Guns are useless - 2009/10/06 00:25

Is it just me, or does anyone else find canon etc. to be useless in this game. It's so much more effective just to put 100% of the crew to fighting right before you engage the enemy, and then just charge the flagship. You can take down fleets of 10 ships with just 1, even if their ships are each carrying more sailors than your own ship initially.

I always found it strange that even though you set the number of sailors manning the rigging/sails to 0%, the ship still seems to maneuver fine in combat.

Yeah...guns are useless. Even when I am going around just doing piracy, I pretty much get the biggest crew I can have with a decent range, and devote the rest of the space for cargo. Really no sense in carrying guns or investing money in the good ones.

Might be just me, but I love to sink ships by firing. You don't get the treasure but when money isn't a problem you still get to sink your enemy in only a few hits. If it's always against the same country you weaken the said country, if you keep sinking all their battle fleets you'll eventually see them fight with Caravela Latina's or the like.

I like to fight with big bad fleets. I know it's not necessary, but I think it's fun when you're at the point of making *anyone* flee after 1 turn. Including the big bearded ones. Love to see them all happy to get me, then see their fleet row, row, row away after just one good hit.

I think guns are very effective if you use it well. If you invest an important amount of money in shippards of ports around northern europe, like Antwerp, they start to build fantastic battle ships that can carry a lot of men and guns, that is the best thing to do if you want to be the perfect pirate.
