Greetings friends!
I have AoP2: Gentlemen of Fortune installed here, and thank you for the awesome work! But i need a little help here.
I am finding very difficult to stay afloat in the sea, and need a few tips to survive. My main problem is no matter which nation i choose as soon i exit my safe and dear land, there is always some pirates yelling:YAAARRRRHHHhhh FREE LOoooTTttt!!! from very far and coming very quickly in my direction. I usually i can't "out run" them and so we start to fight.
Trying to sink them is hopeless, as my starting ship have only two cannons each side and the enemy usually have 8 to 12, the best i have done was load up a lot of ammunition and powder and try to fight'em as i can't "out rum" but after a very long battle on 6x speed and running out of ammo i was only able to put their "hull health" to 75%.
So unable to "out run" and unable to fight all that remains was boarding, at first i got owned but after reading a guide to get in a corner and fight all the crew alone i was able to start winning... The problem is that it fell too much like "cheating" and non-historical.
One last question: Is normal starting as pirate to be attacked by other pirates? They seen to ignore my black flag and act like i am from any other nation.
So my friends, which steps should i follow to start exploring those seas and finally leave the land?
Thank you again and sorry for my english.
