Winds of Trade

v1.5.2 Now Available!
Hello everyone! We're very happy to inform that a new update for Winds Of Trade has been released. Version 1.5.2 brings several performance improvements (see frame rate comparison below) and some bug fixes that caused UI elements to be displayed incorrectly on some systems. These bugs mainly affected the "competitors" and the "auto trade route" windows, causing some labels to be in the wrong place and the charts in the competitors window to have no background grid.



Here is a quick comparison showing how your frame rate might increase after updating the game:

v1.5.1 Now Available!
We have just released a new update for Winds Of Trade, version 1.5.1. This one includes:

  • Brand new Italian translation!
  • New buttons to have finer control over the amount of goods you sell or buy.
  • Fixed bug that sometimes caused world generation to get stuck forever.
  • Fixed bug that caused battle screen to display incorrectly in ultra wide screen resolutions.
  • Minor performance improvements in order to decrease RAM usage.




Italiano Coming Soon!
The Italian translation is coming very soon! The next update will also include some performance improvements and bug fixes. Stay tuned for more info!

v1.5 Now Available!
Hello there, everyone! We are thrilled to announce that version 1.5 has been released. This update brings several improvements to the game, such as:


  • A new algorithm to calculate goods sale prices in order to make the economic simulation more realistic.
  • Several performance improvements that allow the game to run faster, more stable and using less memory.
  • Players now can manually specify a world seed for the procedural generation of the world.
  • Fixed bug that caused country relationship tooltips to display incorrectly if they had too many items inside.
  • Fixed bug that caused rival AI companies to steal your captains occassionally.
  • Fixed bug that caused fullscreen mode to have some input issues on Linux.
  • Decreased the volume of ambient sounds a bit so they are not too invasive.


As usual, all feedback is welcome! Enjoy!

v1.5 Beta 5 Now Available
Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that we've uploaded a new version of the game to the beta branch. The differences between the main branch and the beta branch now are as follows:


  • A new algorithm to calculate goods sale prices in order to make the economic simulation more realistic.
  • A fix for a bug in automatic trading routes that rendered the 'minimum sale price' feature incompatible with the change mentioned above.
  • Players now can manually specify a world seed for the procedural generation of the world.
  • Fixed bug that caused country relationship tooltips to display incorrectly if they had too many items inside.
  • Fixed bug that caused rival AI companies to steal your captains occassionally.
  • Decreased the volume of ambient sounds a bit so they are not too invasive.




All feedback is welcome! You can enter the beta version by right clicking Winds Of Trade in your Steam Library, selecting "properties" and then using the code "30tonnesofrum" (without quotes) in order to have access. You can go back to the stable version whenever you want, of course.

We need beta testers!
Hello everyone! We need beta testers to see if our proposed patch to fix some of the economic simulation algorithms is working properly or not. Is anyone willing to help?
