YOUR CREW
Mutiny is always a threat to pirate captains. By keeping your ship well-stocked, monitoring the length of your journeys, and stopping at ports and taverns along the way, you will ensure your crew's happiness. As Captain, you must always be vigilant of your crew's mental and physical well being.
ITEMS
Consumables help maintain the crew's temperament on long journeys. These include sacks of oranges and drink barrels.

DOCKING
To make port and disembark onto an island, simply sail into the vicinity of the docks on an island. The Sailing mode will automatically transition into the appropriate Island Navigation screen.
When ready to leave an island, select the "Set Sail" option from the Island Navigation screen.
SEA COMBAT
Sea Combat Arena
When you engage with a hostile ship on the world map, you will enter "Sea Combat."
Boarding Mode
When an enemy ship becomes severely damaged, but not destroyed, it becomes disabled and unable to sail or move. At this point you can ram the ship and prepare to board.
If boarding is successful, you will enter an Adventure map that corresponds to the type of enemy ship you are battling. At this point you fight the various enemies and collect treasure, sacks of oranges, and drink barrels to replenish your supplies. When you have successfully returned to your ship, play returns to the Seafaring map and the enemy ship sinks.
Escaping Battle
Escape battle by "running" and maintaining a minimum distance from the enemy ship. There will be a small Pirating score penalty for running from battle.
JOLLY ROGER ABILITIES
These are special abilities that can be activated during Sea Combat. They can be purchased from merchants or acquired by boarding enemy ships and stealing their supply.
