    ... but I find Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro, don't you?

    out of interest does anyone know the origin of the pistol grip in fencing? Is it a fairly new thing, maybe associated with the olympic sport? or was it actualy used in combat, when people still duelled for honour? I can imagine it would make you strikes much more accurate, and maybe quicken...

    Henry Morgan's lair

    Aye one of me old country men - he was one of the lucky few that didn't die a typical pirate death(KIA or hung!). Still it would be interesting to know his complete family background - i read something once that said he came from minor nobility in wales, one of the reasons he could curry favours...

    ... but I find Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro, don't you?

    Not sure if this is on topic - but I have learned to use a sword. Moslty self taught but i've adapted some martial arts techniques to the sword type. Its a 'bastard' sword(hand and a half) and while not a fencing weapon, nor one that a pirate would use being too long, it was interesting learning...

    No Gore!? Why not the favored "Minor Menu"?

    Well the overall graphical style might have something to do with it - its quite cartoon like, and i think its the light side of being a pirate that they want to capture in the new Pirates! You could always check out Seadogs2(Corairs II) for a more gritty pirate game? I'll be getting both i...

    Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas

    I played it a few times many years ago - i just couldn't quite decide if it was better than the classic Pirates! by Microprose though. It had more of mostly everything, better tactical battles at sea and on land, more detail with most things too. BUT it somehow didnt have that same...

    Pirates coming to xbox

    Good news - i think it would make a good console release. I'll be getting it for my xbox and also Corsairs II(SeaDogsII) for my new PC. That should give me plenty of Pirate fun. Pirates! - for the casual fun aspect SeaDogsII - for the more serious pirate playing. Pirate perfection <img...

    Free Pirates!

    PIRATES II(a fan remake) It was over a year ago when i managed to last play this game, anyone else play it? It seemed pretty decent to me. I just checked the site and it still seems to be working ok, unfortunately the PC i'm on right now doesn't want to run it without some memmory management...

    What Famous Pirate Do You Think You Resemble?

    In this life i'd be a pretty poor pirate - but if i'd been around a few hundred years ago i would have tried to be a combination of Henry Morgan and one of the first colonist trying to fight for freedom from the crown(which was pretty oppresive if you were a regular jo). So i would have used...
