Any island without a port can be yours: the first one is free and immediate.
1Sail 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.
2The claim card opens: its waters, its danger and the price. The first island costs nothing — press «Claim free» and confirm.
3Next to it — other free islands nearby with «Sail» and the distance. A bigger island has more plots and outposts.
4The 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.
5Moving 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.
