How to Pass the Final Exam Made (Easy Way):
-------------------------------------------
If you’re taking the Final Exam you are more than likely a new guy like
 me trying to level-up, and if you have taken it already you know just 
hard and almost impossible it is to pass. The two enemy A.I. ships are 
relentless, they make few if any mistakes and will pound you to pieces 
in minutes.

I have found a simple solution that will work for everyone. After all, 
it worked for me and I passed the exam!

Before explaining how to do it, let me pass on my observations about 
the strengths and weaknesses of the A.I. Enemy ships you’ll be going up 
against.

* The Enemy AI’s only weakness is that they are unable to repair their 
  ships, and as you damage them, they get progressively worse. I used 
  that against them.

* They are relentless and will never stop pursuing you.

* Although they are really good shots, they only use ball ammo and are 
  always aiming for your hull to sink you. Unless they get a lucky shot
  or you do something stupid, they do very little damage to your sails 
  and masts.

* Although their tactics are simple, they make few tactical mistakes.

Here is how I defeated them and passed the test. First, the game gives 
you an hour and a half of real time to pass the test which is plenty of 
time to make this work. You get no extra credit for doing it fast or 
heroically. Therefore, I went with the long cowards way to pass.


In short what I did was run like hell with the wind using full sails and 
slowly beat the crap out of them!

Let’s assume for this description that your ship is facing North at the 
start of the game. As soon as the time started, I went to full sails, 
load all guns with ball ammo except for my stern gun, which I loaded with 
chain. In my case the Enemy turned West and presented me with a broadside. 
I then turned North-East, fired back and ran. In my case the wind was 
blowing from the South to the North. The direction you turn makes no 
difference as long as you are running with the wind or abeam. Be careful 
NEVER to turn too far into the wind and end up in Chains. 
You will be killed!

The Enemy immediately turned East to purse. Now I had them both on my 
stern. As I ran, I peppered the closest one with chain from my stern 
chasers. I turned off my bow guns using F5 as I was not going to be 
needing them anymore, thus allocating more crew to repairs.

As I ran, I would continuously swing left and right to present the enemy 
with my broadsides, being careful never to get too close or allowing them 
to get alongside. If they fell too far behind, I would drop to Battle 
sails, fire a broadside, go back to full sails and run again. As I did 
this, they too would swing around and fire on me, and as a result I was 
started taking hull damage. But here is where I exploited their main 
weakness, I could repair my damage, they could not!

When my damage became noticeable or critical, I would turn off all my 
guns (F5) except my stern chasers and commit the whole crew to repairs 
while running away at my best speed. While running I kept peppering them 
with chain and grape from my stern. I did this every night.

For the most part I would concentrate my fire on the enemy ship that was 
the most damaged. Eventually I managed to cause enough damage to one of 
the enemy ships that it took on water and sank, then I just concentrated 
on the remaining ship using the same tactics until it too sank. Total 
time used was 1 real hour, with 30 minutes to spare.

If any time during the exam you lose a mast or receive serious damage 
that cannot be fixed, just Surrender and start over. There is no way you 
can win otherwise against the two enemy ships once you are damaged.

This may not be the most glamorous or courageous method to pass the 
Final Exam, but no one will know anyway. You passed, that is all that 
matters. Go get them!

    for step 4.
04. Buy an tobacco plantation in ragged cay and upgrade it as much as you can.
05. The max lvl for the plantation is lvl 3 and its the best lvl then it 
    produces 60 Tabacco per Day.
06. You need around 200k to collect it if you have lv 2 or lvl 1 you need 100k 
    or 50k.
07. If you have the money collect it do it in your ship hold and read the 
    next step.

Tips for NPC Boarding:
----------------------
* Never board a ship when you’re outnumbered. Reduce the enemy crew before 
  boarding by firing grape shot after armor has been taken down. Go for stern 
  rakes.
* Open with Brace command. NPC will likely start with Fire Deck Guns.
* If NPC fired deck guns, follow with Attack. NPC will likely Brace after Fire 
  Deck Guns. Attacking into Brace is devastating.
* If NPC did not open with Fire Deck Guns, it will likely be his second order. 
  Best option is for you to Fire Deck Guns into his Fire Deck Guns. You will   
  trade casualties.
* Expect NPC to Fire Deck Guns every fourth turn. Use your Brace when you 
  anticipate his Fire Deck Guns. Follow his Fire Deck Guns with Attack to win
  at boarding.
