So I have been doing pretty well on a high difficulty (it was the one below sea master). Despite having low navigations skills I've held onto a captured man o war ship, so I can hold a massive crew. So as it stands I have 3 ships, a manowar which can hold over 1100 sailors at overcapacity, and two others that can hold about 500 at over capacity.
Now over time I had acquired a good amount of weapons, and I have raided frances capital twice, and made a lot of profit naturally, currently at 1 million gold.
I have pretty much a full crew without being too far over capacity. The problem is in those raids I have pretty much been completely cleaned out of my weapon supplies. I currently only have about 150 weapons for a 2000 man crew. Yet none of the towns I go to have any good amount of weapons, the best I have found is 85 weapons in La Vega.
So how does everyone else go about acquiring bulk amounts of weapons for your crew?
And now to captured prisoners, the captains from other ships, I've got maybe 10 of them and I am at max officer capacity. So basically, I have as many prisoners as I do officers, and I would like to hire more officers that are actually useful since over time the old officers pretty much become useless. but they're still good for captaining a ship (the only ones I still have with me are devoted in loyalty, so i imagine it helps a LOT to prevent a ship from mutinying on me and losing the ship, as with a rebellious officer and a pretty content crew (good morale) they will pretty much instantly mutiny.
I have checked the dialogue options, and read the guide. No where in any of their dialogue does it mention HOW to ransom prisoners. it maybe has 5 sentences mentioning related stuff but nothing really helpful.
Basically, find out their nationality, and ransom them. That's all the guide said.
So I need some specifics of procedure. Finding out their nationality is easy enough, just talking to them their first dialogue mentions it.
So how do I actually go about ransoming them? I've tried coming close to their nations ports and talking to them but they only mention being in the middle of the sea. I've tried to see if I am to ransom them from a pirate port, but it only mentions releasing them. I've looked up in many different versions of searches to find some explanation to no avail.
Hell just kicking them out doesn't work, my rep decreases and they run through the door but they're still there when I get back.
Danke.
