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

    Well..not much in the way of goods. but the scythe can probably fetch a coin or two. Dont think youll get much for the tattered cloak though. Although you can probably grind up his bones and sell the powder to the native tribe shamans for ritualistic use. <img...

    Best Ship in game?

    If you dont want to make the leap to a Frigate, ive found a Brig of War to be a wonderful ship once youve gotten its copper plating and cotton sails added. She's got 32 cannons, yes, as many as a Frigate, but she's about half the size and quite manueverable. She isnt as fast as a frigate or...

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

    I say retire only when death himself comes aboard your ship, meaning to take her. And then only after trying to repel boarders... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> <img...

    Life as a Smuggler/Trader?

    The only problem with trying to play a `pro-spaniard` is that , with the only 3 main villans, Mendoza, Montalban, and Raymondo all bieng Spanish, you cant possibly ever hope to save your family without having to attack their Spanish Galleons lol.

    Custom sail/flag pack 0.2 Here!

    Regardless of the PC lack of blood, watching enemy crew get blasted off their ship, fly through the air, and then get left for dead in the middle of the ocean, as the battling ships continue to pound each other to snot, is kind of morbidly exciting, dont ya think? I still laugh here and there...

    Biggest Land War Victory???

    Well, the men will thank you for not making them haul 5000 tons of sugar, spices, goods, cannons, and such, through the rainforests in the middle of monsoon season. Really they will. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif"...

    Question about ship's guns

    How do they load? Always too dang slow...always...and especially when that enemy frigate managed to get the wind guage on you and is about to lay in a nasty broadside. I dont care if ive got 225 men on a 40 gun large frigate, they STILL dont load fast enough for me to be satisfied lol. And no...

    Where am I?

    It takes some time to get used to walking around with the spyglass zoomed in, but if you do it, and pay close attention to landmarks and your compass, it becomes a LOT easier. One tip is to keep the spyglass zoom circle down low on the screen, and panning side to side repeatedly,so you can look...

    have you ever

    Wellllll.... Piracy is still fairly common in some areas of the world. There are still cases of out and out piracy in the South Pacific, Indonesia, and Yellow Sea. Its a pretty fair chance your going to end up victim to piracy in those places if you meet a few of the following criteria: 1)...

    Heheheh. I got my SOTL when i left St. Eustasius bound for Trinidad. It was a Dutch SOTL bieng escorted by a Large Frigate. the fact that i was already a dutch admiral didnt sway me one moment from turning my own Frigate to and taking them both heheheheh. Just made sure i sacked trinidad...

    Biggest Land War Victory???

    Well...the pirates themselves should not be bringing their own cannon anyway...would YOU want to drag a ton of ordnance through a jungle to attack someone? AS far as the city cannon...maybe it depends on the length of the battle for the cannon to be deployed? The biggest land victory i...
