Hello navy3000 , my name is elarma and I am a boataholic . Kidding , but my in game tag is elarma , add me if you like and we can play some 24 hour games . There are a few others who do this also . We are doing a 2v2 24 hour timer at the moment . Great fun . So...for now...did you put armor on Everything ? If not , maybe start by putting armor on everything then remove for speed , if you even need that , after you get used to how the boats move . If you run with no armor , your fleet doesn't last too long . A really good place to start if you have the time is to watch replay's from the boatest replay thread . If you do start at the most recent one's to get a feel for how MP goes . GL .
