Piraten gewinnen immer / pirates always win

[Sihtric]

Hallo,

ich habe ein Problem mit den Piraten. Und zwar schaffe ich es nicht ein Piratenversteck zu vernichten. Egal wie viele Flotten ich nacheinander angreifen lasse. Die Piraten verlieren kaum ein Mann währendessen meine ganze Besatzung das Zeitliche segnet. Jemand einen Tipp wie ich sie besiegen kann?


Hi there,

I have a problem with the pirates. And I can not destroy a pirate hiding place. No matter how many fleets I attack one after the other. The pirates hardly lose a man while my entire crew blesses the time. Anyone a tip on how to beat them?

Sorry not at a computer so can't use Google translate as I normally would.

When you attack the pirate base make sure you have 2/3 muskets to 1/3 swords on your ships. Muskets are used only in land battles so your normal ship capturing selection would not be as effective in land battles.

Once I have a reasonable cash supply I outfit my battle fleet with full complement of sailors then 2/3 muskets to 1/3 swords. Since I normally have WAY more ships in my battle fleet than I need per battle my ship capturing is not affected as I have at least enough swords to outfit my boarding parties fully. 3 ships of the line contain 750 sailors and my fleet normally consists of at least 9 of them. Meaning I have 750 swords and 1500 muskets on board. This means that when attacking and boarding ships my sailors take all the swords (750) but if I attack a city/hideout they will take the 2:1 ratio of muskets to swords (500 muskets and 250 swords).
