Age of Sail Hints & Cheats

Use a text editor to edit the "00000x.cpg" file in the "aos" directory, where "x" represents the specific campaign number. Look at the "main.oob" file to a list of ships by line number. Select a ship from that list, then place that number in the first column of the 00000x.cpg file. The second to last series of numbers in the column is crew rating, from 0 (best) to 4 (worst).

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding.
