    Has anyone ever actually been to Gran Granada?

    One thing the game doesn't seem to handle well is the `land-locked` cities. I sacked and took over Puerto Principe and changed it to French. I came back a year or so later and the city still had no soldiers, no population, and was poor. There doesn't seem to be any way to get troops...

    The French attacking themselves

    Yeah, the game needs to handle this aspect better. Many times I have seen a pirate or Indian force take out a city, then immediately the nation will send over immigrants or troops. If you then swoop in and take over the city for another country, the troops/immigrants will still be delivered...

    The best Base of Operations EVER!

    I also think the crew morale is affected by how long your current voyage is. Some other members here have tested this I believe but I forget what their results were. When my voyage goes longer that 24 months I find the crew gets unhappy a lot quicker. <img...

    My wife got a nice tan!

    I worked really hard through one game to get the beautiful, `brown-haired` French daughter in `Port-de`-Paix. I married her then went on a voyage. When I came back, Spain had taken over the city! Bewildered, I visit the governor and lo and behold here comes my wife! Not only did she have a...

    possible to attack other settlement types

    I swear one time I got a message like this: "Spain has captured the settlement of..." Perhaps the word settlement was just a term for a really small city and not an actual settlement. You will often see troops being transported out of settlements too so it's good to conquer cities next to...

    Fun

    Watching the governors laughing at you in the corner is one of the best things in the game. When I first started my guy was stumbling everywhere and it was hilarious! About 10 daughters rejected me before I finally got one down. Now it's a piece of cake. With dancing shoes I sometimes miss...

    ship surrender needs one more option

    Hey, I'm as blood thirsty as the next buccaneer, all I'm saying is that it should at least be an option. It's a pain to keep stringing all those trade galleons along and seems kind of ridiculous just to fire a perfectly good ship just because you're stealing from them. In the heroic, movie...

    ship surrender needs one more option

    Pirates! assumes that you're a flat out `black-hearted` murderer. They should also give the option to let a plundered ship go free. If you plunder then sink 10 ships, you are seriously `mass-murdering` hundreds of people. That's a bit evil for the handsome hero of the game.

    artillery in land battles?

    Anyone ever seen these? I haven't. How big does the opposing army need to be to see some cannons?

    Natives in land battles and Native items

    The manual says that natives that appear in land battles can appear on either side of the battle. I've never once had natives appear on my side. Was this another inconsistency between the manual and what got in the game? The native items, shrunken head and jewelled totem, do these really do...

    Kidnapped

    I romanced two daughters, French and Dutch. I got them both to the kidnapped stage, rescued the French and then married her. I then went back the the Dutch port and the Dutch daughter romance was over, but she still reacted in the married manner, i.e. calling me "darling!" etc. Thing is...

    Why is it always him?

    Yeah, I agree, they could have put some variety in the game by making Baron Raymondo a different guy each time. Maybe even showing the evil guys at the intro movie for extra flavor. I mean, if Raymondo knows all about your family, why can't you make him tell you all the first time?

    Ruby ring and diamond necklace

    Back on subject.....the ruby ring will give you info like Baron Raymondo, or Marquis Montablan, the Diamond Necklace will give you better info like a contract on a criminal or a Indian treasure map. If you've already found a lot of the above, the necklace may only give you info on Raymondo etc.

    Useless things?

    I think that repairs to your ships are made only when a new month starts. You can notice your sails get patched up when the 1st of the month occurs. I believe they fix about `10-15`% each time.
