Overview
A guide to assist in obtaining all of the achievements of Pirates of Black Cove
Intro
Looking around on the community page i noticed that there are some half done guides so i figured i make some time to make a complete one. Credits to 2 other guides i noticed which turned out be handy for a few of the achievements.
These can be found here:

Obviously any questions/improvements are welcome and i will try to incorporate them as good as i can/when i can.
In the mean time enjoy the game, its a pretty simple, but enjoyable pirates game.

Achievements with little effort
So these achievements are easily obtained with little effort. there is a few more after these which are a bit of hassle as it takes a good bit of time to complete.
Lol
Just drive your boat over a joke and it will pop. Throughout completing the game i got about 100 or so in total.
Bayonets?
fit out your army slots with melee unites and it will pop while completing land based levels
Those who live by the sword, die by those who won’t
Like the Bayonets achievement, just swap out the melee with ranged units and, well, go to town!
I can see my house from here!
I started the game with the human catapult and just hit that space bar and voila
There is no I in TEAM!
Description says it all, capture a boat. You might need to launch & land a volunteer more then once to be successfull
Perfect catch
Capture successfully without losing health. I got this on the first shot. If possible stay behind a boat so it cant shoot at you.
Gatherer
loads of plants and octopus eyes drifting on that ocean…..drive that boat over them.
Brewer
Brew 10 potions at the Mad Alchemist – really not a biggie especially with the duckweed for the Grog. Freeze booze for everyone.
What do we do with the Drunken sailor
Drink that grog that you heal more hp then you actually need.
You sank my Battleship
Use your regular cannons to sink 100 ships
I love big black balls
That’s what she said? use the mortar special weapon to sink a 100 ships. Found the larger ships easier to sink with this.
Just Cruisin’
Just stick to the world level for 30 mins. Mine popped after 30 mins though so timer seems to be a bit off.
The Suicider
Let your health drop of your boat to under 20% and sail around untill it popped. Timer on this one seemed to be more accurate.
Dakka Dakka Dakka
Get enough cash from sinking ships and missions and buy a new special weapon at the harbour. Different harbour offer different special weapons to purchase. Note that you need blue prints to unlock them.
Pimp My Ride
Similar to the previous one – buy a nice new color scheme at a harbour
Cap’n Mor’Guns
Buy all the special weapons at the 3 harbours.
Upgrades!
Buy every single upgrades like the previous one that you buy at the harbour.
Pig-Pen Stunned
I got this when visiting the ghost island whilst doing Crosair missions. Basiclally i took one stink bomber and on the ghost island it auto popped when i got attacked halfway on the island.
Yakonusuke
Need 2 heroes in your group to do this. Once you have them, purchase 1 unit type in each of 3 harbours and it will pop.
Full pack
Once you have all 3 heroes in your group, fill up the last unit slots and voila.
Bob the Builder
Need some cash to build all the buildings in the 3 harbours.
Time sink achievements
These achievements need some time to complete for sure….
99 bottles of grog on the wall…!
Drink yourselves to death with Grog…
Capitalist
Destroy 20 banks in the various towns.
Severed into Shreds
Black cove pirate ship should basically sink you in one go.Still elusive for me, probably need to capture a low health ship and then attach one of them…
Ship tycoon
Own 20 ships – you will capture a bunch once you have all the purchasable ones….
Quick Employer
just have enough cash and hire, fire, hire, etc….
Stand up Comedian
Horrible time sink, get all the floating jokes…this is where you need to go around the world level hours to complete this. Still working on it…
