Claiming an island

The island

Any island without a port can be yours: the first one is free and immediate.

  1. Sail up to the shore of a wild island. When the ship is close enough, the action bar shows «Claim» with the island's name: tap it.

  3. Next to it — other free islands nearby with «Sail» and the distance. A bigger island has more plots and outposts.

  4. The Town Hall stands from the first day. Many captains may hold a base on the same island; port islands and pirate fortresses cannot be claimed.

  5. Moving to another island: the first move is free, then 1 000 000 silver or 2 600 doubloons. The old buildings are pulled down; the treasury, the goods, the residents and your ships go with you.
