Changes: Ship

Revision as of 13:04, 12 June 2014

Pirate Ships in Tropico 2 are the main source of income for your island. Using ships is a central part of the gameplay and is required for several important activities. Pirate ships are sent out on cruises, the traditional activity of pirates, boarding other ships and taking treasure, cannons and captives. The ships are also used for raiding settlements, which bring unskilled captives back to your island. They are also used to capture skilled captives, and explore uncharted regions.

Because of these varied requirements, it is a good strategy to have a collection of different ships, as some are better used for certain tasks.

List of ships

Snow - Tiny crew size so can be sent out repeatedly. Best for raiding settlements and capturing skilled captives.
Shooner -
Sloop -
Brigatine - Good second ship to depart with a Frigate in a cruise. Fast so can catch fleeing enemy vessels.
Frigate - Best for cruising. Strong and reasonably fast.
Galleon - Too slow to be much use. High cost, high crew size so takes ages to set sail.

Any campaign requiring you to accumulate a gold stash of 7,500 coins or less can generally be achieved using only one Frigate for cruising, providing you regularly change the region that it cruises in.
