Farrago Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If you issue the Demast command to your AI fleet, is he chaining the sails or going in close trying to kill the mast with ball shot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was asking which one. I'm not even sure cause I seen them shoot both balls and chains, but I just assume it's de-sailing not demasting as it's mostly chain shot I see them fire. I'll have to play with this. I never been one to try to demast some one but lately when I been tagging traders in shallows I started to toy with demasting. AI I can knock the mast down essly, players it's a bit of a pain cause they don't stay still and well they have a repair. That and it's just faster to rage board them once you get the sails down. I kinda wish there was more than a few commands for the AI. For me I would just prefer that to be a sail shot command, but I think they pick the ammo depending on the range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I click demast on occasion I have watched then use ball but aim closer to the hull of the ship rather than use chain. I assumed that was what he meant but your explanation makes more sense.

0 Farrago Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks for the answers. At my level, I can only crew a small AI. I'm usually looking for the AI to either slow down the opponent so I can catch him or so that I can get away. I'd hope they would do this by chaining sails. I don't want to sacrifice my little AI buddy if I don't have to. Those AI are brave tho. They'll go in and slug it out with anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
