword
November 24th
I come to Grenada with trade or smuggling in mind, whichever is more profitable. The city is rich, the storekeeper has 26 million gold and a surprisingly large quantity of Fine Walloon Swords, a whole 86 of them. This city is going to make us rich!
February 19th
A short visit to Grenada to resupply. The shopkeeper has a glint in his eyes, he feverishly tells me off the fortunes that his 212 Fine Walloon Swords are going to make him. He already made it to 67 million gold, so I wish him the best of luck.
April 2nd
I reach Sao Jorge without further problems despite the slight damage my ship has taken from battle. Upon entering the harbour, I witness an avalanche of 110000 Fine Walloon Swords sliding into the ocean. The shopkeeper reassures me that all is fine, recent aquisitions have made him a fortune of 811 million gold.
April 6th
As is tradition, I stay the duration of the repairs in the shipyard, greatly enjoying the shipwrights hospitality. After a few days the repairs are finished and I remember that I still need to sell some loot before returning to sea, so i bid the shipyard goodbye and open the door to Sao Jorge. Or at least try to.
It appears to be blocked by Fine Walloon Swords.
149560 Fine Walloon Swords, stretching out in a mountain from the shipyard to the store. The shopkeeper, clearly distraught and close to a nervous breakdown, sits atop the mountain and croaks with a forced smile: "Buy my swords!".
The Walloon financial bubble apparently burst overnight, leaving shopkeeper with -542 million gold in debts. As he is now unable to buy any loot off my ship, I set sail for another harbour.
TL;DR:
Grenadas economy is spiralling out of control. Shopkeeper and Gunsmith keep raising their money until it overflows into negativity. Strange amounts of walloon swords appear.
November 24th 1751 was the oldest save file i still had, so i am not sure how or when this chain of events even started. The 4 savefiles described above are in the attached .7z archive.
The save appears to still be playable (with the exception of using Grenada's stores), but I am worried about what other values will overflow in the long run?
Build 14 as of May 19 2021
Is this a known bug? Can my save be saved?
