Quick Guide:
First, buy new ships as soon as you can, and pursue the RIGHT upgrade path. (Right is warships, left is freighters.) Buy all upgrades that improve your combat power. Ignore cargo.
In battle: first, shoot at the SAILS of each enemy once, then go for the CREW. Manage your AP by mixing aimed shots and quick shots.
DUTCHMAN: Make sure you have Ships of the Line and full upgrades. Load Dynamite and aim for the hull. Should roll over like a kitten.

Don't waste bullet on the Dutchman ! Aim for the Hull with the best bullets you can and watch him sink. Nice game, but quite repetitive.

The ships on the left side may seem weak and overly expensive, but when the trading gets on high levels youll have vastly more money than war points, and the ships become STRONG once upgraded (clipper base damage? 90. With max upgrades and star bonus? 400.)

@Flashertjeuh Did you check to see if you had the downed ship selected as your attacking ship? Try clicking one of your other ships and then see if you can attack.

@k0t0: The dutchman can kill each of my fully upgraded ships in 2 rounds. All three together deal 5000 damage in the first attack. So every battle goes: dutchman down to 25K, first of my ships loses AP, next attack dutchman to 21k, I lose one ship; dutchman to 18K, next ship loses APs, dutchman to 15K, 2nd ship destroyed, dutchman at 13K, last ship loses AP, dutchman to 11K, last ship destroyed!

@Flasher, do you mean your own ship? Because of one of your vessels are sunk, you need to click on one of your other ships in order to "pick them" for their turn :)

@ Ghost ship, if one ship goes down, i can't attack it anymore .
Impossible to get the badge in other words for me :(

If you're having problems with saves going missing its likely due to the way flash works now rather than the game. I would suggest periodically backing up the flash folder (in app data if you're on windows pc)

If you happen to be defeated later in the game, and you don't have much gold (after just buying new ships for instance), it's really hard to repair and get back in business again...

pepsieatu... you have ap points for each ship. the lowest amount of ap required to attack is 15. if you have less than 15 ap points for a ship you cant attack that turn

Great game to kill a few hours. Im assuming targting hull does more damage, but ave no qantifiable data to back this up. Targeting sails or crew however, i have no ideawhat benefits theybring and ive beaten the game. Clear explanations required. Otherwise 5 stars :)

Just wanted to let the developer know I though the games was fun for an evening, kept me up later then I had anticipated.

Right at the beginning buy the 1200 ship, sell it, buy it again. It sells for 100%, so you get your money back and it counts toward the achievement, so you can start already with several points if you do it 30 times.

I could use a longer, more in-depth game.
Even in Taipan, at least there was potential drama with Elder Brother Wu and such.

Make something original. I played this on yahoo. EXACTLY this game with different graphics. You made a complete copy of it. It was called Tradewinds. Go ahead vote down this AGAIN. Posting in forums.

@skooter420, you probably spammed quick shot all throughout the game, you need to aim for its hull with dynamite and you'll be good, just have 200k on you and you have fully upgraded ship of the lines so you should be good. I didnt lose a single ship doing it this way against the dutchman lol

There is just no way that anyone could lose the last battle with fully upgraded ships, and use dynamite (200k max, no need for any more).
Great game :)

I wasted a fair bit of time trading and avoiding combat before I realized I could purchase and use more than one ship at a time :/
