Peter Gabriel Wins


....FIVE life. Doesn't get much luckier than that!

Wow, that's some impressive win.
Will you share your setup ?

Well, my first ship has 9 on both round shot and bronze cannon, with the rest scattered pretty evenly, to start with some heavy damage
My second has 9 and 10 on Copper Plating and Bronze cannon to hit and try to avoid being hit.
3rd one is even all round
4th has 9 on round shot, bronze cannon and iron to make it powerful, not so good on dodging though
And the 5th has 8 on all the top four
(the sails and hammocks tend to be about 5 on all of them)

Ship1: lost to the opponent, had 54 life left
Ship2: destroyed this ship, taking 147 damage first
Ship2: Lost, leaving opponent with 202 life left
Ship3: Beat the other ship, but took 338 damage in the process
Ship3: Lost, leaving the opponent with 81 life left
Ship4: Beat the other ship, attacking first, so taking no damage
Ship4: Lost, leaving the opponent with 108
Ship5: Beat other ship, taking 149 damage
Ship5: Won with 5 life left.

Close all the way, so not really sure about how good the differeces are, especially without knowing the opponents set up! But having one that fires first in a close match in the middle can help even things up, other than that not really sure what can be drawn from it >.<

Came down to luck of the draw methinks!

Perhaps the last ship of the other player was a weak one. Perhaps it would be a good strategy to position as strong ship as last because from what I have seen with upgrades, they mostly play a role when there are differences between ships.

I think that the total amount of attributes allocated to ships should be reduced in order to have more different approaches on ship building.
Perhaps we could even add special captains (crew experience + more).
