Thanks heaps for a fantastic, and very addictive game! I loved the game this is "inspired" by... and this lets me get my pirate action on the go on my Android phone.
I started playing on Adventurer level with "True Pirate" enabled, and refused to lower it. Needless to say, the first several careers I had were short lived, but that only added to the fun.
I have finally managed to survive long enough that I have built my pirate into a powerhouse, feared by all ships across the seas. I am at Vice Admiral for Britain and Holland, have a fully upgraded War Galleon, all the specialists, and a full crew. I have captured the treasure ship 5-6 times, and have plundered many towns. I have a huge pile of treasure stashed away for my retirement.
I am now trying to get my reputation up with France and then finally Spain, hopefully I can succeed before I am forced to retire!
I just have 2 questions/bugs with the game.
1) How do you capture towns for nations other than your starting nation? Even though I am now hated by Britain, and have a letter of marque for France who they are at war with, every time I invade a town I still only get the option to invade "For Great Britain". Meaning I cannot capture town for France, making my progression through the ranks for them a lot slower!
2) How do you successfully invade large towns? Since the game only lets you have 1 ship, you can only get 375 crew (with a War Galleon, maybe other ships give more?). This means successfully invading a town with 800 or 900 soldiers is pretty much impossible. It would be nice if you could have multiple ships in this game in order to carry more cargo and crew. Like in the original game this one is based off, only the "flagship" would participate in naval combat, the other ships would purely be used for carrying cargo and crew.
Again, thank you so much for the great game, top work!
