The easy way to get 100% accuracy is to go into hand-to-hand combat with each levels boss ship and then broadside them.

I think it'd be cool if they made the battles larger and you had the option of either buying multiple ships in case you lose your first one or have the option of multiplayer where you can team up with other pirates to take down bigger scores. Awesome game though. =)

I tried harvestsun's tactic, and he was spot on with the upgrades, but to get the most money, starting level 3 to 9, shoot a very small amount of cannonballs(and hit with them) to get a 100% accuracy rating after the level. You see, starting from level 3, onwards, a 100% accuracy rating gives you more money than the 2500 gold they give when you don't shoot a thing.

What? after i died on the second level (LAME) i went to like the 4th without even beating 2 and 3! Was that a glitch or what?

You'd think that on Admiral difficulty the enemy captains would have the courage to shoot back during close confrontation. :)

i had 22 pirates after the battle with the flagship and i killed well over 400 :D that shows a win on the pirates side go pirates XD

@harvestsun: you just created a paradox. You say we shouldn't listen to the top commenters, but you're one of them so we should listen to them which is the reason for not listening to them .........

You'd think that, after hearing of a captain who sacrifices 50 crew members every battle only to snap up another couple dozen replacements in the nearest town as soon as he's done, prospective pirates would stop showing up for job interviews. :S

i kept wondering why level 12 is so hard since ships kept coming in, and the boss joined in eventually.
...until i realized you can just hold space to rapidfire -.-

@ aee369: the easiest is captain and the hardest is admiral... This is because in real life the Admiral ranks higher than the Captain.

I'd like to add that firing cannons at the enemy ships decrease their value, so when you're going for your accuracy bonus make sure you don't get too carried away :)

Like many people, I can't move with WASD keys or arrows either. But when I used mozilla instead of chrome, it worked :D

I am having the same problem as krashkill0069, I can't move, or do anything for that matter. The only keys that work in-game are Ctrl, V, and P. This is a serious problem that needs looking into, especially when it's part of a quest. If this doesn't get fixed I swear I will give this game a 1/5.

Level 12 on Admiral is a piece of cake. Just follow harvestsun's instructions, but keep in mind that after level 2 100% accuracy bonus would be better than All ammo saved bonus. So make one shot with 2-3 cannonballs - and additional money is yours!
Now let's talk about how to complete the final challenge. You see, this Big Bad Ship has one nasty ability: additional ships spawn. It doesn't count towards ship total, and appear after some part of boss total hp is gone... So let's fight him without dealing damage at all. You need save your pirates on board across all level encounters. Dodge like hell, don't let engage yourself in close combat, damage, damage, damage. Oh... and save at least 120-130 pirates for Boss. When you succeed and the boss finally appears, just let your pirates make bloody carnage on it's ship decks =))). Yes, they CAN kill 400+ enemies. YAARRRrrrrrr! Plus this to keep it on top!

I found harvestsun's strategy very helpful. However, if you get a very high accuracy score, you can get more than a 2500 gold bonus after you beat a level. Basically, only shoot an enemy ship when you're right on top of them.
