## New - **Treasure galleons have entered Tug of War.** Five minutes into the match, a neutral galleon begins patrolling between the strongholds with four light swivel guns that fire on both teams. Sink it for three rum crates, three 100-gold chests and one glowing chest. Another
New - Tug of War — a brand new game mode. Two crews, two island strongholds, one goal: tear down the enemy fortress before they tear down yours. Pick Tug of War in the lobby and the match loads the symmetric Twin Forts arena, with every ship starting berthed at its own team's for
New Deathmatch capital-ship boss event — roughly every 10 minutes, a fully-upgraded fourth-rate warship arrives at the center of the map with a warning banner ("A capital ship has arrived! Beware of its broadsides!"). It out-ranges any player-built ship and patrols the middle of
## New - **A new toon art style for the whole fleet** — every ship hull, sail, and patch of water, plus islands, ports, gun batteries, loot crates, wreckage, and combat effects (explosions, splinters, splashes, cannon smoke), have all been redrawn in a bold, hand-inked cel-shaded
- **Deathmatch wind is dynamic** — matches now open with a fixed six-lane wind layout across the map, then the wind reshuffles into a fresh, tougher pattern about five minutes in. - **Ships no longer shed debris chunks piece-by-piece while taking damage mid-fight** — wreckage sti
## New - **Four new playable captains** — Terror (ships that linger nearby spill cargo overboard — and the plunder puts a price on the Terror's own head), Tactician (a single-press brake-and-pivot maneuver — the ship brakes hard to a stop while turn rate doubles for a few seconds
## New - **Four new playable captains** — Terror (ships that linger nearby spill cargo overboard — and the plunder puts a price on the Terror's own head), Tactician (a 180° helm pivot backed by a kedge anchor), Corsair (blockades a port), and Buccaneer (can take the King's Pardon

-Game breaking bug fixed along with a few other quick fixes and adds # Pirate Party Pals — v0.9.1 Patch Notes ## New - **Fourth Rate's mizzen sail redesigned as a lateen** — the big warship's rearmost mast now carries a triangular lateen sail instead of a square course, for a sha
Temporary patch reversion until bug fixed
## New - **Fourth Rate warship** — a hulking 50-gun two-decker joins the fleet, purchasable for 1000 gold in both Trade and Deathmatch modes. It hits harder than anything else on the water, with a full broadside on each deck. - **Frigate visual refresh** — the frigate has been re
## New - **Captains v1** — pick a captain alongside your ensign in the lobby. Each captain grants one passive perk that lasts the whole match and follows you across ship purchases and replacements: - **Iron Liver** — grog's downsides are halved and there's no hangover. - **Mercha
## New - **Dynamic winds in Caribbean Standard** — every voyage now rolls its own wind field: shifting trade winds, strait gusts through the Windward Passage and Jamaica Channel, becalmed island lees, and roaming open-water breezes. The map's signature wind zones are always there
## New - **Player nameplates.** Other captains' ships now fly their player name over the masthead once you sail close enough — no more guessing which rival is which in a brawl. (NPC ships stay anonymous.) - **World map wind arrows and legend.** The full-screen map now draws wind-
Changes & Balance - Shipyard: schooners are free, and losing a ship isn't as painful. In Timed/Gold Race matches, the schooner no longer costs gold, and repurchasing any ship type you've already bought this match costs half price ("Salvage destroyed ship"). Closed an exploit
## New - **Grog Mode** — Got rum aboard? Press G (D-pad Left on pad) to start drinking. While the grog flows your crew fires 2.5× faster — but wilder — and your ship keeps sipping another rum every few seconds. When you stop (or the barrel runs dry), a 4-second hangover hits: hal
