There are plenty of times when I have had the stronger fleet and attacked first, and also when I've had the weaker fleet and the enemy attacked first. I don't think it is as simple as the weaker fleet attacks first.

@Dermado I refreshed my browser, and it hasn't happened since. Thanks anyways. Don't know what's wrong with my PM's. Sorry! D:

@Discgo
Is the glitch you run into sorted by clicking on another one of your ships on your turn?
For example if your middle ship is on 0 hp it regularly goes to it first expecting it to be able to attack, but it cant. So clicking on the top or bottom ship should allow it to have its go.
Oh, also bear in mind if your sails are ripped to shreds and you have less than I believe its 15 AP you dont get to attack, at all.
Id have pmd you this but its not letting me and afaict you dont have me on mute go figure o_O.

I keep running into a glitch where when it gets to my turn, I can't attack. I either have to leave the battle or keep skipping my turns until my ships are destroyed.

having like something to do in the loading screen would be awesome :D
like maybe drag the water to make it splash someone
or drag a sailor into the water and watch his mates bring him back up
or other stuff :D

To be bluntly honest, the game loses all enjoyment pretty quickly. After you get 4 cities you have no idea where to do next. If you go anywhere you undoubtedly are going to get demolished and be left with no money. There is a lot the game doesn't tell you and could you a much better tutorial. 2/5

I just started playing a few minutes ago. My ships are so damaged I instantly lose when I get into a battle. I don't have enough money to repair my ships or to buy any type of tradable. Am I SOL or is there something I'm missing?

I'd like to recommend you to quit the End Turn Button and just end the turn when you can´t attack anymore. Sorry if my english is bad

@Nelies: Upgrade everything and you get about 1100 hp and then collect enough money to be able to use dynamite every turn

I absolutely love when I overkill that last, weak enemy with all of my 3 ships. Don't know why, it just fills me with joy to direct a black cloud of cannonballs into a tattered ship. :D Great strategy game, with near-realistic trading, and a detailed attack system. If there will be a "Best of 2013" votal, like in the last 5-6 years, this'll go straight in my nominations. 5/5, favorited. Thank you.

If you are aiming to be stronger than your enemies, better make sure you are a LOT stronger because having the first shot can change everything. I enjoyed it, fun game.

Uhhh..... all three of my ships were destroyed and now I don't have the money to fix them nor can I battle other ships to get money... What do?

Sails influence AP. If a ship's sails are so damaged in battle that it can't make any attacks (i.e. it has less than 15 AP), then it is considered incapacitated; you don't need to worry about destroying the hull.
Crew influences the chance of success when boarding a ship. If you've slain enough of an enemy ship's crew (or if you simply have started with a significantly higher number of crew than they), you should be able to board with ease. A boarded ship is incapacitated; you do not need to destroy its hull.
Those strategists amongst you will note down the different types of ships available for sale and what their weaknesses are (as well as the strengths of your own ships!); one general rule of thumb I follow is to blast the crew of merchant ships and then board them, as they often have very low crew numbers.
And then once you're rich enough from trading gunpowder, all strategy is thrown out the window as you simply hurl dynamite over and over at the Dutchman.

Attack the SAIL'S does massive damage to the other ship's AP/ A duuurrhh. Also does pretty good direct damage. Id say it's like a mix between the effects of crew and hull.

The first day this came out and I finished it, I could kill the final boss in 1 round easily. Now I finish the game again and the boss takes several rounds to kill with maxed ships, stats, and using dynamite every round.

now my save has been deleted, and I couldn't beat boss on max. Amazing game, just cant beat it or keep a save! please fix! I'd love to play soon knowing my date will be safe!!

The ghost ship is too strong. I am maxed out on everything and cannot kill it to include using dynamite ever time I fired at the ghost ship. Four stars down to two.

Wow you sure have made the boss harder. No longer a 100% boarding chance and A LOT more health and resistance against the 5k ammo. Took me about 4 battles to beat him.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
okay, what really took time was getting all upgrades and ships. My recommendations: WAY bigger map, its just to small. Misions, its ok to destroy ships and trade, but some side-quests would be awesome. something like finding a hiden isle? or a broken ship, maybe rescue merchans from pirates etc, etc, etc. also who start the battle should be defined randomly or by some stat, like the faster ur ship is, the faster he will atk. well, i had fun so it will be a 5/5
