    Pirates Collector's Edition , what are the differences?

    That is strange. The American LE has everything on one DVD.

    Bug ?

    How about this one. I sacked a town and installed a French governor. After leaving the town I noticed a Spanish ship nearby that was transporting a new governor. I didn't bother to check what town it was heading to and simply plundered it. Next time I went to a French city they were pleased...

    WHOOT

    Your girlfriend bought it for you. Good for you! Now she can't complain when you spend too much time playing it. Well, she probably will anyway, but it might buy you some extra time. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif"...

    Life as a Smuggler/Trader?

    For some of the time periods smuggling/trading is the suggested way to play. I think it is entirely possible, but probably more challenging to keep your men happy.

    Pirates Collector's Edition , what are the differences?

    As far as I know, normally there is no in game differences. The LE edition contains a folder of extra files you can copy into the "custom" folder of your game. There are a half dozen or so more flags and a half dozen more sail logos. The flags are cool as they are some famous pirates real...

    Fastest ship for traveling INTO the wind on the main map?

    If you look at the manual you will see two ship catagories that have a RIW (running into wind) best point of sailing capability. The three Brigs and I'm not positive about the other group as I'm not at home right now. It's another big ship class that isn't fast overall but can sail into the...

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

    Anyway, back to the topic. If you really want to practice I would recommend saving before you go into a town where you know you will be asked to dance. That way you can reload over and over until you have had enough practive. Until you get good, don't worry about the beat, just hit the right...

    Pirates Collector's Edition , what are the differences?

    It includes a windows compatible verson of the original Pirates, a 9 minute "making of" movie, some concept art, sketches, etc... Plus some custom flags, sails, music, and pirate town character models. The extra flags were nice but the hippy `tie-dye` sails and pirate models aren't my taste...

    Spanish Treasure Fleet

    I have run into a bunch of Spanish Treasure ships at once. There was like four of them in a row that I plundered one at a time. I think that is what the treasure fleet is. Just a bunch of treasure ships sailing together on the same route, but they are not all grouped together like a ship and...

    Spanish Treasure Fleet

    When they tell you that a ship is heading to one place from another it means you have a chance to intercept it at sea. Pay attention when they display the route on the map and it will also show you an icon that marks the current location of the ship on the route. You just have to rush to that...

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

    Here's a good review to add to the mix. I played Pirates! over the weekend and it's awesome. For those that liked the original, you'll like this version too. It's a great update with some tweaks and added features. Makes the package even more complete than before. Who would have thought...

    Sloop, Brigantine, or Frigate?

    Kind of hard to answer. Typically I like the small ships as I like to dodge enemy salvos and pick them apart. But the large frgate is great for quickly destroying ships and going on city sacking binges. My favorite ship is the Royal Sloop.

    Anybody figured out dancing?

    I like the dancing, it's a nice break from the looting. At first I had trouble but now have an almost perfect success rate on the first three difficulty levels when dancing. I've even come to memorise some of the patterns. If you get a perfect on the dance, meaning no mistakes, you sometimes...

    Rate each minigame !

    I've played the first three difficulty levels. Dancing 8 It's actually quite fun and a nice break from the action. Just watch her hands and you should have no problems. I've even memorized some of the patterns and can now concentrate on hitting the beat. If you get a perfect dance...
