Goal of the game

On the night of 31 October 1470, a mysterious fleet appeared in the cold waters off the north-western edge of the kingdoms. Attacking on sight all the boats that cross its path, this gloomy armada, which is said to be always surrounded by thick fog, sails straight towards the land. The few sailors who have successfully boarded one of its menacing ships have all given the same astonishing account: there was no crew on board. As the rumours spread, it's up to you to face the ghost ships!

Ships are placed randomly on the naval battle grids, and their type depends on the level of the battle:

• • - Barge: 2 squares
  • - Genovese Ship: 3 squares
  • - Battle Cog: 4 squares
  • - Battle Carrack: 5 squares
  • - Napadelis: 5 squares (pirate's flagship)
    
    

Individual squares of the enemy's grid can be:

• non-revealed:
  • : the ocean is foggy
• revealed:
  • : the ocean is clear
  • : the part of the ship is spotted
  • : the part of the ship or loot is hit
  • : the shot is missed
