Adventure Mission Level 5

Arr pirates!! If ye be a true pirate then ye be very curious indeed and that be why I share here the dangers and the booty of the Adventure Mission Level 5 in Pirates Tides of Fortune!

Now fer those rascals who don't know, there be 2 types of adventure missions always - one is fer defense and one is fer offense. The one for defense ye got to send yer defensive units and visa versa for the offense.

The good thing here that I share with ye is ye can see how much army there is so when ye be doing the same missions ye can be prepared and know what to expect.

Adventure Level 5 - Defense Mission 

Ye see the first one I did was the defense mission 'cause I be wanting those Submarines and Gunboats. I like defense and I have tons of it for me Haven.

1224 Bonnies laid their life for this mission and it be well worth it. We shall drink a barrel of Rum in their name for their courage! But as a consequence me Rum consumption went down a lot also which I planned for.

Adventure Level 5 - Offense Mission 

And here we got the info fer the offense mission. So actually you don't have to choose one or the other, but can rip the benefits of both (well ye pay fer it). Here 596 brave Marauders fought hard as dogs that they be and brought to me Haven 11 Brethren Juggernaughts and 20 Brethren Frigates.

I be also collecting the exact information on offense and defense Prizes and Adventure Missions so if ye be wanting to contribute send me an email with the data, but ye gotta send quality stuff properly calculated or better not bother.

New Skins Half Prices and PVP Rewards

Arr pirates!! There be new wind in our sails in Pirates Tides of Fortune, so let's share few words with one another regarding these.

First up we have New Haven Skins called Chateau d'If and Rumrunner's Rock, both giving +1000 Defense and costing 5000 Rubies. Me favorite be the Chateau d'If - me think it be really nice. Did ye buy any of these? What do ye think 'bout the design? Put down in the comments.

Next, we have the new Lonely Captain Quest which be basically a smashing challenge to raid and murder other captains and their Havens. The more destruction ye be causing the more booty ye be getting as reward, with the top place getting 15,000 Rubies and 5 Pearls and, more important than all of that, a 5% reduction in the consumption of Rum, which be meaning same thing as a 5% increase in the army.

So it be good to scout a lot looking fer some easy targets, but to be honest my efforts be not successful 'cause I wanted to lose as little army as possible and find easy to kill enemy troops.

They be also combining the booty we raid in into a total gained amount, which be looking really nice, but, of course, it be a little bit misleading 'cause Rum only be having half the value compared to other resources.

Here ye see one of the targets me found with easy 38 Bonnies to be killed gave me 100 ranking points and 37 experience.

And last, but definitely not the least, we be getting half prices now in the Smuggler's Den, which means all the people who like to buy ships and units there should be super happy. Our new unit, the fast and high capacity ship, Dagger, for example, be costing now only 128 Rubies, which be a totally different story.

So what ye think about all these changes? Ye like or ye be hating them? How do ye think all these be a good step forward for Pirates Tides of Fortune or not? Put yer opinion down in the comments.

Free Boost Removed Permanently

Arr pirates!! Ye know we all be lovin' the last 5 minute free boost to speed things up, but alas, there be bad news, the powers that be have removed that ability completely so if ye be boosting anything at all ye be spending Rubies for certain!

Generally speaking, sure, this be an unpleasant development, but fer the serious pirates out there who be waiting for days for 1 building to get upgraded or thousands of pirates be in the queue fer the training and service of yer Haven, 5 minutes really does not pose much of a difference.

Even the daily raids can sometimes take many hours in scouting, sending the raid, waiting fer the troops to return. Even sending resources to yer friends or simply swapping scrolls for discoveries - all those things take hours and hours, so yes, it be not awesome, but me-self and me Rum drinking pirates - we be not having any major issues with the 5 minute boost removal.

Level 54 - The higher you are the harder it gets!

Arr pirates!! Me grow into level 54 in the past hour! A great celebration be taking place in me Haven - be sure we will not be finding a lot of our Rum tomorrow morning - Arr!! :)

The higher ye get the tougher is the road and some of ye know I run without a BH, so it is a challenge indeed, but me pirates be successful so far and as long as we got a heap of Rum to clench our thirst we be fighting with swords, guns and cannons blazing forward - Arr!!

Dedicated Ship for Grabbing Booty - Dagger

Arr pirates!! Let's talk about the new ship they be building at the Smuggler's Den - the Dagger! There be no pirate who wouldn't stand with his one eye wide open looking at the Dagger ship. It be boasting a massive raiding capacity of 750 so 67 Daggers can be hauling 50,000 booty. In addition to that, it be so fast that it can make 1 trip in the same time as our fastest ships would take 4 trips to accomplish. That be thanks to its fast sails giving it a whooping 90 mph speed.

However, on the downside, it be pretty naked and not capable of fighting nothing but a tiny defense force, so it be just a dedicated ship for grabbing booty from havens where ye know there be no defense whatsoever.

Then, of course, being a Smuggler's Den creation, it be not freely attainable. Ye be needing a good amount of Rubies for this fast Dagger. As a matter of fact, if we do a quick little calculation we can say that if ye send a full force of 50,000 resource stealing, fast as the wind, Daggers and ye happen to run into an ambush or lose them for whatever other reason then ye be looking at a loss of Rubies in the region of 15,000, which be a massive blow.

So there ye go, ye be seeing both strong benefits and risks and ye gotta make yer own pirate mind about it. So what ye think? Will ye be making an order of these to the Smuggler's Den?

Pirates Tides of Fortune Art - 2 Ships Fighting

Arr pirates!! Me really respect people of the arts. It seems for some people drinking a pint of Rum is only good for dancing, singing and fighting, but fer some others it ignites something special deep inside and they be coming up with amazing pieces of art, so me be taking me hat off to those who can invade others not with a sword in the hand but a brush:

Gyrodyne Scout Flying Dutchmen Killer

Arr pirates!! I bring sad news to those who care for their anti-scouting defenses made of the beloved Flying Dutchmen. I myself be very proud of them and keep a whole bunch of them defending me Haven, but lo and behold - the steam filled Gyrodyne Scout be a specialized killer of Flying Dutchmen.

Ye can see on the picture I put below that even though this high level pirate failed to scout me Haven and lost pretty much all of his Gyrodyne Scouts, he actually killed 17 of my Flying Dutchmen out of a big bunch which were defending. So a small force of Gyrodyne Scouts be strong enough to make kills even if they be confronted by a much larger force of Flying Dutchmen.

So beware ye lovers of defense, there be indeed a countermeasure designed to lessen the ranks of yer true defenders of the sky!
