No, it doesn't. But to make the game world more pirate-friendly when you join them, as soon as you do, Tortuga becomes REALLY a pirate town instead of a French one tolerant of pirates.Joining the pirates has something to do with the POTC Movie theme?
So it could be joined with that.
On second thought.... maybe I should remove that altogether.
Now that I rewrote some stuff, Tortuga being French should not adversely affect pirate players anyway.
That makes it just an atmosphere thing. French flag and "La Tortue" or pirate flag and "Tortuga" plus appropriate soldiers?
There are a whole bunch of Jack Sparrow film characters available for Free Play as well and it would be nice if they would get the film name.If not maybe it's enough to change in JackSparrow?
They should all start in Colonial Powers by default, so that could cover them all in one go together with the Jack Sparrow storyline (and also Nathaniel Hawk).
