Getting into port royal

[clavio]

My pirate is Dutch. The Dutch are waring with British. I got a quest to bring a guy to Port Royal to meet the pirate admiral. I've tried going in with the British flag up but they know im an enemy right away. Help please?

maybe English Trader's patent from pirates might work?
same Tavern NPC you pay for making things friendly with nations

You can try to sneak to the port with high developed stealth skills. There's a variety of trinkets that can you help boost your stealth skills, reducing your chances of getting caught. Otherwise, purchase an English patent from the diplomats.

Buying an English patent will switch your nationality to England. If you just want to enter an enemy city unhindered, you need a trading licence.

I got West Indian Trade license as a reward. The description says i will be able to enter english ports - but nevertheless the fort starts to fire at my ship.
So must I have the license AND switch the flag to english to enter the port "officially"?
(And no - I don't have a reward on my head - it is new game and I never battled englsi hships or patrol).

The best way I found is to go into city at 2300 hrs, that way I can still visit the bar's maitres or the brothel (for luck or leadership), alwaist escorted by a fighter (usually I take the 3) with all the trinkets I have with me.

The idea is to avoid the guard's encounters and when one of them is aproaching you, just talk to one of your fighters until the guard has gone, is good to take a good position as to get the best view.

You can do the same with merchant and cityzens.
Don't forget to have the english flag (or an english allied flag) or you wll not get the usefull option from the city habitants

If you land outside the city and sneak in through the jungle you don't have to change your flag. Just avoid the guards and take your time, I do it all the time. The gate guards leave thier posts at 2300 hours.
