A New Patch, New Problems

[Didz]

Pirate ships now attack merchantmen on tradespots! Darn!!!

Yep! thats the first thing that happened to me post-patch, only in my case it wasn't the pirates but the Dutch trade fleet from the neighbouring trade port that attacked my trade fleet on its trade port. Took me a bit by surprise, I'd got used to trade ports being immune. What was worse was that the Dutch Trade Fleet consisted of one Fluyt, a sixth rate and a brig, whilst mine was just indiamen. Its certainly going to make the trade theatres a lot more lively now.

The only other thing I've noticed so far is that musketry seems to have got even less effective. but I'm not sure if thats the patch or the fact that I'm playing French.
