  I’m currently needing to replenish gunpowder. I’ve been to the stores at Jamaica, Martinique, Barbados, and Antigua; when I’d arrive, powder was 0, then I’d sleep and it would reset to between 20-70. Has anyone had a similar problem, or know of a workaround?

  Hi Papa,
  
  well this is because the NPC heroes also buy at stores AFAIU. The more heroes, the more empty stores. This problem is not persistent though, you need patience.
  
  A solution is to take prizes…
  
  I think Mr. Jeffrey is aware of this issue.

    Nice. That’s exactly what I did, too. Had to rely on the squadron to finish working on some Dutch frigates, and got what I needed. There we go! 🙂

  Oldtimer is correct, it is the other captains buying up the stores. Oldtimer is also correct that this is a known issue, but has been determined a “feature” and will remain as-is. The solution is to either find other colony stores that are not as populated (which is random), or take prizes; the “take prizes” solution is one of the reasons it will remain this way as it motivates players to become more like a pirates as it is derived from Age of Pirates on the US title after all…
