Please note that the perk system has changed dramatically since this video was released, so much of the information found here on perks will be out of date.
After watching this video I loaded up Naval Action, got into a Questmaster battle vs a 6th rate. He was nearly dead to sinking, so I go in for 1 more broadside. I go against the wind because I figure the battle will be over after I shoot him. He ends up boarding me and by using this tactic especially with defend and brace vs deck guns I was able to live with lower than 10 morale for like 10 rounds and comeback to make him lose all his morale! Thank you so much KairoS!
Thanks for these videos on naval action, there is very little content on RU-vid and very little updated information on the Internet, these tutorials are worth gold
Is it me or did you not actually explain much at all here? You say it's rock paper scissors, without saying which is which and what beats what. What's the difference between brace and defend? How does Preparation work? What is the significance of marines and muskets? All I learned is 'attack at the last second' and I don't know why.
To be honest I’m more of a sinker than a boarder. That’s why I fly BlackBeards flag. I give the npcs no mercy 😅lol but I really like this video it helps a lot especially if I choose to start boarding the enemy npcs. Thanks man
@kairos4486 hey I've tried this out and it seems that either I'm encountering a bug or the mechanic has changed, maybe you could help - When I'm waiting to "ambush" the enemy ship with an attack the button will become unavailable halfway through the round preparation. This actually happens with all functions for me. So if I don't select something at the beginning I will remain in brace in that round no matter what. I literally just lost a ship due to this so I'm not sure what I've done wrong (I'll note that I have enough preparation to execute the attack)
It does sound like you're low on preparation; but if you're sure it's high, and the buttons are still greying out half way though, then I would guess it might be some kind of bug. I recommend asking around on the Naval Action Official Discord.
anyone know if this still works? trying to learn the game, when i tried this i could only do brace one time, after that it was grayed out, i had 80 plus preparation.
It depends on how good the ship is. Usually I sink them because I have missions to kill 5th rates running, and you get more experience for sinking them.
Generally I find the best way to make money fast is to get some high quality trade items and sell them at the ports which consume them. However, if you're new, you can make a decent amount of reals by doing cargo missions and capturing AI trade ships to loot their cargo.
