Is it even possible to beat the ghost ship without cheating? I have the 3 top ships, i'm using dynamite, and using aim hull. Yet still only manage to barely get the ghost ship down to 50% health. Boooo

Sail shot = Less AP if a ship is under 15 AP he can t attack and is like dead
Crew shot = Less Crew, and better chance for a boardage
Hull shot = Less life for the ship

This games a bloody cheat, whenever i'm low on health, a pirate crew, roughly 90% will randomly attack my fleet as i'm trying to get to safety. But when my fleet is healthy, no random attacks.

Would be great if it had a save feature. I had the biggest ships and all the upgrades. I went to do something else and came back to the game later. Now I'm back to square one.

Was fun. Found it much easier to gain gold than wp until near the end, but at that point I had more gold than I knew what to do with. 1 thing about trading is I think it should be based more on what the town is supposed to make and want, rather than whats been bought and sold there recently.
Insanely good/quick way to make gold, choose the 3 highest priced goods you can buy, pick 2 towns close together and rotate the 3 goods between the 2 towns. For example, buy all rum you can, go to 2nd town, sell it all, buy all coffee, go back to first town, sell all coffee and buy all ore, go to 2nd town, sell all coffee and now rum will be insanely cheap since you flooded town's market with it so buy rum, go back to 1st town, now rum is super expensive since you bought out so much, sell rum and buy coffee, etc

I've played lots of games like this, but this is by far my favorite. The others just had way too many things you had to do, on this you have the choice of maybe doing trading and stuff but its not required.

i dont know why but each time the enemy attacks, once. my ships cant attack after wards even though they only lost about 20% and the enamy has only 1% of health but can still attack!?

Pure farming, it's just a matter of time to win.
No real challenge. The idea still good but the gameplay could be improve.
Too repetitive

Funny little game. Advice - you don't need warships to finish game. Best merchant ships fully upgraded and shooting with dynamite are more than enough to destroy last boss. Also trading makes you money really fast. But I didn't saw any pattern, towns seem to have random prices influenced only by what you sell/buy from them, not by what they should be producing.

While its not a huge problem, when i buy a new ship i noticed i lose the cargo i bought that was in the old ship. its easily avoided but can sometimes be an issue, other than that its a well done game with a nice combination of trading and raiding. could use a little more plot or backstory though

was fun, not sure how useful the trade side is tho considering the last boss is a battle and you get more money than you can ever spend as a combat ship. For those who don't understand the battle options: quick shot damages sail,hull and crew a little bit, boarding gives you a % chance of inta-kill and the other options do major damage to either hull crew or sail with a bit of damage to the other components. Hull is your life, at 0 your ship is destroyed, sail is your AP, a ship with less than 15 AP is considered dead as it can't fight and crew influences the likelihood of a successful boarding.

If your having trouble defeating the flying dutchman, aim to the hull and use the most expensive shot that you can. you have to have all the upgrades for the best ship also. i barely beat it but its possible.

Well, how nice. All my ships and accomplishments apparently disappeared. Guess I won't be back to this game just to rebuild everything.

Ebaran, those upgrades really add up. Also, it's the last battle of the game. Don't shirk on the Dynamite ammo option. It might cost 5k per shot, but as long as you aren't buying merchant vessels money is a joke anyway

Last town to Dutchman, an easy guide.
NOTE: this assumes you trade all the time to keep funds, this is a fast but very expensive method
After capturing the last town you can see the Dman on the map, now go fight and loose against it. We're doing this because you get ~1500 war points every time you loose to the Dutchman so we can power level our ships, next get ships of the line and max out damage and hull.
now go trade ALOT get about 2 million gold (trade gunpowder, silver and rum) once you have that and maxed ships of the line go fight the Dutchman, load the most expensive shot (5000 gold a shot) and aim hull or do quick shot, the boss has no crew or sail so you can't slow him down.
good luck :)

Just FYI, if you are having trouble beating the Dutchman, have you checked out the achievements screen to upgrade things like overall damage, accuracy, action points and hull?? can be found by clicking on the star in the lower left when looking at your fleet.

The step from taking the first four cities up to any of the next ones is pretty huge. Not much fun having to save up forever just to keep moving forward. I'll keep going for a bit...

I kept trying to beat the flying dutchman, but I didn't know there were stars you could use to improve your ships. . .
