    Will We See the New Gamebryo in the Game?

    As the news on the main page of the site shows, the new Gamebryo will be out sometime in October. Do you think that Pirates! will be upgraded or do you think it will use the current one? I really do hope Firaxis will upgrade, because it sounds like the new engine has some good features to offer...

    Noticing Graphics Changes?

    When looking over all the screenshots at GameSpot, I noticed that the graphics for the sea are a little bit different from 5/4/04 than they are from 5/24/04. Here is one from May 4th: <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/sidpirates/screens.html?page=37"...

    Should a Pirates! Channel be Opened on mIRC?

    I was just wondering whether the Pirates! community would care enough for a Pirates! chat channel to be opened in mIRC. If enough people want it to be opened, I'll spread the word to other fan sites so we can all get together and chat live. But on the other hand, if not a lot of people care...

    Ships Can Attack Land Settlements?

    When you look at this screenshot, notice the second ship -- the one in the back. It looks a lot like he is firing shots at the settlement. What really kicks me off is that they already mentioned that attacking forts will not be possible from the sea. Judging from the graphic itself, I cannot...

    A few new screenshots at Gamespot

    I found some more little artwork that was updated today (probably just as I was surfing over there <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> ). <a...

    What Are Your Expectations For Pirates!?

    In my opinion, what we see so far is not very detailed and in depth about the game (movie and screenshot wise) and the playing atmosphere is not yet clear. That is ok obviously, I am not whining about more information; I am trying to get to a point. The point is that from what I see so far, so...

    Game Speed

    As pointed out in some other posts, I think that the game is just too fast. Too fast to experience sailing from island to island. The clouds and weather and everything just moves so fast that you get everything, but then, you get it for a few seconds. I don’t think that at this speed the game...

    Is this an old interview at GameSpot?

    I found some interviews with the CEO of Firaxis (Jeff Briggs). There is a video of the game showing some of its features. I've seen it for the first time and it is interesting. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"...

    Port Royal

    I found something that might prove that the map Pirates! takes place on is much bigger than the one in the screenshot section of some previews. This link [5th paragraph]... <a href="http://www.ugo.com/channels/games/features/sidmeierspirates/preview.asp"...

    Adding Cannon?

    I really don't know how it was in the first Pirates! game, so this question may be obvious for some of you. The screenshot here suggests that you may be able to buy cannons if they are available: <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.net/images/stories/e3/P13.jpg"...

    Look at the Facts

    Well, I know many say that Pirates! compared to some other game is somewhat unrealistic. I used to think so too, but after reading some historically correct information on a very cool website, it was almost like I was reading features from the Pirates! website. Here is an article about...

    Am I Seeing Things? (Whales?)

    When you look at this screenshot, it looks like there are whales in the ocean. I have looked at this screenshot before but this is the first time I have noticed this… And if they are whales, are they just there for eye candy…? <img src="http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/Whales.jpg"...

    Can't use more of your ships in sea battles...

    Yup, you can only use one ship in your fleet. I just read it in an article (an older one). Does anyone know how other pirates games's systems work when you have more ships?

    Best Pirate Game?

    Well, as I hear, there will (obviously) be more games about pirates. Sea Dogs 2 will be one as well as Sid Meier’s Pirates!. There are some others too. In your opinion, which will be the best? The game I have the most information on now is Pirates!. I don’t even know an official site...

    Laptops...

    I plan on running this game on a laptop. I know that some controls have been made to use the full keyboard. I am just wondering whether there is no real difference and if you can set which key does what?

    Small Changes You'd Like

    This is obviously a $50 game and to buy it and see that some silly things are still in would certainly be disappointing (not to mention noticing big, silly things <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":oops"...
