Cannons of the Deep (CotD): Upgrades and Treasures

[CaptainGreenGene]

I hesitate to do this but let me explain how best to make gold and get better ships so everyone can get in on this...

First off, you never sink so when you first start out don't repair your ship.
Choose the hunt locally choice and several things may happen.

1) You may find an abandoned ship and get some gold from it.
2) You may stop some merchants and shake them down for some gold.
3) You may encounter another ship, shark, hydra or sea monster.

The first two things require no extra steps just take the gold and choose continue on.

For the 3rd just flee and take some damage, who cares you can't sink.
Continue this boring searching over and over again until you have a good amount of gold.

To know whats available you will need to choose the "sail to PDF" option, wait the allotted time (either explore on the way or just sit and wait it matters not) then when you arrive at PDF(better ships and stuff there) go to the "my ship" choice and buy better ships, cannons and figureheads. Use the guide in the first post here to estimate cost vs benefit.

Once you have a better ship and a better cannon you can attack some ships if you choose or better yet choose parley and most times they back down and pay you off to go away. If you have to fight there is another post here someplace that explains the best angles and powerlvls for each vessel. As you begin to sink better and better ships you earn new cannons, better ships and figureheads and the treasures and music you are asking about. Be sure to log in before you begin playing or you cant transfer anything. The link here doesn't take you to the log in page you have to navigate the site map to get there but I'm sure you can figure that out with a little searching around or try this link. GL

I tried COTD on my PC today. All I get is a singel line of entries that tells me my current gold, Ship stauts, Ship and Missions.

When I go on a mission, it offers me the choice of sailing to another island, or Hunt and battle locally.

The only ship I have is a light sloop. Every ship I meet is MUCH higher level than that, and no matter what I do, Attack, Parlay, Let the crew handle it, or Flee, I take maor damage and it ends up costing more gold to repair the ship than I ever earn. I started with 100 gold, and am now at 14. (59 gold to repair a light sloop??? Ingame it doesn't cost 1/3 that much, even if the light sloop has been fully sunk!)

I see others talking about attacking Kings Head, getting music or other items as drops, Treasures, ETC., but I see nothing in the game for any of these. Am I not getting the full game and all the options??

Does anyone have a screenshot of what the game interface should look like?
