| I just started, so are the cannons worthless now or does it only seem that way, even at level 10 damage upgrade it hardly does anything. |
| Cannons are fodder for the enemy. But do extra damage against large creatures. So focus on the big boys! |
canons are awesome if u don't have much shooters like classic de...
canons also good to take out enemy cannons... |
| Looks like the army while carrying 5 less than max tonnage and carrying minimum tonnage is same :/ |
| Does anyone know how long this Pirate Event will last? |
| until April 18 |
| Thanks Night Crawler. :) |
Hauls: 50
Freight delivered: 3466.00 t.
Profit: 16,079 g.
Big difference in prices at midnight, cement was going for 1000 gold then, now 694, so 300 less profit, shame I could only do a few runs late last night. |
Hauls: 50
Freight delivered: 4726.00 t.
Profit: 23,788 g.
Lost total of 9 battles :( |
Hauls: 32
Freight delivered: 1000.00 t.
Profit: 2,561 g.
No losses. All battles in minimum cargo.
That's the end for me in this event. |
@Night crawler, taking less than max tonnage and carrying minimum tonnage is not the same.
I tried it out and in both times I took 5 less than max tonnage I lost due to way larger AI army than when I was carrying minimum. |
I know that's what supposed to happen, but the AI which I got while carrying minimum tonnage was almost as same as the AI I got while taking 5 less than max tonnage.
Though it happened once only, now the AI seems playable at minimum tonnage. |
i just wish we could place the cannons ourselves.
There is little use for n°2, as it always get killed by women pirates or spirit, and that's a big penalty.
Also i tried to increase cannon 1 to lvl 12: basicly it got 10 more damage than a cannon at lvl 5.. but cost more than 100 silvers!
pretty disappointing. |
| I have upgraded the cannons all the way to level 12 as well. At zero upgrade the base damage of it was 23-46 damage and would only kill 2-4 small units from afar and double from up close, now at level 12 upgrade it has become 78-101 damage and kills only 6-8 small units and double of it from up close. They have practicly neutered the cannons, had I known this I would have kept the silver for only upgrading to the next ship. |
happy with 50 x 4.24 fsp. even found a few good arma's.
cost is high though since getting very little gold from min cargo :d |
I have two cannons at 13 and one at 14
A salvo of mine and enemy cannons from my last battle - first one I looked for and nothing anything special
Cannon deal 158 damage to Buccaneers. 10 perish.
Cannon deal 158 damage to Giants. 1 perish.
Cannon deal 118 damage to Sphynx immortals. 1 perish.
Luck befalls Cannon!
Cannon deal 1364 damage to One-eyed pirates. 11 perish.
Luck befalls Cannon!
Cannon deal 379 damage to Buccaneers. 22 perish.
As you can see their damage is anything but insignificant. Of course highly variable from one in range with luck against a large creature, versus one at range for a not large creature. Not sure whether archery talent or bow of midnight still helps with their damage or not (I would expect it does). SO can imagine for different factions their benefit could be quite different. |
@Lord MilesTeg, I have 3 cannons and all cannons are at damage level 15 and here is my salvo from my last battle, I killed the enemy cannon before it could fire, so all are from my cannons at long range:
Cannon deal 115 damage to Buccaneers. 8 perish.
Cannon deal 130 damage to Buccaneers. 6 perish.
Cannon deal 112 damage to Women corsairs. 9 perish.
Cannon deal 120 damage to Women corsairs. 10 perish.
Cannon deal 132 damage to Women corsairs. 10 perish.
I played with max arts, from the looks of it due to your archery skill, your cannons do more damage than mine. |
for Lawton:Thanks for that.
It would seem therefore that some factions will have an easier time of it later on through a pirate event since their cannons will do more damage and so get more from their investment in silver. Luck, archery and bows are all more beneficial later on than earlier. I wonder if that will be reflected in the faction distribution of the top players in this event? |
| Hmn, should have stuck with my ship of 110 T capacity. Big jump up it would seem to the 150T capacity |
| cannons are great when you target the large creatures as they do extra damage. :) |
