Ahoy, everyone!
I have a game report.
I played a game as the pirate faction, I was playing against the American faction. My fleet comprised of the Pride, Neptunes Hoard, and Executioner. The Executioner had a firepot specialist, and the Pride had the linked Jean Lafitte.
I was playing against a fleet comprised of the Freedom, the Peacock, and the USS James Madison. The James Madison had a helmsman, and the Freedom had a linked Commodore David Porter.
I was playing this game by myself, because I was experimenting with these factions and fleet builds. I was playing both sides, basically. I have nobody to play with at present time, which is kind of sad. I need to find some people to get interested in this game.
Anyway, the Pirates pulverized the American fleet, and won by two gold points. The Executioner with a firepot specialist proved very deadly, especially with its ability to eliminate a crew from a ship if it hits.
All in all, a successful experiment with the pirate faction. I learned some good strategies and a good fleet build that works for me so far.
