Logically, at the start, it will be necessary to carry a small dhow as a boat. It is only by crisscrossing the waters and accumulating experience that one can claim larger boats. Beyond the state of our ship, we will also have to pay attention to the morale of the troops to avoid any mutiny. In case of destruction of our boat, there will be a way to recover part of the cargo, but we will have to act quickly, because if other players are lying around, they will not hesitate to seize it.
Skull and Bones will also have a reputation system centered around Infamy. Increasing the latter will be a great way to get ahead and earn the respect of other pirates. In the video, we are also told that there will be different types of ships, each of which will have a specific purpose. For example, freighters will be slow but valuable for transporting goods. Navigating vessels will certainly go faster, but will have less storage capacity. As for combat craft, they will be more difficult to maneuver.
Precisely, speaking of clashes, Skull and Bones will allow you to properly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of potential opponents to inflict maximum damage on them, and above all, to suffer the least possible damage. Of course, it will also be necessary to deal with the climatic conditions, the game also abounding in several places to relax and indulge in additional activities. If it will be possible to play solo, there will be a way to invite other pirates during the game.
On the content side, we are promised that updates will be offered regularly with new content, activities, stories and challenges, free for all players. A Premium edition is also planned.
