Searching for enemy-> worst thing in this game :(
Ok, I got 40 k gold now, and I've been fighting like a half hour against of one ship, or actually two, but first one I killed in no time. But searching for enemy's in low moving ship from 400x400m map whitout any help... It's destroy every game, in spite of how good the game is otherwise :(
Great pirate game
Great game, but it could use an option in battle to escape without losing your ship. Maybe have to wait thirty sdeconds, I know how slow the comp ship is. Also, It's extremly difficult. Give more money for sinking an enemy and in the overview/map thing, I'd like to see less of an option to attack ships of my own country. I see this alot with England.
Needs more hentai
Just kidding. It takes a lot from Sid Meier's Pirates! Suggestions: Add actual trading. Instead of just buying supplies, you can sell on prices going up and down at each town. Also add the Dutch, and make upgrading cannons easier. I didn't know if I was actually upgrading them or not. And more ways to earn money...Maybe add the charming the governer's daughter, without the stupid dancing thing.
Good game, but some things I don't get
Like the title says, there's some things I'd like to know about.
For starters, why should you buy a contract to fight for a country, imo it seems more reasonable that the country should pay you to fight for them. I don't see mercenaries pay some country money so they could die for that country =)
Second, the goal is to conquer all towns, but when you do conquer one, it should be yours, but instead you can attack it again the second you leave. Why would you attack a town you own, and why would your own people who you put there fight against you? Doesn't really make any sense to me.
And last a little suggestion: when you do capture a town, you should get some benefits, like a number of free crew members you can recruit in your own town, or a cheaper market. Now it costs alot of time to prepare an attack on some bigger towns, and when you get one, you have to start gathering gold again for the next, you win absolutly nothing.
Besides that I enjoyed the game, good job =)
its pretty cool
It could be better if you could keep the type of cannon you have when you take over an enemy ship and i think madjokemikes idea is pretty cool. there should also be types of crewman or mercenaries like asian pikemen and crossbowmen or british redcoat musketeers and native amercians and its also cool madjokemikes idea for other ships to aid you in battle like spanish privateers or british frigates and french galleons. and more types of ammo to buy such as sharpenal shells or 10,12,14,16,or 18 shot explosive canister round shot, spark shot, spike shot, and other's you can think of. and add more nations like Germany, Russia, Australia, India nad more. and more types of ships like chinese junks caravels for fast moving and ramming with a large crew and heavy war frigates but they move slow , moniters, large large sail ships with long range mortors attatched to the side. and another thing is when you go to a ship yard you should be able to upgrade you ships cannons, capacity, damage, speed, hull, and reloading speed cause this will be a lot more helpful. i hope there is a second one
