Headquarters, Clara and Guidance
Headquarters summarises the current state of your shipping company. Clara explains the visible page, recalls open assignments and points to a sensible next step without executing decisions automatically.
At a Glance
- Headquarters is an overview and starting point, not another warehouse.
- “Call Clara” opens contextual help for the current game situation.
- A highlighted path is guidance; vessel, cargo, destination and confirmation remain your decisions.
What to check at Headquarters
- Check the active port, available funds, fleet size and offices in the header.
- Read the Headquarters cards as a summary; open the relevant area for authoritative detail.
- For vessels and goods, verify the actual location. An overview never moves inventory.
- Use the logbook and reputation profile to trace completed actions and progression.
Call Clara
Clara is the Chamber of Commerce representative and your personal companion. “Call Clara” provides help for the open page, recalls an assignment already in progress and may highlight the next reachable menu item. She never buys, sells, loads cargo or starts a route for you.
How to read the guide
| Display | Meaning | Your task |
| Highlighted menu item | This area is reachable as the suggested next step. | Open it, read the information and decide for yourself. |
| Open assignment | A started task still contains unfinished steps. | Check progress and conditions. |
| No guidance | The current situation has no prescribed next step. | Choose your own goal or open the relevant wiki article. |
If Clara does not lead to the expected location
First check the active port, the vessel’s actual location, any running route and assignment progress. A vessel in Bremen is not moved to Bremerhaven merely because Bremerhaven is active. Open the fleet, go to the vessel’s location and plan the required route yourself.
