Third ship for me has been doable so far as well. Doing Battlewise Wiz build with emphasis on attack and not so much on def. Running into the undead pirates is especially nice. The reward for this is likely going to be an Ocean Set art right?
As far as we’ve seen so far, how does the Ocean Set compare to the Pirate Set? |
| Is there a way to predict whether you will face undead pirates or living ones? |
for Ryric:
No |
| Wht r Ur scores today guys ! |
| I just upgraded to 5th level ship to be able to load ammunition (currently best profit) and suddenly the enemy turned from very easy to extremely hard. In the last battle, I faced 2 x 22 nix warriors, along with several stacks of sea witches, who buffed them and crippled my army. I was not able to even make a dent in the enemy army :( |
| I guess that’s a sign. To upgrade your cannons! xD |
| Anyone able to load max on ship 4? or is this a point where you go to max - 5 tonnes? |
| for Lord MilesTeg: On ship 4 I carried 2x sand, which is 110 tonnes. I suppose there is always the option to mix the goods in such a way that you reach max capacity. Or did you mean that will fully loaded ship the difficulty is too high? |

Ship 4 max lol. I’m actually so bad at this game, but the cannons clutched it out 😂 |
| Generally the top difficulty for any ship is max load. The difficulty is proportionally much less when you drop the load by 5 tonnes below max. As such for the best progression you want to max the ship as much as you can, though equally best not to lose, so trying to find out whether to try max load, or max load - 5 tonnes. |
| You can replay losses, they don’t count total battles. You just lose money on your load lol |
| And arts |
| Alright, so you have worked it out, I don;t like losing! |
| Sometimes, you just gotta take em as they come XD |
| Bit of team work and research never heard nobody, sniff sniff. |
For those interested to judge difficulty, I did boat 4 on 5 less than max and then on max, both seemed fine without upgrades to cannons.
5 less than max

It is questionable how much does max load -5 vs. max load really affects the difficulty without doing many repetitions. I did all 24 wins with full load and the difficulty varied a lot (not mention undead pirates are always a joke).
Last 7 battles were fought on a 5th level ship (fully loaded to 150 tonnes), the difficulty varied from being beaten with hardly damaging the enemy to winning with ~60% remaining army (or 80% when facing undead).
When the event started, the page clearly showed the expected difficulty depending on load (easy, medium, hard). Today it only says "difficulty depends on load", which is a pity, as you have to "guess" what the difficulty may be. |
The difficulty bands while only fully able to be evaluated with lots of data can be approximated by following the number of cannons. In this the pattern is fairly simple
Max load gives the same number of cannons as yourself, lower than this gives one less cannons than yourself until min load + 5, which gives 2 cannons less than you.
Historically the difference in the difficulties between these levels was reasonably clear, however it seems less so this event, though again, this may change the higher the boat level.
It feels like it is easier this time, as if they have lowered the difficulty when changing the rules to become 12 wins, rather than 12 battles and hence perhaps avoiding the situation where people run out of durability for the ship. |
the payout is so bad this looks like another golddrain scam from admin
i wonder how much milking of the players is enough? |
| Payout would be good when you have a high ship capacity |
