A flotilla is where a Brigand King gathers his or her fleet at a league point on an ocean. Affected league points are visible on the world chart by an icon, a different one for each King. The league point node itself changes color to red, and has an icon on it representing which King owns the flotilla.
Flotillas act as a force, and may be attacked by passing vessels in an attempt to drive the King away to a different part of the ocean. Since Kings will declare blockades against islands nearby to their current base location, attacking the flotilla is a way to help prevent the nearest island from being attacked by them.
Attacking a flotilla
Flotilla attacks may be entered via the "Attack Flotilla" button on the vessel panel. Upon attacking a flotilla, a vessel will enter a sea battle board with a safe zone at one end, where other vessels enter and exit the board from. Flotilla battles are always sinking, and therefore sunken treasure may appear in the place of a sunken vessel. Multiple ships are able enter the board and attack the flotilla. All player vessels are assumed to be on the same team for the purposes of 'friendly fire', that is, cannon shots do less damage to other player ships.
The King has vessels containing supplies which are marked green on the board. Attacking and sinking these vessels will drive the king away, however the King also has various other vessels roaming around protecting his supply ones.
Maneuvers can also be used in flotilla battles.
