PP vs Stapel; Message from Stapel
The begin of my turn 145, I attack PP's 3 caravels with my 4/4 caravel. As expected, it sinks, but takes 2 hitpoints of one of PP's caravels (2/4 now).
My privateer comes near: 11.4 KB It strikes and looses 1 hp, and sinks a 4/4 caravel. My 4/4 galleon comes near: 24.52 KB I strikes, though I do not really expect it to win this battle. Since it is a golden opportunity to sink the possible cavalries in it, I have no choice, do I. But: It wins! It does redline itself, but promotes to elite after it: 23.94 KB Now it is time for the 3/3 galleon to attack the remaining 2/4 caravel. (It's only now that I realise the northern galleon is out of reach....). Guess what! I am lucky! 20.8 KB Now, I am the first to admit that loosing only one caravel and sinking three was really lucky. But in a somewhat different roll of the civ-dice, I might have lost 2 ships and sank 2, or lost 3 and sank 1. That would still have been worth it. Could mr. Wink please confirm there were 9 cavs aboard????

I think that works the same as with for example captured workers, you can see from whom you captured it, in this case from pp.

Oohhh, of course! This was formerly ProPain's caravel. Should've read better.

This one had cavs on board, no need to hide that as in normal gameplay you would have seen them board from sardica.
