    is there a limit to how many ships you can have?

    When playing on anything but the two top levels levels, I like to have 7 Trade Galleons or Treasure Galleons and 1 Royal Sloop, (or any combination thereof) . That is when I am in a sacking, attacking mood.

    Map FOUND!

    Well, now that I know how to read that darn compass, maybe even easier than before. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    Actually, a couple of peopel DID mention Risk :P One said he `dis-likes` it (original poster) The other said he likes it, but has yet to play the computer version. Shoot, for that matter, we could even include the original Battle Chess or one of the many `follow-ups`. <img...

    Map FOUND!

    A note to anyone that may have sent me a save game in the last week.. or so.. AOL was putting everything into the SPAM bin.. I had inadvertantly set it for highest SPAM setting, i.e. if you was not listed on my friends list your mail did not get through. So, I have not ignored anyone on...

    What is the best ship???

    Royal Sloop, she dances around the enemy, can hold 20 cannon and 187 men. Not too small, not too large, for pirating. As Wolfie typed, when using the Sloops, any type, its all about avoidance and shot placement. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"...

    Dancing for Promotions!?! :?:

    What about the Spanish just promoting you because of past deeds. I haev noticed the game will remember what you do and if you attack some nations enemy they will reward you eventually, whenever you visit them. I was English and the English and Dutch were allied, with both being at war with...

    mixed shot broadsides

    Fred, you don't pay enough attention while reading around here :P This is posted every so often... but I guess still not widely known.. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    A game looking like those funny Pirates battles?

    Well, the turn based game I am playing now.. and have been off and on since 1992 is Pacific War. It’s a classic turn based grand strategy game. Which means it has more substance than graphical `gee-whiz`? But, its a completely free download these days and updated to run on windows at; <a...

    Treasure Maps!!! ARGHHHHH!!!

    Well, I am sleeping well at night, by repeating to myself how many map locations I found just by `on-land` dead reckoning.. Pfft, who needs a stinking compass anyway... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"...

    A game looking like those funny Pirates battles?

    Well, I could name several, but I am afraid they might be, uh.. too much war oriented. I am not sure if its the turn based gaming you like or the little animations moving around the field. If you could clarify that particular detail I may be able to offer some on track suggestions.. <img...

    Has anyone ever actually been to Gran Granada?

    I can attest to first hand knowledge on how bad an idea it is to kill off all the Spanish.. the french, and the Dutch, (save for Curacao, where my darn wife is). After a certain time, it can get real boring having no one to pillage and harass. <img...
