How do I acquire more convoys?

In Assassin's Creed 3, you have the option of sending out convoys loaded with goods for sale.

I'm lead to believe that this should be your primary means of income as you roam the frontier and kill defenseless animals for the sake of profit. I've seen this question about what to do when a convoy is under attack, but it doesn't indicate what to do after the fact.

Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to my convoy in time to prevent the attack, and now my convoy is completely lost. A look at my ledger shows that I currently have no convoys available. This has put me in a bit of a financial bind.

How can I get more convoys if, and when, I lose the one(s) I currently have?

Solution 1:

You can build more convoys once you get access the the estate ledger.

At the accounting book , you can craft another caravan. Cheaply. First, go to your stock pile. You should see a list with categories on the right, and one of them will be labeled "forest." Buy 1 oak lumber and 1 oak bark, and then go to the crafting menu.

You will see something that says recipies. Press it, and it will lead you to another list. Go to the category that says "special items." From there, if you scroll right, you will eventually find an item that says land convoy. Then, just craft it.

You can have a maximum of three convoys at any time.
