some Dutch admiral figured it was easier to attack the seperate pieces of the silver fleet (they gathered at 2 different places and came together at havana, mid american treasures, with south american treasures), the game accurately reflects this more or less. However, somehow, the 2nd part of the fleet not arriving anywhere near schedule made the spanish wary and attacking the 2nd part failed (yes they used sloops)
from the 80 years war i love the most that te dutch mainly financed it by selling weapons to the spanjards (spain, the enemy). And, as in Colonize, many people realize, The Dutch never had many colonies around their, but they sure loved their piracy.... Buccanearancy? Privateering. They werent pirates ofc. Accident happen you know
