Having Monster Fleets - And keep them: Guide

[Admiral Nelson]

Oh yes when you are active; you can carry as much as you want to be honest...

But when inactive, I suggest this amount.

But we all have our opinions - Joe Boot who had 9 MoW's, 16 Sotls and 200 Trade Ships had 25 M at hand at all times. And managed to keep them safe when he was active.

This is nice and all, but attackers can attack my trade ships to drain me of gold before taking my ships. Is there a way to fight this? Or do I just hold more gold in my hand and get a greater lost in raids?

[Haron]

When having as many fleets as you have, Grimrock, raids become costly, and not being drained is difficult. However, that is as it should be, considering the tremendous income such a trade fleet brings. What you need, is a guild that looks after you while you sleep.

You can still do some smart things with your setup. But with over 600 ships, that is over 120 fleets, being drained when all of them are plundered is likely. The math is simply against you.

And down the drain goes my plan for having 1 attack fleet in each port.

That all depends whether your active in the raids - As obviously if you are active you can drop your purse to a reasonable amount like Lodswe does. So the attacker does not gain much, you do not lose much and hopefully he will think its unprofitable to hit. As Haron says though, with your ship count (600) it may be a bit more challenging. I am right in thinking though, you have ships outside your fleet?

[Grimrock Litless]

Yes, I do drop my gold when I am active in a raid, I drop it to around 500k, tho, its not much, but it saves my money.

I believe you are offline at upkeep, unless I am wrong.

If so change the payment to Manuel then pay it once your online - So a Pirate can not cast Taxation.

Bump for a noob that asked...
