Since you are at war with France, you are going to attack some French ships. But
not any french ships, only those that are battling pirate ships, because any
other time when you encounter french ships they attack you. But this time they
will be your allies, against the pirates, so find a battle where you are totally
out numbered by the pirates and quickly defeat them. Now after the battle the
french ships will not attack you, they will sail on their way. Get in close to
those french ships and fire your kibles at their sails, do it to each ship, but
do not fire anything else or the ships will instantly attack you. Now with their
sails destroyed they cannot manuver very well, when you begin your attack, you
can pick them off or flee if you must. Next select the ship you want to take
over, get in real close and fire the grape shot at point blank rage. You will
kill off some of the crew, and will instantly board their ship for a take over.
Now when you have your new ship the other french ships "if there are anymore"
will attack you. But since you took out the sails, the battle will be easy, so
sink them or run away to repair. You can do this with other nations, but once you
do this you will be at war with them, which just adds to your problems early in
the game.
