Uncharted Waters New Horizons

It was for a long time, but it seems my fleet consist from 10 galleon. My character and the navigators were advanced enough, and speed of movement at all ships 13. I have attacked on Catalina only for the sake of interest, after a victory my ships were not a condition to move and the fleet simply has stopped in the middle of water. The large work has made to reach the nearest port. I have sold all ships and has bought one light galley, but the situation has not changed after that. My ship was not a condition to be floating and for one month overcame some steps...

Yes, about it. I where have preservation of game, therefore I shall try to issue a videoroller.

Unfortunately at present has failed to make a video, as the program of a video of capture does not support 16 bits of the emulator genis. I shall search for other methods, and something I shall think up.

I think you must have run into one of two tasks that are not possible to complete. If you already have more than a certain number of ports when a ruler wants you to ally with an additional number of ports. I know one of the tasks the ruler will give is to ally with an additional 14 ports, which would be impossible if you are already allied with 82 ports. It sounds like he gave you a task to ally with 14 ports when you already had 88 ports. Is that what happened?

That is the only time that I can think of when the ruler will mention the number of ports like that. Yes, he will tell you how many are allied when you check the sphere of influence, but like you said there are only 100 ports and the maximum you can be allied with is 95.

The other way to be given an impossible task is when playing a character in an adventure game (Joao, Ernst, or Pietro). Sometimes the ruler will ask for discoveries, and if you have already turned in all 50 discoveries it is not possible to complete his task. There are only 50 in each game.

No, Ali's game doesn't require ranks. The main purpose of ranks is for the additional discount in allied ports.

You will loose half of your fame (if I remember correctly) when you tell the ruler that you can't fulfill the task. It seems to me that there should be some in-game check to avoid those two situations, but there isn't.

Yes, if you want the rank of duke you can get that in another type of fame.

Normally you should save before entering the port when you are going to talk to the ruler. That way if he asks you to do something you don't want to, or that can't possibly be done, you can reload and try again. If he doesn't change the task, then raise your fame in another area, and then try and see if he changes the task then.
