Plundering fights

[Slovich]

I am not sure this is where I should post this but it is about mechanics of the game. I would like to know why there are a couple people in the game that routinely fight my war fleet and on average their first ship seems to beat my first ship over 70% of the time. This is an issue for me since I am sure we are equal in all ways. Even when I attack them I still lose more times than win. Shouldnt this number be closer to 50% since everything is equal? Please help me understand this.

Depends on the distrubition of attribute points, and number of points.

A Frigate Level 10 can beat a poorly distrubuted Ship of the Line.

How mange atts do your ship have, and how are they placed? Do you use bless, drums or favorable winds? How high is your tech level in Gunpowder and metallurgy?

Several factors:
ATT on lead ships
TECH
Voodoo active (Bless, Drums, Winds)

If all are equal it then comes down to the 1d20 die roll that happens each battle sequence.

Hope that helps

This. Take in mind that the player attacking you may be using voodoo and have better Tech.

ya except that is not possible sine I am maxed in everything and use voodoo all the time too.

Then its the 1d20 Die. Who are you fighting?

[Shadowood]

Also are you sure you are using 2 bless, 2 drums and 5 Fav winds when you lost??

Of course you are...

I bet it's Goon and Pulpop, they have suspiciously good luck in battles.
