    Is gaining experience built into this game?

    If you go and play, and do something many times, is experience built in, with whatever was the game elements? Say with swordfighting, you make more correct moves, do you get faster, or do you have to buy the special items only? Does your crew get better fighting, from experience if kept...

    Post Your High Scores HERE!

    I have not had time to even finish a game yet. But then again, I just play for the feel of the game, and not the stats. I am playing though as a pure Pirate, and I think the game, wants the player to shy away from that part of the game. But then, it just may be tougher, the way I am playing it...

    Sid...What did you do??????

    Well, if one uses the chase view of the ship and zooms in all the way (plus or minus key on keypad) then sailing all over the place to look around will still make your head whoosey, and all of that. Plus the funny compass to sail around with will still help. So, it is up to the player to still...

    Post Your High Scores HERE!

    I will try the # 6 button, although at times I used it (which was only a couple), it seemed not to be doing anything. Although I getting better with the ducking and jumping, and seemingly doing that when I suppose I should not be doing that. That did help though in one sword fight. It is in...

    Post Your High Scores HERE!

    Yes, well, I see that you became a Govenor, but I plan to become a Nortorius Pirate, and only have bounty on me head, and gold, and ruby rings, similiar to the Top Ten Pirate List. I also keep score by counting the number of twiddles from the nose I get from Captains in Swordfights in the...

    Sid...What did you do??????

    I like it and the graphics, but I still think more could be added to it. The sailing is fine to me, because it takes time to get anywhere so you have to plan ahead to what you will do, and all of that. The newer features are more of an adventure type spirit than just taking gold and ships, and...

    Silver Train and Treasure Fleet ?

    Yes, one player saw 5 Spanish Treasure ships. They get together sometimes like with the group of 3, and probably with the biggest fleet near Havana. Then they split and may get a military escort, but the military escort is carrying most of the gold. Like one treasure ship with a military escort...

    Sid...What did you do??????

    Why don't you get in good with the Indians and kick out the New World Intruders in this game? Everything in this game -- is a cheat to help you. Use your original ship and crew. Know your way around? Go and change resolution to 640 x 480 mode and only use the chase view of your ship, and zoom...

    Pirates vs Port Royale 2

    You can have what you think is a game because you see it in the game. But then, you can have Pirates! (the original) and find out that what you thought was not in the game usually is, it is just the fact that you do not see it. Use the Chase view in the game of Pirates! and zoom in all the...

    Is it just me or is this game a tad easy

    And don't forget that sometimes the military ship escorts are carrying most of the gold. Yarr! Be a Nortorius Pirate! Sid and Jeff are such kidders!

    Is it just me or is this game a tad easy

    Sid is such a kidder along with Jeff at firaxis.com. Anyway, if they are giving you Letters of Marque then it is because they do not want you to attack their Nationality. It is a little like politics there in this game. Makes me smile! And of course, the player can sail against the wind~...

    Is it just me or is this game a tad easy

    Oh, and do not forget the zoom in and out keys on the numeric pad, the plus and minus keys, and the follow ship view for the game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

    Is it just me or is this game a tad easy

    mmmmmmm............................ I suppose the difficulty is that the player keeps the same ship when starting and trys and keeps all the crew the ship can hold -- alive, and kicking at the end of the time period. <img...
