    Among other adaptations! I get tired of watching them sail into a particular Spanish port, burning it. Then the Spanish send a small stack to chase them off and the Barbary ships pop out. In the same turn the Spanish troops march back where they came from and in their turn the Barbary ships sail back in. Repeat ad nauseum.

    In my current game the French sailed two ships into Greenwich and shut down the trade of Great Britain. Those two ships stayed there for at least ten years before the Brits sent a small stack to kick them out, at which point two British ships sailed up and destroyed them. Finally my (Russian) trade with Great Britain was restored after wasting a slot for 20+ turns.
    I have a mind like a steel sieve.

    just a tip, if something like this happens put a navy of yours so the tips of the radius of your ships and the enemys are just barely touching, then move a single ship like a sloop or brig in between, they'll attack that single ship and your others will come in as reinforcements, then destroy the enemy and your allies port reopend.
