When you sail out and you have no particular mission, do you attack any and every ship of a nation your at war with? Or do you only go after special ships? Meaning do you attack every trade galleon or only ones with immigrants, etc?

I choose my targets to optimize my favor points with the four nations.

1. I attack every anonymous pirate ship and Indian canoe that comes within range. This gains favor points with all four nations. It's usually just sufficient to keep me from being locked out of Spanish ports.

2. I intercept invasion forces headed for cities of my own nationality.

3. I look for a nation (other than my own) that is at war with multiple opponents and pick on it.

I always attack Spanish ships because I NEVER side with Spain, and every other nation is almost always at war with Spain, plus, they carry alot of gold Sailor

Okay, so maybe I exagerrated a bit Razz
Although, I attack most spanish ships, and I don't really TARGET trade or treasure gallons, although I attack them more than the warships of Spain although this doesn't limit me from attacking them since I mainly attack the ships for Food/Enjoyment Sailor

Aye, they get upset when I feed them the rats on board- with or without the gunpowder I give 'em for seasoning...

Aye, and when one nation is at war with the three other powers, give heed, mateys. You can get favour three times as fast by capturing the ships and ports of that lone power.

Check your Captain's Log screen for the diplomatic situation, and do so often! Use the shifting alliances to your advantage!

And when in doubt, attack native canoes and pirate ships. These unhappy coves have no friends, only enemies...instant favour for ye. And, all four powers will welcome ye into port.

My optimal goal is to obtain as many points as possible. Go for all 124 points- once you retire, your Hall of Fame doesn't display all of the numbers any more, just if you earned all of the points, listed in their categories.

And always look for the maximum reward with the least chance of defeat! That's how the laws of nature work, and piracy too!

If you are retiring with 124 points you are still 2 points shy of the maximum.
