    Pirates Ho! (a review of Sid Meier's Pirates!)

    I don't think it's about nautical ranks. It's just ranks. I guess Count or Marquis isn't a nautical nor military rank either.

    did the official reviewers play for more than 5min????

    This should take you back to where it all began.

    Wow, we agree on something! :P

    Morgan, Kidd, & Treasure Fleet

    Actually, I think you may see a fleet of treasure ships once in a while, but usually it's just a ship or two. I don't think they're supposed to act as the treasure fleet though. Because I've seen single french or english treasure ships too.

    ship battles very slow?

    Ah, but it does depend on the wind in this too, and the original did have a bit slower battles than normal sailing. I never said anything about being independent on the wind.

    why is the game soooooooo slow?

    I hope to god he doesn't change the sailing speed to being the same speed all the time, but I do hope he makes a patch where it makes you sail a wee bit faster against the wind. I know its's realistic, but being this realistic is just plain boring. It should be more difficult to sail to the...

    This should take you back to where it all began.

    Ah, ok, just one question. Is it really bad to be open about downloading the game? Does it really matter that much to you? And is saying you downloaded a game actually bragging? Isn't there a difference between: "I downloaded the game, but I will buying it as soon as it hit the local shores"...

    hehe I'm back - `re-registered` and all!

    Oh, I just realized that I would have wanted a Vikings game in the same vein. Probably best as a mod though. But after you mentioned that you always choose to be english (I do too, but last couple of times I've chosen spanish just for the fun of sacking your own nation... a true pirate with no...

    This should take you back to where it all began.

    Yeah, it's easy to blame everything on piracy, but that's just being ignorant. And if the police or anybody came to my house to search for pirated games, they'd just turn and walk away when they saw my enormous stack of original legally obtained games... :P And I think giving the IP...

    ship battles very slow?

    The fact is though, that the ships doesn't move and turn as fast in battlemode as in normal sailmode. So that could be the problem. They're supposed to be like that. It was like that in the original game too, I know 'cause I've played it a few weeks ago.

    This should take you back to where it all began.

    Thinking that the prices would be lower if piracy didn't exist is a bit gullible imo. Here in norway, nothing is cheap. Almost everything you buy is expensive as hell, compared to other countries. I assume you mean australian dollars, when using that dollarsign? If it is, then a game that costs...

    Brought back wonderful memories

    hehe, yeah, thanks but I have amiga joysticks already. Among them are the WICO Bathandle, zipstik and Maverick II. All three excellent amiga joysticks. The amiga shared the same controller ports as Sega Megadrive, C64 and Atari too, so at that time you bought a joystick that fits all. Unlike...

    This should take you back to where it all began.

    So, would you rather we shut up about it so that you can be blissfully ignorant? What about those who have both, but downloaded prior to it's european release because they couldn't wait? You angry at those too? Can you honestly say that you never played a pirated copy, and if not, is Pirates...

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

    Ah, I misread your post, sorry. I don't know if there are any particular stuff that you'll miss by dancing with here, as you can get them somway or another from the mysterious stranger among other things. Also, don't think your relationship with the governer weakens, as it seems to be at the...

    "Live the Life" (?!)

    I would have liked to have kids in the game, which you could train up to be pirates as well. Imagine the cute scenes with your 6 year old boy practising with his father with sticks, or letting your 19 year old daughter teach you how to dance properly. Although, It should end with your life...

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

    You will be given gifts, information about missing familymembers and stuff like that. EDIT: and just to add this, I'm finally getting an original of the game, so now I'm not a pirate in the bad sense anymore. Difference is, I'm not buying it, I'm getting it for free as a freelance writer. I'm...

    Brought back wonderful memories

    I didn't buy Pirates! at all. I was young and careless, and pirating didn't give me bad counscious, like it does now. However, I bought the original `amiga-version` a couple of years ago, when I came over it - although that wouldn't help Sid Meier much. I originally tried Pirates! on the C64...

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

    Just accept every dance you'll be asked to, and play the game as you would normally do. Don't think about practising, just play, and when you that you do it right, keep doing it like that. Learn to look at the womans handmoves, don't ever look down on your keyboard. Don't even try using the...
