Run Away Tip
If you run into a group of baddies you think you cannot beat then run away and
go past the last point where the game loads and they won't follow you.
Easy Money
Go to any shop and ask to talk with them. An option will appear that asks the
owner if he has any supplies that he needs delivered. If you do this with
bigger ships you can get at least 30,000 dollars a trip. All you have to do is
travel to another island of his choosing and deliver the goods to that islands
store. I have 4 battleships and I have gotten up to 190,000 dollars for just
one trip.
Pirates of the Caribbean
You can add more than one person onto your other 3 ships and all of their scores
will stack with that ships captains scores.
There are two different ways to do this
1) On the Open Sea screen (where you can see all of your ships) get close to
another of your ships and a swap cargo icon will appear. Go into the swap cargo
menu and there is an option to switch captains. Under this option there is a
screen that has 4 slots, one of them is the captain of that ship. Click on one
of the other 3 and then assign passengers to each one. When you do this the
DISAPPEAR from your passenger list. You will need to get more party members at
the tavern if you want to fill up all your ships. DON'T sell the ship with the
other 3 crewmembers still on it. You will lose anyone that is still on board.
2) The second way to do this is to capture a ship and do it when you assign a
captain to the captured ship.
Another Easy money
Make sure you have a high commerce skill. Then go to the tavern and find an
officer that's for hire. Ask him how much he costs and he will tell you a lower
price. Then say that's still too much. Then talk to him again and ask him how
much he costs. He will now say the second price he offered. Tell him it's too
much and he will lower it again. Keep doing this until it goes into the
negatives. Basically, he will be giving you money for you to hire him.
Ding Dong Ditch
Go to a door in any part of the game and press Action. Your character will knock on the door, then you can run away.
Stack captain scores
You can add more than one person, other than the Captain, onto your other three ships. All of their scores will
stack with that ship's captain's score. There are two different ways to do this. The first method is at the
"Open Sea" screen (where you can see all of your ships), get close to another one of your ships and a swap
cargo icon will appear. Go into the swap cargo menu. There is an option to switch captains. Under this option,
there is a screen that has four slots. One of them is the captain of that ship. Click on one of the other three
slots, then assign passengers to each one. When you do this, they dissapear from your passenger list. You will
need to get more party members at the tavern if you want to fill up all your ships. Do not sell the ship with
the other three crewmembers still on it. You will lose anyone that is still on board. The second method is to
capture a ship and do it when you assign a captain to the captured ship.
