Island troops in any port

The army

Every dwelling of tier 2–7 on your island opens that tier for hire in every port.

  1. Dwellings of your island are marked «your island» in the hire window — in every port, on rafts and at floating waystations. Their men are your island's pool.

  2. Away from the island they cost a quarter more (marines: 75 instead of 60). Deckhands always come from the tavern. On the island itself the price is the plain one, but the ship must lie off it.

  3. Hammocks full of deckhands? Hire a higher tier anyway: the line «Deckhands go ashore: N» shows how many make room.

  4. Some kinds need more: gunners from ship level ⚓2, boarders from ⚓4, guards from ⚓6. The drowned serve only captains of the Choir and cursed ships.
