I need help with capturing ships.
Hey peeps, I’ve got the mobile version and have gotten pretty good at the game. The only problem I’ve with the game is that I cannot capture ships. I know how to use the chain and grape shots properly, tried different approaches during battles, and have double checked with the tutorial. It doesn’t work. The only time capturing a ship ever works is when I do that sea warfare tutorial. Even then the game only allows me to keep one.
I have noticed that in the campaign when I board the enemy, it doesn’t matter how many or few numbers the crew has. They never lower their nation’s flag and the ship’s icon will permanently flash white. At that point I cannot interact with that ship for the remainder of the battle.
Is this a glitch that’s never been fixed? At this point, I’d be happy with just catching sloops.
