Combat advantage... Swapping ships
Took me way to long to find this... So i'll share just in case others havent found this yet..

When its your turn,, and comp selects the ship you need to move...
Ya know ,, usually the boxed in one that you don't wanna move yet.. ETC ETC

You can just double click on another ship,,, and then move that one instead..
You don't have to move the one you are being told to..

And this doesnt skip any ships turns...

Have fun.

The combat tutorial says this as well, but it's quick and I admit I missed it the first time. I figured out I could select a different ship, and then I checked the tutorial again cause some people were upset they couldn't shoot and then board in the same turn. Turns out that was a bug that got fixed in the last patch lol

lul you can even do flaming arrows on one ship, for example,and then swap movement/round to another ship. Should be clear. I didnt even finish tutorials and knew this bro :D

dont tell me you did not use this ..... :D :D :D :D omg. just put 3 x 2* ships in your fleet and put sailor priority on them and then just board enemy ships in the first 3 rounds by selecting those first. EVERY battle is won in under 5 minutes. ZZZ

When presented with a ship that was boxed in... etc....
I would just press end turn on it... then move on.. So yeah i only noticed you could swap ships this weekend.....

Sure wasn't having any issues with combat... but then again I'm still set on easy difficulty.. I'll up the difficulty in future games.. But knowing i can move around now, will make it a lot easier..


Thanks for the helps :)

After the 1.2 patch I saw a couple people complain that they could no longer fire shots and then board using the same ship. Apparently before 1.2 this was possible, but now it can't be done anymore

And I was avoiding big military convoys with 8 ships because they were blocking each other paths.
