This happen to anyone else?

I was in a battle with another Galleon (on journeyman level) and well we were going for it shot for shot until, we both took each others masts and then we sat there staring at each other as we both couldn't move (like `0-1` knts) and in doing so couldn't get a good angle to try to end battle. After ten minutes real time I had to quit battle and reload a previous save, lucky for me I had only recently saved. But basically GAME WAS OVER from that point on. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

Don't you know that the game autosaves when you: starting a battle, entering a port and when you quit the game?

Funny scenario though. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Thanks dude

Dude no I didn't, funny thing is I just finished advising a guy to read book and yet I have only had a brief look (guilty as charged <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" /> )

Back to the question at hand, anyone else get stuck like this? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />

Well....i once chewed the heck out of a spanish war galleon's sails with a brig, only to have him somehow tack over across the wind with scraps left for sails and lay into me with about 18 cannon of chain shot....took my sails almost all the way out and left me foundering inside his gun arc. i was NOT happy. I couldnt close with him, couldnt run, and basically i was stuck into a slug fight with a heavier vessel with about the same number of guns. I won eventually, but i had to sink him since i couldnt close. My sails were at 90% damage and hull was about the same. I was also down to 4 cannon. Friggin repair bill cost more than i got from that battle and the one before it lol. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
I've had that also, its rather frustrating that you cannot just quit a battle when both masts have been lopped
 
moral O dis story,don't get yer arse shot off,it is kinda funny ye gotta admit <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
It says in the manual that a battle is ended when...
There is a victory, the other ship escapes or when nightfall arrives. So I guess you've got to wait until it gets dark.

However saying that, I've had battles during the nightfall, but not into the wee small hours of the night.

Perhaps it's another gameplay bug or the manual is wrong?
 
Aye, dem galleons seem tew git becalmed rather easily, makin' de battle very long indeed! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I tried waiting until nightfall once, but it just started getting brighter again. I guess nightfall cuts down the distance that you have to be from your enemy in order to lose him, but in my case we were floating very close to each other and the night did not stop the fight...
 
Ouch dude!
