Well, first of all sorry for my bad englich, I hope everyone can understand what I write <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I think the remake is very good, it makes Fun like the original, with many useful imnprovements.

If there will follow a expansion to this game, what do you think should it be include?

My proposals:

- to attack a city by sea: I find this very good in the forerunner games, I`ve mostly attack cities at this way...

- a "speed" button, like it is in Pirates ÄGold

- more possibilities to marriage <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> - like the tradements daugther (see Pirates! Gold) or the women in the tavern..

Other ideas <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> ?

Wilkommen Stephan.

I agree with you. I would like the option to marry the merchants daughter... and perhaps that cute little beerfrau in the tavern <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

"attack a city by sea" - do you mean when you had to fire your cannons at the fort and try not to be hit by enemy fire as you sailed towards the fort? Yes, I always found that fun too. It made you think twice before attacking a town with many forts. Funny, all the towns that lacked ports were always English after I came along <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I agree with you guys! I hope that Sid Meiers team is going to make a Patch which allows you to choos different options. Marry the barmaid or the merchant's daughter. So you can choose a "common" life or a life as a rich man <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I dunno if they'll "patch" that one. It would involve more work with developers. They are more likely to patch "bugs" than they are to add more new content.
 
I understand, but hey Toast! I guess it would be better having more options in game. Here are some of my ideas:

-creating an own pirate (long hair, short hair, ugly face, beard etc)
-then the stuff with the ladies (common lady or rich spoiled one hehe)
-more spechai items would be good
-then new clothes you can get in the game. A hat, a coat, a bird, or maybe a wooden leg. Well to make you look like a real pirate.... not like a creepy Hollywood superhero.
-attacking towns from the sea. It should be possible to destroy the forts.

-I miss the historic expeditions
-more notorious Pirates would be better
-making the dance easier.... (I am the worst dancer
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dp_nogd.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ng" border="0" alt="dp_nogd.gif" /> )
 
Aye ,would be nice te play as Blackbeard ur Henry Morgan type character,pick'n up de wenches in de taverns be more me style doing a pirate jig te win em rather than de ballroom, full dress uniform stuff <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> need te fix dem tavern wenches teeth though <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
And maybe playing cards in the tavern would be a good feature. Being able to see your home would be a great feature. My great house in the game. And I miss the fencing practice area and the captain's cabin!
 
Nice ideas <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

@Cap´n Toast: Yes, thats what I mean. Attacking a Town from the sea was very funny in the original Pirates, i`ve use it very often,just ask the population of Trinidad (very often the first Town I´ve captured <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> ) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> . Don´t know why it isn´t included in the new Pirates

other ideas:

- a REAL Treasure Fleet. If you´ve captured in the old Pirates you havent got any problem insufficent golg
- The Silver Train - please bring it back <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Yeah, I miss the historic expeditions as well. I'd love to see the captain's cabin with all your loot hanging on the wall - like pistols and barometers etc. And I think it would be nice to have your retirement better illustrated, like showing your estate and a family painting or something.
 
Game is fine as it is guys

Apart from a few things this games is a good remake of the orginal. I think Sid by keeping it like the original didn't spoil the game, if people want more depth buy cuthroats terror of the high seas (more in depth but not as much fun as pirates). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />


Cheers <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Maybe one or two secondary skills. For example Fencing as the main skill then we should be able to choose more options like

-starting with standard tools, then getting better tools later in the game.
-creating net type of blades, breast plate etc. Better weapons for the cap'n and for the crew.
-blacksmithing for crafting own swords and daggers. Better than the stuff you can buy in game
-gunmakgin skill for crafting better pistols
-tailoring for making aristocratic, common or pirate clothes. (Coats hats etc)
-treasures should have not only gold. Maybe unique pistols, swords, daggers
-there should be a way to make a career as a pirate. Creating an own pirate nation (like in Sea Dogs) Getting ranks as a pirate.
-customise your own pirate. Make him look like you want. (Too bad i can't mod)
-more stuff to trade at the merchant's shop. Stuff like cotton, crimson etc (to put them together with the secondary skills)

I know that this is a hell of a work but hey! More possibilities, more fun.
-A pirate also fights with 2 blades.
-more attacking skills and animations like a spinning attack or maybe a double attack with 2 blades..... cross parrying...

damn I have so many ideas <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Make Sid Meier read this

I wonder how difficult it would be to implement that - maybe it would only mean a mod to that page that shows your Status where you see all your items...

I think the game needs `Robo-Cyber` Dolphins that can jump out of the water and through `power-up` hoops to upgrade your cannons.

If that suggestion seems a bit silly, then what about having the ability to recruit Ninja attack Penguins as an alternative?
 
Actually, I had an idea last night while playing that I would love to see implemented.

In one of my games, I managed to get me a sloop of war pretty quickly and from there had a fast galleon and four trade galleons in no time. Got rid of the sloop and went with the fast galleon as my flagship and commenced to trading. I've made loads of money while trading and thought how cool it would be if you could actually invest in towns, kind of like what they did in Uncharted Waters 2. Not only could it eventually upgrade the town (i.e. - from poor to prosperous, etc.), but would be another way to earn fame. You could work it out something like 5 grand donations would earn you fame at first, but the higher your fame the more money it would take to gain a point. Granted, money cheaters could rape this, but then again, they rape the game anyways.

I feel a feature like this would be cool for those of us who like to go the trader route now and then. Maybe even have a specialization for trading that gets you better buying and selling prices in ports. Plus, it'd be another way to build up your favorite port.

Quite impressive lad. I hop our Modders will do something. I also hope that the modders are able to realise my ideas <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I would be happy a happy REAL PIRATE <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Might be nice to buy the tavern or choose the land to produce goods, like tobacco, suger, spice etc. Then pick it up when you revisit the port.

On that note is the a screen that tells you your land ownage and where it is?

Oh yay need tobacco back.
 
Exactly. Like I said, more types of goods will be good. Tabacco, Silk and that stuff. And maybe more shops. A weapon shop. I wish a system which allows me to move my pirate through the town. Sneaking is okay but normal moving will be good as well. Just to see how the town looks like. Opening doors by yourself, break into a house and steal all the gold. Taking credit from the bank. I would combine features from different pirate games. This would make Pirates! perfect. Don't you agree mates?

Modders!! Get to work <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
 
Well, the moving around town part is something I can live without. But I would definitely love to be able to invest in towns and possibly own taverns. Heck, being able to start your own settlements would be pretty cool and I don't see as it would be too hard to implement. You could visit it from time to time and rake in the profits, or just invest more into it and eventually watch it become an actual town. How cool would that be?
 
Okay! It's settled <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Gather the modders and let them realise our idea <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
As well as the inclusion of `Robo-Cyber` Dolphins and Ninja attack Penguins, wouldn't it be great if a nice selection of different Cheese was available at a port?

Imagine the excitement of docking at Port Royale and being able to purchase a nice ripe Stilton or a wedge of mature Cheddar?

Need I say anymore? I rest my case.
