![]() ![]() Try to get in close, hit your enemy where they're weak, such as the stern, then get out fast before they can retaliate. The BC is one of the fastest ships in the game, make use of that. When in the Basic Cutter, try to use your size and speed to your advantage. Once you get to a high enough rank, you can't hire fleets, so it's better to get as many as possible early on while you can. Essentialy, having a fleet gives you 3x gold gain. Plus, you'll quickly earn back the money spend on the fleet, because you're awarded bonus money for any damage your fleet inflicts. ![]() A fleet will also make moving vulnerable trading ships much easier. Two Cutters cost about 36k, which sounds like a lot, but having two extra ships on your side in a battle will make most fights a piece of cake. A fleet is a group of AI ships (maximum 2) that will join your side when you enter a battle or mission. New players should try to get a fleet as soon as possible. If you need help with missions, ask in your nation's chat, you'll more than likely get a few willing volunteers. The community in this game is very nice and helpful, and there's a handy "Help" tab in the chat window if you need to ask for assistance, although it's a global chat. Joining a big clan early on is a good idea, as most clans will help you with missions, trading, or capturing new ships. Unfortunately, PvE has no conquest system at the moment, so if you'd rather spend your time conquering enemy nations, join a PvP server. Your enemies will always be AI, so you won't have do deal with overpowered enemy players that prey on newbies. If you're new to Age of Sail games, I recommend choosing the PvE server. Alternatively, you could be like me and enter a battle without figuring out how to fire my cannons first (Not advised, It doesn't go well.) Also, the game is still in Alpha development, so watch out for strange bugs and broken mechanics. So check out Youtube for some starter tutorials, there's plenty there that will teach you the basics. First off, this game has no tutorial system whatsoever. ![]()
