Crew size for attacking Bigger Fish etc.

  1. As I am new to these forums, I don't know if this has been addressed before. My apologies if it has!
    I have recently found a strategy that seems to work very well when attacking on a voyage. Here is what I do: I decide what I am going to attack on my voyage. Then I go to the tavern and recruit the units that likely will work best. I recruit the most important ones first and then the others. I return to the map and lay out the voyage as planned. Naturally, the "suicidal!" warning appears. I then patiently wait as the recruits join the crew. Before long, the "suicidal" label changes to "dangerous" and then as the crew increases, the label disappears. I usually allow 2 or 3 more crew to join and then set sail. Almost always, my journey is successful!
    Most recent trip was to lower left and the 3* bigger fish. Crew recruited was:
    Chih Shih
    1 WD
    7 Gunners

    Success in defeating fish with 1 Gunner left and both EP and BP obtained.
    FWIW, try it out.

    I just load up on cheap, quick hiring brutes and gunners.
