For Chapter 24 : Dress as Pirates, sail to Amsterdam. At Amsterdam, I sail without moving, for 40 days. When I then enter Amsterdam, someone says there is a rumor about the Duke of Alba. After I click Amsterdam’s Port Official, and go to port, I am summoned to London. Go to London Palace. Talk to 3. Talk to Earl of Sussex. To queen, who gives you the Great Pirate crest. Talk to the three until they repeat, then leave the Palace. Go to the Shipyard to click the Shipyard Master and change to your best fighting ship. Click at upper right Ship Fleet, and Ship Parts to install the Great Pirate crest. Sail to Seville, get rid of any cargo other than timber and munitions, and at the appropriate time of day take a liner to Santa Domingo after clicking the Port Official to go to port. In Santa Domingo fully stock your best fighting ship. Then sail to San Juan, and again stock up. Sail out and the transport fleet will be straight ahead. There is one Heavy Carrack which is the Transport with 470 durability and 120 men, and four Big Carracks with around 426 durability. I did melee with the Transport. I could not defeat it with my 180 men. I restocked in San Juan, but before sailing I stocked 130 timber for repairs and 100 munitions. For this second try I used only cannon fire. Halfway through the battle I stopped repairing my sails. Fight with damaged sails. When I repaired them after winning, they had 1,500 damage. You cannot use cannon fire on the four Big Carracks. They can shoot at you. They spend their time blocking your ability to shoot at the Transport. One fought me in Melee, so I used a Bell of Withdrawal to get away. Since you ignore sail damage, focus on fixing leaks with Pails, disorder with green Calming Flags, clicking Repair if you have that skill, and clicking Penetration if you have that skill. Also click food to raise your vigor. I use Cheese Cakes. After I won, I had 141 of my 180 men left. I lost most of them in the one melee battle from which I withdrew. I started with 130 timber for repairs and 100 munitions. I won the battle with 64 timber and 70 munitions left. Note that Liza’s ship will sometimes block your shots when she is next to you. Return to London by sailing to Santa Domingo, getting rid of any cargo other than timber and munitions, then when the time is right take the Liner back to Seville. Then sail to London.
