They'll now move towards it and pound it with grape shots while I trail the ship and capture it. Ok so I swap to a faster ship and tell my guys to attack my target. The entire "last ship damaged" thing doesn't seem to work right. I noticed that if I want to attack a specific ship, and another ship already has this targeted, I can swap to that ship and tell my ships to attack my target. They focus on one target and go for that one. When I tell my peoples to attack my target, they often attack a target that isn't actually my target.

HOW TO USE 'ATTACK MY TARGET' - This feature seems a bit iffy. I usually swap to one of my more maneuverable ships and capture with those. Now we move to grape shot and kill their sailors so we can capture more easily. Ok so the sails are down now or they're very low, now what? Because I use faster, more manueverable ships for my AI buddies, they get hit a lot less so the damage taken/given ratio goes up in my favor by a great deal.Īlso note that AI seems to be pretty stupid with regards to shoals, more on that later.

Enemy manueverability goes down a great deal while their sails are down.

The double broadsides will happen at least once, during the start of the fight when you charge into the enemy (note that your AI ships will sail to the side whereas you go in full force (and also take more damage)).įor the next part, I tear down sails of whatever is near me, bonus points if one of my AI ships is targeting this already, sails go down faster and I can move to the next ship. This means that you do about 133% damage compared to the enemy but more importantly, you wear their sails down faster. So by piloting your own ship, you have broadsides coming from 4 sides in total (2 from yourself, 1 from aiship1, another 1 from aiship2) You'll notice that AI controlled ships only fire from one side onto their own target (EDIT: They do fire from both sides when they have the opportunity but they won't try to make that opportunity happen), you can fire from both sides with targets on both sides. Since I can pilot one ship myself, I take the liner who has the largest amount of cannons and I head straight for the enemy. You'll see that your ships each take a target, they spread out. The liner I pilot myself, the other two I may swap to during the fight. I start the fight with 3 ships, usually at least one liner and 2 military frigates or corvettes. If you really want to destroy them, you can still destroy them after the neutering process. So there's a neutering process and a capturing process. Since you're prepping the enemy ships for capture, you neuter them, once neutered, they can't hurt you, so you win. But more importantly, I take less damage too.Ĭapturing instead of destroying is easier. I have to pay for repairs and I become poorer as a result. Then when they're sitting ducks, you kill off their sailors with grape shot (cannister shot in this game) and then you capture them.Īs a pirate game veteran, I don't destroy ships, I capture as many of them as possible.

Using one ship, I snared the enemy ships by destroying their sails with chain balls. I found out I need to have a bigger convoy to carry additional special cannonballs. I barely won my first fight using just one ship. I didn't start fighting until the pirates showed up. Maybe this was fixed in the patches that have been released over these 7 months but combat is relatively easy to me. I see a lot of 7 month old posts on this subreddit about the combat being impossible. You don't have to wait a long time to kill all sailors, just have less of them on their side. Use 3 ships, swap them all to chain, then once enemy sails are gone, use grap and capture. TL DR: start with chain balls, then move to grapeshot (cannister shot) and capture instead of destroy. I'm explaining a more beginner-style usually works 99% of the time method that requires you to repair after a few fights.) (Caveat: some people prefer to run with one ship only and do very long battles. So here's all my knowledge from about 4-5 days of playing PR3, steam version, with harbour master DLC.

I played the Port Royale and patrician series before but I got my start in these pirate/trading games with Corsairs and the X series (space sim stuff)
#PORT ROYALE 3 GUIDE BOOK OFFLINE#
I need to keep my mind busy so I figured I'd get an offline game. About a week ago, I found out that my internet would be gone for a week.
