I didn't feel like making 5 topics, and didn't see any tips whatsoever for any of the war games. So discuss them all here. I don't really have any tips aside from Attack of the Revenge and Dubloon Disaster:

Attack of the Revenge
Always keep a cannonball in hand when possible. This way you can quickly reload a cannon or whack a pirate for double points. Towards the end of the game however, remember to not always run back for cannonballs if you're getting swarmed.

Dubloon Disaster
Keep the mines to a minimum. If you can get them to collide, they'll destroy each other. There's also a cheat you can put in to make a whirlpool appear, you can use that to destroy a lot of mines at once.

My Dubloon Disaster strategy:

This is a dangerous strategy, but it works for me. Most guides and whatnot say to keep as few mines on the screen as possible. Most suggest you stop after every two and get them to crash into eachother, so you never have any on the screen at all. Well, I think that takes too long and is silly.
So instead, I get the maximum of nine on the screen, so no more can pop up. My strategy is to herd the mines all together into a cluster. So it's sort of like having one big mine instead of a bunch of small ones everywhere.
It's a bit dangerous though. If two are sort of far apart, I go between them to make them move closer to one another. I also circle around the cluster of mines alot, and quickly, to keep them from spreading out. If the cluster is at one corner, and you're in the corner opposite, they'll start spreading out, because even though they're all moving toward you, the closer ones are moving faster.
For the most part I keep the mine cluster at the middle of the screen, so then I don't have to worry about it much for the dubloons that pop up around the edges of the screen.
However, if a dubloon pops up in the middle, or anywhere too close for comfort to the mines, you'll have to lure them away. Go in some corner away from the dubloon, and keep moving back and forth until they all move toward you and out of the way.
Example, if the dubloon is closest to the top right corner, (even if it's not actually in that corner, but at least in that corner of the screen. I would move up and down the left side of the screen, and back and forth across the bottom, quickly, not just stay in the bottom left corner. This way the mines move both toward the left and toward the bottom. Also, inbetween moving across the bottom, and up and down the left side, I'd circle the mine cluster a few times to keep them from spreading out.
I play the game pretty dangerously, and I tend to totally space out while I'm playing it. In the act of luring and herding the mines, I often get insanely close to the mines, but I seem to have developed a skill for pulling myself out of those sticky situations.
Also, don't forget about the whirlpool. Whirlpools can randomly pop up anytime during the game. They can be good as they suck up the mines, but they'll also suck you up. If one pops up move away from it as fast as you can, go as far away from it as you can, and don't let go of the arrow keys until it's gone. There's a trick in the game that can be used once per play to make a whirlpool appear, simply type "scallywags" on your keyboard. I rarely use this, mostly because I'm afraid the whirlpool would pop up right underneath me. But if you do use it, save it for when you really need it.
One reason why Dubloon Disaster is one of my favourite games is because you don't have to play for an insane amount of time to get 1000 neopoints from it. You only need about 170 game points to get 1000 neopoints out of the game. And if you're lucky, you can get some of the higher end dubloons which really speed things along.

EDIT: Meep, I wrote more than I meant to... oh well, hope it helps someone.

Oh, by the way, my strategy got me the av ;P
Getting the av is like playing the game five times in a row, but all at once, with no breaks. I thought my finger was gonna fall off. Rawr.

Nice guide ^. Exactly what i do. Did u mention the cheat of Dubloon Disaster where you can create a Whirlpool by typing scallywags. It helps to clear those mines. hehe

MY Guide to Dubloon Disaster:

Ok First of all there are actually 2 types

1st Type: -The Super Long & Time Consuming Method-

Start off with your nice boat and go around collecting AS MANY dubloons as you want without dying of course. Just collect until you either feel unsafe or feel like it is time to stop hoarding. By now, you should have the maximum amount of mines on the screen. Yes Maximum. Now, Use the cheat. create the whirlpool and kill off the mines and try to stay alive. yeah. Next, do the stupid method by picking 2 mines and crashing them together. Do this for as much as you want.

2nd Type: -Dangerous yet Quick-

Speed Off and collect your dubloons and using the cheat anytime you need. Safety is NOT assured.

------> Attack Of The Revenge

I personally like this game maybe due to the quick fingers i got. Hehe. So here is wad i do all the time:

1st Stage: It is fairly easy here. Just move ur Character in front and slash all the enemies. Easy peasy.

2nd Stage: Here comes the Canonns & Pail Of Water. Using those things to finish off anyone helps as it doubles your score. so it is a x2 speed and x2 results. You finish the game relatively faster.

3rd Stage: Cannons are here. I myself try to hang on to a Cannon most of the time. Just move your character all the way to the right side and pick one up..etc Using these cannons to kill off opponents of course give u a x2 bonus. When the Cannons fire, you get 12 points which is A LOT. So try to keep them filled and ready to fire. Yeah.

4th Stage: Same stuff here and there but faster pace. Around this time most people will usually have 1 cannon catch fire or wadeva. Advice: DON'T CARE. Yes. Letting 1 cannon die is ok. Not sure if it deducts a life... But try to kill off the opponents first. That is piority.

5th Stage: Too fast. AHHH... I usually get until here. By the time you reached here you should have a score of at least 1000. So the point if assured. From here onwards just do what you can.

For AotR, I kinda developed my own strategy, and I need some help from the experts.

For the levels with cannons, I load all of them before any enemies show up. When Jacques fired one of them, I reload them. All pirates are killed during the journey between cannon and cannonballs. Usually I get a cannonball before the cannon to the right at the end of the level, so I can load that first in the next level.

Unfortunately the most I could do was level 6, and 500+

Edit: Arrrrrgggghhhh! My stupid laptop made me lose my third try! I should've get at least 1 point! And my stupid laptop decided to freeze for 5 secs at that moment, to let Benny the Blade and Nathan attack my boat!!!! *kicks stupid laptop*

After the 500 point level in AotR, your focus should be on enemies, not cannons. Even if all of your cannons burn, you'll only lose three lives. But those baddies tend to hop the rail pretty quickly, and while you can splash water on a burning cannon, there is NOTHING you can do once a bad guy crosses the rail.

Load the cannons, focus on the bad guys when they start appearing, and reload the cannons as you have to.

Dubloon Disaster is easier for me if you just get the maximum number of mines on the screen and then go around them so they all get stuck in the middle.

When there's a dubloon right in the middle type scallywags and create a whirlpool to clear the mines. Though this sometimes backfires on me.

It's a lot quicker than drawing imaginary triangles on the screen, but it won't ever get you near a trophy.

Also for Dubloon Disaster getting a score of 167+ (technically 166.6666666 etc) will earn you 1000NP and the 2 war points.


Also I like this game because you can "pause" it by destroying all the mines with each other and then having a break.

I don't know if it's just me but if a natural whirlpool occurs you can't use the scallywags cheat after. Also if you use the cheat before a natural whirlpool happens then the natural one will do nothing.

Again I don't know if it's just me but I find that the lil' guy rows faster going backwards than forwards

For Attack of the Revenge, after I finish the "Get to 750 Points" level, and start the "1000 Point" one, I let all the cannons burn out. You may lose 3 lives, but you don't have to move out to go left or right. It will be just like the first level, but will take longer.
