    The Difficulties of Piracy/Piracy Tactics

    no ships yet - just small yachts and the like upto about 36 feet long, in various locations from the English Channel to papua new guinea in the Pacific. The more traditional and less high tech the better - i like wood underfoot. One day i hope to have a go at crewing on one of those old tall...

    Any hardcore sailors out there?

    I've worked out a technique for getting as much 'real time' sailing in as possible - it took me about a week(in real life) to work out exactly what was going on with PotC and that it loaded in the island info. Still i now spend most of my time in 'real time' sailing. Its a complicated process...

    making yourself a superpower

    In Pirates i used to enjoy trying to turn the whole caribbean to one flag(usualy english or dutch) - the main barrier to this was getting old and being forced into retirement, not the fact that taking forts was too hard. Still having the option to do it was a great idea, and Seadogs2/Corsairs2...

    making yourself a superpower

    I think it will be fun to add that 'Empire conquest' angle to SeaDogs2/Corsairs2. Borrowing from 'Pirates'(Microprose) isnt a bad idea, and i'd like to see some more like treasure maps and the finding lost family etc. I think that with 'empire conquests' it needs to be pretty difficult. In...

    Finding Facts on Ship Types, DO NOT TRUST GAMES!

    Yes - it was a work of fiction, in that it might just be something i'd do as a pirate to throw of any pirate hunters. If it was ever done in the caribbean of the 'pirate' time period, i've never heard about it. @William, not sure about the wheel on the ship in shogun - it was a while ago when...

    Traditionnal and era music!

    some of the ealry stuff by 'Clannad' is very folky - and the Old Irish/Gaelic they sing in is very haunting. I also like some songs by the 'Furries' - an irish folk band that did some great traditional type songs in the early days.

    Captain Blood, Swashbucklers, & Seadogs 2

    Its a shame that some 'weird' stuff happened between Akella+Bethseda(?), as Bethseda are one of the few decent publishers in the mainstream that think big epic games are the right thing to do(still after playing PotC for over a month now - they should have given it a little more time in...

    Finding Facts on Ship Types, DO NOT TRUST GAMES!

    I've been a fan of pirate computer games since i first played sids origonal 'Pirates'. And yes i agree totaly - i had a shock in PotC when i was looking to use that old 'Pirates' strategy of using fast manouvrable sloops. In PotC sloops are horrible boats(if you go on their stats). Still it...
