Ship Combat is the art of ship to ship battles.
Vessels would have to position themself in tactically sound positions in order to fire their cannons for maximum effect while avoiding incoming volleys.
Successfully disabling a ship with cannon fire would allow pirates to board their enemies and assault them face to face, usually with an Insult Sword Fight.
Trivia[]
- Ship Combat was originally to feature in The Secret of Monkey Island but was cut. Ron Gilbert felt that this was a good idea. However it it later appeared in The Curse of Monkey Island.
- According to the Strategy Guide, during production the minigame had a readout displaying the numbers of cannons, loading time and damage inflicted. However it seemed "too un-adventure-game-like" so it was removed.
