    Are naval battles supposed to be in slow motion?

    The wind changes more in a ship battle, and if you use the chase view to play the game, and zoom in or out using the plus or minus key on the numeric pad, you will probably see, very little change in the ship battles. Especially if you notice that the wind is changing all the time during the...

    When do you know that you been playing Pirates! too long?

    When you grab a bed post and sheet and go out in ye rowboat, attacking the yachts out in the harbor, with a fishing pole or an oar yelling -- I'm a bloody Pirate and ye are in me way! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif"...

    Sad about duels, won't buy Pirates! after all...

    Plus when you get the special items of pistol or pistols, your starting position changes when the duel starts, and you either get a step forward or a couple of steps forward before starting the duel, which is another advantage, against such a level as playing on Swashbuckler, which is one hard...

    Sad about duels, won't buy Pirates! after all...

    You are missing several things about swordfights. First, they are way different now. You either get faster, or slower depending on your Advantage. That spinning halo above your head, indicates that you are slower than your opponent. If you make the correct moves you get faster the halo goes...

    Sneaking into town- easily the worst part of the game

    Sorry, I just ain't in or want to be in with the Govenor's Daughter. They all look the same, and there is this pretty lass just down the street here, so the Govenor's Daughter just seems, well, to be from somewhere else, and I don't think that I really need her, and all the limelight. I just...

    So what's next?

    Go play as a pure Pirate, and sign up with no one. Watch what Wars are taking place. Work an area, then leave, and go to another area. Sneak in and Attack the ships the Pirates are going to attack, and take the ship away from that Pirate leaving the Pirate to go back to his Pirates' Haven...

    Is anyone still playing this game?

    I ain't even had time to finish a career yet. Going to Gamespot and answering questions and anything, has taken time away from the game. Gees! I only get to play a game a couple hours a day anyway, so find something to do. Try some craziness in the game, and see how you do. Take your...

    Sneaking into town- easily the worst part of the game

    Run out of town by using the Shift key held down while moving or get thrown back in jail to see if you can bribe anyone there to let you free. That is all in the game. And the rest of it, while you can be told from the bartender that someone is in the back room, awaiting for you to swordfight...

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

    I don kno -- I just felt like playing a game of Pirates only to sack Cartagena every year for the last 20 or so years. Don't kno why, just felt compelled, to gather up some men, and upgrades to me ships by attacking some ships, but then, just sack Cartagena and leave it back the same way, except...

    Is gaining experience built into this game?

    Okay, maybe instead of saying 'gaining experience' then I was referring to longevity as in prolonging how long the player can play. I would have to look back at Gamespot's forum for the game to see if health and other issues, more or less force one to retire. The game does not make one retire...

    Is gaining experience built into this game?

    Well, I must be dreaming. I saw my character do some new moves after about 3 years in the gaming time, and I thought that you could play longer, if you got the special items, and did better in the game. (This if from other players who have not retired until they were older than the 20 year span...

    Is gaining experience built into this game?

    Are you sure that there is not a way of boosting the morale of your crew except by just dividing the plunder? (plus the special items) The only reason I am asking, is that it seems in previous versions (which I have not played in a great while) that there were formulas for all of that, with...
