Damn you and your timing. When I see an opportunity and go to seize it, the other team goes and takes one of my towns.
One time brown and green must've been ignoring me because I had the bottom three towns full health and upgraded and was working on getting two of the side towns. While getting one, I'd lose the other. Then all of a sudden all three green would attack one of my towns, all three brown would go after another, then I'd run around trying to fend off the vultures while Pegleg would drive around in circles watching the sun shimmer off the water.
It's worse than that. More like 6vs2 since the game apparently thinks either Pegleg or I can do the work of two ships. Hell... it's almost like 6vs1+1, since Pegleg is a nitwit. Things would be a lot easier if I could somewhat influence his actions, even if I could just tell him to "Upgrade".
I'd be up for a CAG night.[/quote]
Another "timing" trick is going for the towns in the last minute of a match. Say you both have 2 towns all you have to do is take their town down and you win. So go for the win in the last 30 seconds to a minute. This is especially crucial on the final medium challenge and the final hard challenge.
Hope that helps.
Pegleg is the worst AI partner in any game. Ever.
On a side note, I looked at my trophy list and I now have 2 Age Of Booty entries. One with platinum and one without. So I still cant sync with server, 4 months later. Kind of starting to piss me off
