3 Is ther som register of the ships so you can see who many guns they can have ore do you have to try it yourself?

4 is it posibel too use more then one ship in a sea battle, ie 2 vs 2 ship battle ore more? I know that the AI can fight wiht two ore more ships.

Others might disagree, but this is my understanding of your questions:

1. You only get to keep one ship, your current flag ship. As a result it sometimes makes sense to sell all other ships before you divide the plunder to get the most gold / fewest crew.

2. The dueling pistol is used automatically at the beginning of a duel. The same is true for the brace of pistols. It might give you a slight advantage in where you start, but I haven't analyzed it too closely. (at the moment I don't see that it hurts you, and it adds a cool animation before your duel.)

3. Not sure, but taking each ship and sailing it around to see how it perofrms I consider one of the more fun things about the game.

4. Nope, you're stuck with one. But, if that one gets sunk / destroyed you are automatically put aboard your next ship of the fleet so you can in essense attack with multiple ships, but not at the same time...

Darn, My post did not take.. hmm hehe at least now I do not have to retype EVERYTHING as Racker has already answered. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />


1. Yes what Racker posts, but instead of "sometime" sell other ships, I suggest " always". You can only have one, so might as well get the money for the other, they will just be lost. I also sell all food and cannon. If you restart a career you will get it back.

3. The manual! Us English version is pges `97-109`. Whatever version you have I am sure its there. In addition, the "`Pirate-O`-Pedia" lists all ships and stats by name.
