Do not go face-on to your enemies and attack slowly with small ships. Instead, get a small ship and work on getting money. When you are getting a very high income, buy a small killing ship. Attack who you can hate forever. Basically be English and attack the French or the Dutch. When the English like you, find a badly defended ship of the line and take it. Then make them fully happy again and repeat until you have five ship of the lines.
Steam shipCollect 20 artifacts, then talk to your wife. She will give you a map which will lead you to your own steam ship.
Easy winStart by using most of your money on ammunition cannons and get the most amount of sailors. Then, select "Leave Island". Sail and try to find a convoy with two ships. Make sure that they have a close difference of the amount of sailors. Use grape shots to take down the sailors and board the ship. You will win easily. Note: Do not fight with less men.
