  • Round shot — Hull damage · Line up a broadside

Quick notes

  • Match naval ammunition to the target. Round shot damages a hull, chain shot attacks sails and grapeshot handles lighter threats.
  • Control sails before a broadside. Full sail closes distance quickly, but reduced speed gives more time to align the side of the Aquila.
  • Buy upgrades through the naval interface. Hull and weapon upgrades improve different parts of naval survival.
  • Use land equipment selectively. Connor’s bow, rope darts, firearms and tomahawk fill different roles.
Useful tip

Connor’s bow, rope darts, firearms and tomahawk fill different roles.
