[. . . ] Flourishes cause the monitor to grow at an accelerated pace: The more flourishes you perform in a row, the faster it grows. The heart monitor shrinks with each misstep. Your success depends on the size of the heart monitor at the end of the dance. If the heart monitor is small, you didn't impress the governor's daughter very much, and she'll let you know it. If the heart monitor is huge, you danced like a true gentleman and the governor's daughter will look upon you with great approval. You're well on your way to winning the young lady's heart!

Each promotion marks an increase in the nation's esteem and favor. Each promotion also earns you a benefit from that nation. In order to get promoted, you first need a Letter of Marque from that nation. In addition to the in-game benefits of rank, promotions also feed into your overall Fame score, which helps determine your final score when you retire. How to Gain Promotions City governors issue promotions. You earn promotions by doing services for a nation ­ attacking enemy shipping and cities, escorting ships carrying emissaries, soldiers or immigrants, capturing pirates or fugitives wanted for crimes against the state, and so forth. Book Three Sid Meier's Pirates!® If you are on friendly (or at worst, neutral) terms with a nation, the governor will issue you a Letter of Marque as a matter of form, although you can bypass this simple step with enough good deeds. If the nation dislikes you because of your actions against their interests, then you may need to pay the governor a hefty bribe.
