Tips!

puh! my officers never die! i'm not that stupid to take weak officers with me! mine have 300+ hp, all combat skills, and an excellent solingen rapier and a fine brace of large pistols each! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> HAHAAAAA! without cheats, in case you where wondering. by the way, my boarding crew all have similar items to that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
But you don't start with a crew like that.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

btw: Even you 300hp people will die very fast without Defense and Thoughness, believe me.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

I personally prefer a very difficult game: RPG style trading, swashbuckler mode, skill increase set at 1 and a very high salary multiplier.

Wrong. My officers kill the enemy very fast and they get huge amounts of experience. Atm I'm somewere in the middle of the game and all my officers (six) are around level 28-32. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Moreover there are lesser casualties among the crew which is also cheaper.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
i said that they had all combat skills, including toughness and the defense skills. and did i happen to mention that we all have level ten combat skill and defence?
 
let me guess-artois voysey? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

What I wanted to say is that you can enter battleships with level 5 officers who have 1 melee and 1 defence but the defence and toughness skill.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

that toughness thing is true,i cant kill my own navigator.....
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is not because of the toughness perk. You simply can't do damage to your own officers.

actually you can. but not with swords.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I can!With my saber!
 
that's odd. maybe you do do damage, (you see the numbers abive him) but the officer wont get less hp?

......sometimes,min 1,mostly pulus 3,from 137 to 141......
 
did you know that you can get on top of a building in isla muelle? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> it's near the entrance to the town, next to the bridge.
 
I have another hint:

In the deck-menu, where you can deal with prisoners you can always plunder the chests and boxes like in a capturing fight. So you can always make some money or equipment when you're short of it. This is especially helpful at the start of the game. It works repeatingly.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
except when you have that stupid chest bug. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />
 
It works REPEATINGLY? I know there's something in those chests at the start of the game, but I don't think they should be automatically refilled with stuff. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
oh! that explains why i never found anything. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
Please note: It SHOULD work repeatingly on boardings, but it should work only once on your own ship.

It's always been like that in pre 13 and Build 13.

They get reset every day I think.

If that was changed so you only find things once, might that be affecting all the chests?
Might that be creating the "Empty chest" bug others have described?
