Was a good basis. But needed more
It's got a whole lot of swashbuckling in it BUT
There was one problem:
The only things to do were fighting ships on the High Seas, and fighting cities.
And, that doesn't leave a whole lot to do when you just start, cos other ships are HUGE and cities are well guarded...
If there was other stuff, I apologise.
But at the same time, I don't, cos it wasn't obvious enough for a fool like me.
Had great potential.
Just, add in some more ways of earning money.
Like trading, or doing missions for your Contract.
And, on an historical note:
I doubt very highly if the King of England/France/Spain spent a significant amount of time in the Carribean.
