Good game, I only have a small complaint: Why can't I board Haddock's ship? It was so anti-climatic when I decimated his crew and realized that it was for naught...

Good game but going again through all of this to unlock 6 different endings is beyond my will... The bonus on starting amount of dooblons is good and helps but it's still extremely long and time consuming... Maybe a shortcut?

Started to play, noticed the time limit, lost interest. 100 weeks might be just enough (or more than enough) time to finish, but I don't want to worry about some looming deadline. I get enough of that at my job - I play games to relax. Otherwise, looks like a decent game.
There's no need to worry, lord haddock scales in difficulty.. he's a little harder if you don't have the best ship by the time 100 weeks have passed, but you'll still have a fair shot at beating him. And if you get sunk, there's a continue button too. :)

most dificult is eldorado not fountain ,because you need something like 200 crew with pistols and cutlases for it and for fountain only half of it. For me finding this stupid island for achiev was dificult. Tip for new players: dont bother with crew and weapons for them, buy better ships asap. When u have best ship you can start gathering and arming crew if u need it for something.

Thought you said the fountain of youth was hard? If anything it is long, but easy if you just shoot normal cannons, chainshot, and grape shot. If you want to speed it up a bit you can use parrot bombs with the other 3.

So, I boarded Gideon's ship to end the battle... And nothing happened? I tried to go back to El Dorado, but I've got to fight him again. Bug? Playing on Safari, Flash version 11,7,700,225.
Cheers! For super-hard mode, replay it and try to get the Fountain of Youth ending. I tried to make it as impossible as possible for players to complete. :D
It's just fun to get all the trophies, I guess. I did set the game up for kongregate badges, but those aren't something I can personally enable, only high-rated games get those manually enabled by Greg.

Thanks for the reply, P., I've figured out the fountain now, was pretty cool. couldnt figure out how exactly to reach the island, though. Any specifics on that?

<3 chain shot. Like really. When you beat a ship with it you get same rewards as boarding it, and it put celestial beast down to 0 attack.

aww, bugged! I got into a fight with a merchant galleon in the Sea of Blades, and none of the buttons were clickable. Also, the enemy took me down to 0 hull points (no animations on attacks), but the match did not end.

Ha, loved the bit about trying to prevent the heat death of the universe. Is that an easter egg for super high reputation in FoY or did i just miss it the first time around? Also, is there a similiar easter egg for finishing El Dorado With high reputation? 300+ should be doable, -200 for genocide, leaves you still at 100+. Beloved Tyrant? Or is it overwritten by the default Wealthy Hero?
Glad you liked that part, writing that ending was one of my favourite parts of making the entire game, going all-out sci-fi. (It's the standard ending to the fountain of youth quest). Tempted to use it as the basis of a sequel set in space (I have around 6 ideas for potential sequels), but that all depends on how this game does first, whether or not sequels are made.
The titles/ ranks at the end are made up of 2-3 different parts which are dependant on your morale, reputation and doubloons. I guess you'd get "wealthy beloved hero" if you somehow managed to get 300+ rep before committing genocide. :p

This game was pretty awesome, maybe in the sequel consider adding more quests and more variety in the ships. Good luck with the sequel :D

Nice game. Got all the endings and judging by numbers El Dorado seemed to be the most difficult. If you consider 400 armed to be a strenght of 800, you'd need at least 200 heavily armed to best them, which is double Hydra's Keep's strenght. The text (peaceful tribe) suggested we'd need less, but i didn't want to risk it. The text for Fountain of Youth seemed to suggest needing one of the artefacts or high reputation,but that might have been just flavour. Beat it with all items (except the 2 other maps) and a reputation of ~100.

Good game with great potential. Pity I can't beat Fountain of Youth yet. :(
So far only 1 bug encountered: when I want to click CARGO or TROPHIES, the game occasionally opens a new Turbo Nuke window. Otherwise it's pretty neat. Looking forward to further developments!

The game itself is quite addictive, however the entire concept of doing it before the weeks run out makes my rating go down to 3.

Very good game. One thing- you should add option to play without the time limit, it would be more fun as there are so many quests to do and so little time!
Still trying to find this bug, anyone that runs into it, submit a bug report with your flash player version and browser and I'll see what I can do to fix it. Can't replicate it myself at the moment.

I like this game, but I feel like there isn't enough variety in the mid-late game enemies. Some seas I wasn't getting anything but sea monsters... (I suppose this could be the point, but if so it should be said in-game.) Crew should probably play a role other than just for boarding, since later ships have too much defense for it to be worth it, since you have to feed and hire crew, in addition to spending grape shot. Perhaps if crew affected reload speed, with bigger ships needing more crew to reload efficiently.
The enemy was more heavily armed than you. Buy pistols and cutlasses from the store to boost your crew's attack strength. A crew member with a pistol and cutlass is worth double!

It would be nice to continue after victory, there's plenty to do after the time limit is up. Getting a little more gold to start with isn't much of a boon.
This was something I considered, but ultimately decided that it makes the trophies a little too easy if you get infinite weeks in which to complete them. Completing the Fountain of Youth quest line in 100 weeks before Haddock gets you is pretty challenging, and I wanted to keep that difficulty intact, and keep the game enjoyable throughout multiple playthroughs. I might switch to a different approach for the sequel, possibly having the multiple endings one after another.. e.g. once you beat the boss you get a map to a whole new set of seas. Thanks for the feedback, I'll see what everyone thinks!
Currently investigating this, will let you know how it goes.
EDIT: I can't seem to replicate this, I've tried the adventure a number of times and it seems to work fine for me, even if I buy everything from the store. Can you let me know what web browser/ flash player version you've got so I can look into this a bit more? Cheers. :)
