    Dividing the plunder question

    The problem with capturing Territory is that I'm normally running around in my 125 crew Royal Sloop and I'm not getting the ability to attack! Tried firing on them, or attacking from land, but somehow I think attacking 125 vs 350 or more isn't going to be a good outcome!

    There is such an easy way to defeat EVERY dancing move EVER

    I tried jacking my settings up high as they would go and it only slowed down the fighting, not the dancing. I wish I had 2 seconds to enter the move. Hell, half the time I feel like I have to guess cuz it's going so fast. And just as a point of reference. I can type over 65+ wpm and I did...

    Flashy exterior on an otherwise dull game?

    I had a discussion on why I believe the game is not as exciting to me as it once was. Back in 89? when I was playing Pirates on my trusty C64, the game was fresh, new and great. When I heard this game was coming out I thought, Great! It was supposed to be based on the original, so I thought...

    Best ship?

    I concur with the Royal Sloop as my choice. The speed and the ability to turn quickly make it a great ship for closing in quickly.

    Anybody figured out dancing?

    what exactly does "east of xxx" mean ?

    Try using your Spyglass to see further off. Just compare your map to the map of the area, and land where it looks closest to where you need to be.

    Anyone feel like they have done everything?

    True, but.. hurm... I'm just a bit tired of my AMD Athlon XP 2100+ and want to get something in the 3 gig range. Too bad, I can't sail up to the nearest spanish computer store and fire a volley at them, and then attack!

    Dividing the plunder question

    I do try to keep lean, but after a few months of ravaging them damn Spaniards, I am full up with Booty and Ships! And by the time I trickle back against the winds to friendlier towns to sell off this and that, me crew is getting cranky. Though I have been trying to sell off things more often...

    <!--`QuoteBegin-Kuplo`+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Kuplo)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I dont know about the original since I never played it, but I too feel like I have to get the enemy while I can, the opponent attacks me constantly so I really dont see the point in the...

    Swirling halo during a swordfight?

    The swirling circles are when your dizzy. At least from what I've determined, except a few times I've been given then after a successful attack. Especially when you push him down the stairs and slide down the rail to meet him, You end up with the circles.

    Anybody figured out dancing?

    The part driving me more nuts than before is, at Rogue level, when the are swinging their arms before they give you the hand gesture. I have a hard time figuring out if it's a Pirouette or a Glisse. Wearing a ring, ostrich feather, dancing slippers, and I think I have a diamond necklace, I...

    Dividing the plunder question

    Speaking of Dividing the Plunder. As I'm roaming the seas in my Royal Sloop, The Ornery Wench. I usually am trailed by a fleet of Treasure Galleons, that are filled up. How do you guys end up getting rid of the trade goods? It seems, that no matter what I do, the ports I try to sell my...
