Viking conquest Sea King not inccreasing over 4

[Gormedios]

i bought Viking conquest and started playing, got a few good ships, a warband and started raiding, the only problem is my Sea King skill which allows me to get more ships wont go over 4.
i even exported my char. and tried to change the skills by modifiing the char document but that did not help as it stayed the same when i imported the char. is this a glitch? or is it not meant to go over 4?

get better ships

I think you're stuck with 4 max, likely in order to keep you from flooding the seas with 47 million ships.

4 appears to be the max. You can buy 4 busse and carry 90 troops in each of them for a total of 360 troops.

if i put sea-king skill points at my companions, does it affect my fleet?

No. It's a leader skill, and 4 is the maximum, which gives you 7 ships. Seven of the biggest ships can carry close to seven hundred troops, which is more than enough for anything.

I didn't know Sea King maxed out at 4 but I do know that I have a maximum of seven ships PER FLEET. That might be a rather important distinction for cyber sailors to know about.

I keep six ships in Cell Rigmonaid and another fleet of six ships in Dun Breatann. That way I can get to where I need to be without ever having to waste the time and resources making the trip through the "dead zones" when going around Britain. North or South, the trip takes over a day, wastes food and lowers morale with next to nothing in terms of commerce or resupply.

Having only six ships means I can always take advantage of captured vessels and sell them at the next port.

Only four of my ships were commissioned and I understand there is a cap of seven for those as well. I don't know if there is a limit on how many fleets we keep.

Nope, no fleet caps that I am aware of. I use this strategy too. But my save file got corrupted so can't test out if you can have multiple fleets stationed outside of ports. I know that the game will denote 1 fleet on the map if not harbored in a port with you in it. Not sure about 2 or more yet...

Tuidjy is very reliable on these forums. He is typically the best person to ask for anything M&B related.
