Rattlesnake

[Charlie1957]

Hello gents,

Does anyone understand as to why when we reach the "Rattlesnake" section we drop about $20000 to $30000 thousand, I take it this is not a bug then. why is there the need to drop funds.

Do you mean that your maintenance costs have increased? Or that your funding received decreased? You can check these by hovering your mouse over your money amount in the top right.

Hello Pandakraut, 

I had a look, it states         Funding 9688

                                              Fleet -12528

                                              Trophies -410

                                              Crew - 9339

                                              Reserve -537

                                              Captives 0

                                              TOTAL -13126          The final figure at the top (beside the coins) is -21320. Are these maintenance costs, which is part of the game then. Cheers

Yes, those are maintenance costs. Collecting all the ships has a nice ring to it but it's not a viable choice because of those maintenance costs.

[pandakraut]

Yep, those negatives are the maintenance costs for your ships and men. Bigger ships/trophies and more experienced men will cost more.

Thanks guys, I wasn't watching what was happening with the financial aspects of the game, too intent on the battles. I shall look at the financial management a bit more closer in future and yes it was nice to collect a very large but expensive fleet, back to the drawing board then, cheers
