Some things:
-At the moment, ore can be sold for 2 and tools can be bought for 2. So there is no use at all to convert ore into tools, let alone buy a blacksmith and abuse a missionary to do this at a food defecit.
-Coverting raw materials into luxuary stuff is hardly ever useful in the first half of the game.
-We should focus on food, crosses, colonists and trade.
-A load of tools was bought and is now doing nothing. Either use it for a galleon or trade it to Monty.
Since a galleon is way cheaper in Europe, it should be bought there immediately!
-We still don't know what the village of Tlateloco teaches. Perhaps it's fishery.....
-The missionary should either do what he is good at or he should be stripped and taught fishery. I suggest we load the missionary (along with the criminal) into the caravel, check out Tlateloco, possibly leave the criminal (if he an lear fishery) and then ship the missionary to scout the island to the west of us. After scouting he can build a missionary.
-In short:
-Buy a galleon in europe, stuff it with colonists, tools and trade goods and sail to America.
-Get the criminal and missionary to Tlateloco.
I can perfectly understand that each player does things differently. However, explaining why you do things and why some advizes are ignored, would be nice
