    Biggest Land War Victory???

    The last time I saw cannons on a battlefield was in the first beta version we had. I have not seen them in the final version at all. They DID make a cool sound when fired though, I'd like to hear that again <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"...

    Divide and Plunder questions

    Just make sure you sell your ships and cargo before you divide the plunder. Think of the ships and cargo as all part of the total assets for the expedition. When the expedition is over and the profits are tallied up, they all figure into that. The flagship is yours... but the rest of it...

    Rate each minigame !

    Yeah, I really like the land battles. It's a perfect mix of strategy without being hard or too complicated. I'm quite impressed with it and I'm pretty snobbish about wargames. It's no Combat Mission or Gettysburg, but it is more than chess.

    Life as a Smuggler/Trader?

    I spent an entire year running sugar between St Kitts and the surrounding islands. I made a good bit of easy money, spent little time "sailing into the wind" and finally had to quit when I had saturated the market to the point where the prices dropped and my profits decreased. This game not...

    Baron Raymondo meet Baron Raymondo....

    Actually, it never really bothered me at all. And we made TONS of suggestions during beta. And had they developed them all, we'd still be waiting for the game this time next year. Compared to some of the bugs we licked and game design issues that were changed, this one's pretty minor. IMHO

    Spanish Treasure Fleet

    No, don't think the Silver Train is in the game.

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

    Sloops are probably the best for running towards the wind. Though it's always better to try to keep it close hauled rather than into the eye. No ship is worth a crap into the eye.

    Sid Meier's Pirates! Plunder Contest.

    Dearest Cat, please delete this thread so that fewer people know about the contest, thus preventing more entries, thus increasing my odds to win. Thank you for your cooperation. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif"...

    tavern fights

    I think the "military" folks (Guard Captains, Warship captains etc..." are supposed to be more skilled than your average merchant ship captain. Pirate captains should be harder too. That's why the escort ship captains are tougher to fight than the merchants, IMHO.

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

    Johnny Depp - "Oh yeah, by the way, you are fat and you waste your time in the gym eating pizza and drinking water and watching tv. But, you should chill, coolguy." Burnt Walking Toast - "Hmmm... you win again right?" I never claimed to be a body builder. I only stated that I am a pretty...

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

    I read it again, and not once did you use the word "sorry". Johnny Depp - "Hello sir, I think you are a geek and have no life, your avatar is silly and you should get lost! But, let's just drop it and move on." Burnt Walking Toast - "Excuse me? What did I do to deserve that?" Johnny Depp...

    What is the best age to retire? and more questions.

    I don't think you can get another wife, but you might need to woo another couple ladies to get that romance score up to 10. Typically, the younger you are and the better your health is, the better it is for your retirement. When given the choice to retire at 30 years old in fair health, or at...

    Where do guys hunt ??

    I prowl the Spanish Main... Cumana, Cartagena etc. I usually start a cruise in St Kitts or that area, then head south towards Trinidad and all down the Spanish Main, stopping in Curacao to sell off loot at good price. Then I head diagonally north east back towards St Kitts. It's easier to...

    Flashy exterior on an otherwise dull game?

    I'd like a patch that took away the ship's info and nationality until you got close enough for them to attack you back. That way, you might elect to stay away from that frigate if you were not in a position to take her... could have them attack you depending on your reputation etc. I agree...
