The new world is there for the taking; you just have to grab it. Luckily, you’re a pirate captain and that’s kind of, like, your thing.
It won’t be easy though, as other pirate captains are just as sticky-fingered. Uniseas challenges you to thwart these rapscallions and plunder the entire world with the power of trade & good old-fashioned naval battles.
You’ll be starting as a small fish, so you’ll need to lay claim to some islands quickly. Once you’ve got your flag planted firmly in the soil, it’s time to tackle the economical side of taking over the new world. You’ll want to establish some trading with other islands to boost your wealth, and you’ll need to spend your resources on smaller trade ships to make that happen.
You may feel tempted to build bigger ships from the get-go to take down your competition, but you’ll have to be pretty savvy to pull that off. You may also choose to check out the buildings you can create to bolster your island’s defenses and unlock new structures. You want to take good care of your territory, after all.
Building your wealth slowly to amass a giant naval army while your foes remain uncaring of your presence may be just the proper level of pirating needed. Once you tick off a pirate captain, though, they will be out for your blood and they won’t be shy about it. You’ll have to monitor your relationship with these three opposing captains, as a quick shift into bad blood could spell an end to your plundering days. You can check it on the side of the screen to see who wants to murder you and who thinks you’re still just a pussy willow. Little do they know, by the end of your expedition, you’ll claim every last island in the new world.
