Ship Diffrence

[Cetrenoh]

I have played this game for some time until the great heathen amy quest, but still wonder is there any diffrence in what ship you choose in the early beginning? I have not noticed any yet.

Well on the sea, I did have a random event where another ship chased mine. Your given a choice to turn towards them and engage, or run. I turned to fight (was hoping for a ship to ship battle), and the enemy ship fled upon looking upon my ship.

So I am guessing my the intimidation of my ship played a part in that. Its also reasonable that speed would play part in whether or not one could flee sucessfully or not.

Yeah, never got a ship event too and I went to the Althing with less than a week to spare, swimming to the isles and back home quite frequently..

Never got a sea event involving my type of ship. And I did 2 playthrough and one in insane where random event are supposed to be more frequent

funny, I get them all the time. In fact, I'd say that if I had it to do over again, I would go with a medium cargo/medium threat/slow speed vessel.

the least bad can happen to that, based on the events I have seen.

-small cargo means you can lose significant cargo during one of the events.

-low threat means you can't ward off other attacking vessels, and 2 Hird inevitably get moderate injuries.

you could also go fast speed instead of medium or high intimidation, but I don't think there was a high speed, medium cargo option.

if there is, then that might be even better.

high speed, low intimidation, medium cargo.

then you can just outrun everyone and still not worry about losing cargo.
