Its not about making the game harder, I want to simulate and learn RN more than just clicking a button on the navigators tab.

Sorry, I didn't mean 'harder difficulty' but 'Do-it-Yourself' (which for me is the same btw). Just don't use the crew, I think this is possible. Use the stars, sextant, 4-bearing method etc. There are a lot of special plotting and attacking tools in the UI, learn to use them, there are some good videos around. There are even some special maps included with instructions, hit E and load the special maps (note that you can scroll the list to make everything visible and selectable!)


There are also tons of useful docs inside the TWoS folders, look in the folder 'Other Readme Files and Docs'.
