Great Game!
Some of the rumors (sorry I haven't bothered to record which ones) come up with a {} instead of a place name. Also under the known rumors status header it only shows either the first rumor that you heard or the last one (I can't remember which but only one regardless).


Those are the only bugs I've experienced.
Again...nice work!

Just downloaded this..

I go broke every time I play. It's too realistic!

Trading - the rumours are often too far away so they're gone by the time I get there. Making any money on trading other things, it seems there's little money to be made unless there is a special situation. I go through all my money on food as I sail around not finding any decent prices. I'm sure it'll come with a bit more playing, I just got 1.1.0 so I'll give it a go.

Just played a quick game. Loaded up some food and sugar, got a hot tip and went to stock up on paper at Port Royale. I did that, making enough profit on the sugar to pay for more food. I then moved off to where I had another tip (a vague one about a garrison having a lot of weapons, I didn't know if that meant high prices from them buying or low prices from them "losing" them to the black market). I got attacked by a Dutch privateer, game over.

They didn't sink my ship but I was left with nothing - no doubloons, and no cargo to sell. Plus a badly damaged ship. I didn't just surrender, I did an indecisive mix of trying to out-run and trying to damage them so they'd give up. Afterwards, I had nothing so what could I do?

Incidentally, it would be really nice if it remembered my new game details (Captain Quboid, of the good ship Desire ).

Well I have just downloaded Pirates and Traders 1.0.4 game and it is considered as an exciting and convenient tool. It also offers a single-player strategy role-playing game for Android. I played it so many time and I liked it too much than all of the other games.

This is an awesome game, congratulations to the developer!

It is hard to get the hang of the game initially, but it is definitely “winnable”. A couple of tips for new pirates:

Maximize your sailing and fencing skills (e.g., unless you are a “trader”, set your charisma to “1&#8221. Sailing skills will help you close in on ships you wish to attack and help you elude ships that are more powerful than yours. Fencing skills will help you board other ships.

When you encounter other ships, compare their strengths and weaknesses against yours before deciding to attack or flee. In order to attack, you will need to outclass them in some attribute, be it cannons or manpower. If you outclass them in manpower, try boarding them. If you outclass them in cannons, use broadside attacks instead. If you don’t outclass them, then you should try to avoid the conflict. To avoid them, either flee or surrender. Add you sailing skills to your ship’s “rigging” rating and compare that to your opponent’s rigging rating. If your opponent’s rigging rating is higher, then you might want to consider surrendering, otherwise you should be able to outrun them.

When you capture a ship, consider seizing it (in other words swapping vessels) if it has better capabilities than yours. Once you get the hang of the game, a good tactic for getting wealthy (though a little risky) is to seize better vessels, sell them at the shipyard for a profit (by “buying” a lesser quality ship for a profit), and then going out and capturing a better quality ship, and repeating the process. One key to this is by to make sure your lesser quality ship has good “rigging” so you can pick and choose your battles (by outrunning ships you don’t want to fight). And when I say capture a better quality ship, you just need to have more men or more cannons so that you can win a battle via boarding or broadsiding respectively.

HTH!

Nice game! Out of curiosity, has anyone else noticed a large drain on the battery while playing? Of course, maybe I was just playing longer than I realized!

Would it makes sense to have the cannon upgrades transferable between ships when upgrading/seizing?
Also, is there a database or list of the ships currently in game and their base stats?

Cool, thanks strategy!
