Contest: Newcomer's Guide

[Grogggy]

My essential Newcomer's guide is now posted in Player Guides in Help. Please consider it for a prize. As it is very clear and simple it will not require further posts or screenshots.

recently new players who start as merchant make a mistake when they are asked to build their first ship by the tutorial missions i had this problem with 3 players so far
they buy the ship put 5 upgrades into cannons and 1 into sails and that is completely wrong on a howker

Very drastic reprocusions for being on the wrong side of the balance I describe in my guide, which is why I should win the prize for identifying and defining the early roles and balances you must strike.

I myself made god awful mistakes, catastrophic problems in the "opening" as we say in chess. So much so I contemplated quitting and starting over.

Luckily Maj, who gets no credit whatsoever for being a good teacher and good guy, took me under his wing enough to get my wings spread. I am genuinely and non brainwashed greatful for the true pirate king.

Being a pirate, as I am, is nearly impossible in some ways--you don't even have access if you could afford it to MOW for example. So NO MATTER WHAT, a true pirate, that is a pirate as country, will always be at some disadvantage in direct warfare.

This requires careful planning, voodoo, etc--we need more help. How about an extra "Pirate card" each 12 hours?

How about some pirate ability to see into trade routes without voodoo?

How about a completely different system for fame? ALL too often I pull off a spectacular raid, only to have the fame syphoned off by heavies--what did they do?

I could go on and on, but actual pirates in this game could use a break....

[Spastic]

so yeah, who won?

Will you extend it?

What about groggy's post about the difficulties of pirates?

[Grogggy]

I think we should both win something, Spastic:)

[Mohammed]

As I already said, we will try to reward sufficiently all efforts even if they rank poorly in the competition final results. So give it a try

aye cappy u well like captain jack said here

[Grogggy]

Yeah, I saw that too...so I'm sure he wanted 30 entries, but maybe he'll still reward those who tried!
