    Pirates vs Port Royale 2

    Port Royale 2 is more of a trader game (though you can try to be a pirate if you like), and Pirates is more of a go out and kick some cans on other ships if you like, or you can try to do some trading. PR2: Better trading system Pir: Better pirating system Both have ups and downs...

    Crew Morale?

    Yes it obviously is all about the money, on your game each man will get roughly `1500-2000g` when you divide and plunder, whereas on my game with 300 crew they will each only get 40g because I only have 12k gold. I am generally prudent about whom Im attacking, I usually go after everybody but...

    Crew Morale?

    Hmmm, the biggest one ship haul that I managed to get was 20k, that was from a named pirate I think. But shortly after that the crew was getting angered and I had to dock and D&P which left very little since it was a total crew of about 300+/- I'll have to see how long I go out for, maybe Im...

    Divide and Plunder questions

    Hmmmm, but that is a dilema, because just as Im about to go to port so that I can D&P, my crew is almost mutinous, so I can't sail around selling the goods that we have in the ships holds because then the crew would be mutinus, and the traders dont have enough gold to buy what we have in our...

    Divide and Plunder questions

    Im wondering about the divide and plunder. If I have 8 ships and they are loaded to the rafters, and I divide and plunder, I will lose 7 ships. But are those 7 ships sold off and the gold is added to my treasure total, and what about the goods that those ships are carrying? Is that also...

    Crew Morale?

    Im not sure but I have problems keeping crew morale up as well. i usually sail with 300 men on my ship of the line (I think thats how many men it holds at max), but many times I have to sail with less, andwhile visiting ports to find enough men to keep my ship fully staffed, the morale starts...

    I hate getting rid of my ships

    Go find one. I did, just out of pure luck Im sure, but one game into my sights and I shot no cannonballs, only used grape shot so as to maximize crew damage and minimize ship damage. Still even when her crew was minimized to 13 and mine was still at 280, and I boarded, they didnt give up...

    Best game ever?

    I think just becausethe tradewinds blow from east to west doesnt mean they have to do that in the game and sacrifice game fun. Lets face it, if you have a top knotch ship and you shoot out 24 cannonballs at a tiny little ship, I dont think there would be much left to takeover. The point being...

    Captain Python's P! 2 Thread (Former: I'm not buying this!)

    Actuall it is mentioned on the box, it says something like based on the original Pirates by Sid Meiers, but all in all, theres a whole world out there that has never heard of Pirates or even played it. I never played it, nor do I have the desire to play it now. This game is really simplistic...

    Can the Characters speak English? How?

    I think theres one simmish thats pretty close to english. I think its the french gov that when you leave him says, "when in france", at least thats exactly what it sounds like to me.

    Sword Fights Broken?

    No, I see the full fight, the red bar may go back and forth during the fight, and the character and opponent may go foward or backward until one of them falls off the ship. You may want to turn down the details on the game and see if that helps, I've heard some people say it's like a slideshow...

    errr... How do you purchase new ships?

    Ahhhhh, I think I understand now, if you keep a smaller crew then the amount of gold that you need to bring in is decreased towards keeping the crew happy. So it's kind of like real time in that it's not a matter of when you divide and plunder, but rather the game figures things when you are...

    Okay please explain sword play

    I just got the game today, I've got community build 12, and just starting out I am trying to learn sword play with the character trying to teach it to me in the beginning of the game. But I just dont get it! I draw my sword and I hit the spacebar, but after were done he always suggests that I...
