Avast there, ye landlubber! So ye've heard whispers of sailing more than one ship with a single hand, eh? They call it 'multiboxing' in these modern times. I call it havin' a proper fleet under yer command. Let me tell ye what it's about, straight from the quarterdeck.
What Be This "Multiboxing"?
'Tis the art of playin' two or three separate accounts at the very same time, all from the same vessel... I mean, computer. Each account holds three souls, but normally only one can walk the plank at a time. This trick lets 'em all sail together.
The Captain's Law
Mark this well, lest ye swing from the yardarm! As I pen these words, the powers that be—Papaya—say it be legal to command a fleet of up to three characters yerself. Any more'n that is seen as excessive and may bring the wrath of the admiralty upon ye. 'Tis a common practice among the shrewdest trade lords on the high seas.
Do Ye Need a Fleet?
Need? Nay! The game is a grand adventure for a solo soul. But for a trader lookin' to fill his hold to burstin', or an adventurer wantin' extra eyes on the horizon, it be a powerful trick to have in yer locker.
Why Hoist the Extra Sails? (The Plunder)
- Ye can carry a mountain o' cargo in one voyage.
- Yer lesser deckhands can learn skills just by followin' in yer wake.
- More hands mean more skills ready at a moment's notice.
- They can help spot sunken treasure and grant ye bonus loot when raisin' it.
- All the usual benefits of sailin' in a fleet, but ye're the admiral of all.
The Storm Clouds (The Risks)
- It takes time to train up those extra swabbies.
- Ye'll be squintin' through smaller windows instead of a grand, full-screen view.
- In a battle, a scattered fleet makes for easy pickin's for pirates and privateers alike.
How's It Done?
The full guide holds the secret to conjurin' multiple game windows from one computer and gettin' 'em all to sail in formation with a few clever clicks. It be simpler than navigatin' a reef at midnight, I promise ye that.
So, me hearty, that be the lay of the land. A fine tactic for the ambitious captain, but not for every soul who treads the deck.
If the thought of commandin' yer own private armada sets yer blood to singin', and ye want the full chart, every trick, and the Captain's own method for settin' it all up without goin' mad, then make way to the complete log below!
