Thanks for the help.

Yes, it seems that when I attack a small town with a reasonable force (about 250 crew members seems to do it), I am given that option. However, with the large towns, it never seems to happen. I guess you must need a HUGE force for that.

The main problem I'm having is with the crew getting upset. I gather a large force, and by the time I've sailed to the town I want to attack, they've mutinied. And even if they havn't, they'll be upset, and loads of them will desert (and steal a large part of the plunder) when I set off for the next mission. I've been trying to counter this by attacking and plundering all ships I run into as I sail fromone place to another, in the hope that fresh plunder will appease them.

Anyone have any good tips for calming the crew?
