Hi fellow M&M fans,Q: Pirate Hunt Priority - Will an NPC Pirate move away from a sea-zone with non-pirate player (P1) towards another non-pirate player (P2) when:
P1 has gold on board, but no cargo cards (however in same sea-zone as the NPC Pirate)
P2 has gold on board, and cargo on board, and in an adjacent sea-zone.
It's got me stumped because I find it hard to imagine the pirate moving away from a target that's already there ready to be attacked.
Also, hunt priority on player card has "(MOVE TOWARDS)", so in this scenario there is no moving towards, as they just stay there to attack the current target.
Other way to see it is, the hunt priorities stack up to increase attraction for the NPC, where in this case P2 has 1) Gold & 2) Cargo, meaning it's a more attractive target, so the pirate will move away from the sea-zone already containing a non-pirate to go after more loot.
PS: can't believe I still have questions after playing so many times
