Well atm the only use i have for the brigs are escort ships for the Galleons(w/c i gladly stole from Spain) in the trade theater, as compensation for the Galleons lack of Maneuverability.

Anyway i have another question., I'm currently only 4 years into the game(been taking my sweet time) and i've noticed that lately its been harder to gain traits for my Admirals., Tried the method of redoing battles and it does work but takes more effort hehe, the basic traits like Mentioned in Dispatches for Generals and Cool Under Fire for Admirals are easy to get but the higher tiers are quite hard to obtain! its like i'm playing EB all over again haha

Thanks in Advance!
