Or do I treat this as an impasse with neither side desiring to attack and just sail deeper into enemy waters for the sake of exploration?Īttacking is the only decision I control, but I'll not have control over it for much longer. Or do I hope they don't have anything in the area and try to retreat? So do I roll the dice for a chance at glory? However, the enemy is alerted to my presence now, and I may very well face an enemy Square-Rig which will just straight up kill me.


Here's the question: Should I attack anyways? I'm risking 65 Production (Square Rig + Warrior) to potentially kill a LOT more, depending on how much is loaded on that ship. It was a mistake to build a warship without the benefits of the Lighthouse. This means that although my ship is graced with 3 Attack-strength which can equal the 3 Defense-strength of a Veteran Caravel (2*1.5), with only 8 HP to the Caravel's 10 the chance of winning is low. Veterancy is potent sure, but that should make this a 50-50 fight, should it not?Ī quick look at the unit stats tells me that Square-Rigs were nerfed to have only 8HP instead of the standard 10HP. My Square-Rig sails to the south-west of Incan Croatia and spies prey in these waters: A Czech caravel, doubtless filled with valuables!Īnd find that my prey is too tough! Only a 31% chance of success?
