My hardest? Against the Pearl in the original PotC. One MoW, two Battleships. It was hard. Very hard. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I didnt find the Black Pearl too hard in the stock PotC. I just used the artifact straight away, and I only had 1 Battleship. Heh, I suppose thats cheating a little bit though.
 
Well, I didn't realize that I could use that "artifacty" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> thingy, so I battled it several times, wearing it down to 2/3 or 1/2 of it's health. Damn hard, it was. Then I called a friend who pointed out that I could try the commands menu, and see what I can do there...

Yey! Funny smileys!

You really like doing quick replies to my posts today. Ill probably find that you've already replied to this by the time Ive finished typing! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I fought the BP without the artifact the first time because I had NO IDEA that I could even use it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> Heh...
 
I made the mistake of raking her with grapeshot, reasoning somewhere along the line "no crew, no ship". Well, that was a mistake, after reducing the crew to six, the ship flees and being the fastest ship in the carribean it´s uncatchable unless you use the Sail-to function. It took me hours to get the goddammit thing sunk <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Aye Grimm,sunk de BP so many times de 'ard way,I'd be sett'n her HP low,don't 'ave de patience ur de time anymore <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
Well, patience isnt really a virtue on the battlewaters "Just wait a few minutes before putting out a broadside" and "wait a minute, have a break from repairing the ship, its only at 1%hull"...

The enemy doing that saved my hide on many an occasion <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Darnit, skull, now you got me tryin' to figure out which carrier she is... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
I'm thinkin'...Hermes?
But ah, I see you're another ensared by the bewitching fast schooner... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

Me, I think the hardest battle--well, the hardest I remember--was when I was testing fleets the other day (Monday? Sunday?) and I took a break to go see one of the A&M islands.
Now, I hadn't done _anything_ with that game--just started from scratch. Don't think I even repaired the lugger up to full HP. So I come to--hmm, Cayman?--and I reload to sea. And it's _swarming_ with pirates. So I sailto the harbor, thinking, well, they're probably on the back side, they won't mind if I go ashore for a peek at the jungle.
Wrong.
I had a war schooner (not a dinky fast schooner, a /war/ schooner with them ouchies known as long nines) on one side, and a galleon (!) on the other. Knowing my luck she was probably a war galleon, but I don't recall.
So I come screaming through, and manage to (1) get my bowsprit clopped off by the cliffs, (2) get a load of grape on my deck but, thank goodness (3) board the schooner.
'Tweren't a fun time (well, OK, it was) but I finally clean out the schooner. So now, well, in for a penny in for a pound, I go to see that galleon. So I lose _that_ bowsprit too on the way, but I finally get on the _other_ side (the _good_ side!) of a load of grape, and board away.
And win.

And, of course, she crashes when I try to swap to the galleon.
 
Thats computers for you <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
