To summarize:
Quote:
So a pirate merchant is a viable career
That is from Spinnaker Sam, the quasi-dev in my books given his knowledge of the game and history in the community.
I don't quite follow the "never lose a port for more than 72 hours" comment though.
Scenario 1:
Pirates take over Tortuga, and thereby gain access to whatever resources are at that port and its trading house. Now would they keep that port under their control until a National cam and took it over? Or do they lose control after 72 hours? I think it is the former.
Scenario 2:
Pirates lose Tortuga to the French. Would Pirates regain control of that port after the 72 hours expire, and hold it again until a National came roaring in again? Recreant hints that this would be the case but I dont know it that makes sense in light of how the victory point system works.
Anyone know that system and can provide insight if the priate port control seems consistent?
