slow
nice concept but the gameplay is slow.
and there is little variation.
Reviews for "Black Sails"
good but...
It was a good game, however it is relatively hard to gain money and theres the fact that it is extremely difficult to board another ship, the only times ive been able to do it is when i didnt want to. mabye you could find a fix to these problems.
well...
It's basically a flash remake of sid meier's pirates, which is good as that's one of my favorite games. Not really outstanding in any way though.
Nice, but could use improvement
Overall, a pretty good game to waste time with, and definitely has a lot of potential.
As others have said, though, the ships you fight tend to get off screen and take forever to find again. Either programming their AI so that if they're off screen they go towards you or just putting arrows at the edge of the screen to give you a gist of where to go would fix this pretty well. The combat in general got a little dull, but the overall engine for it was pretty awesome.
More features would also be nice. Personally, I'd really like to be able to customize my ship beyond buying new ones and getting the best of three kinds of cannons. I especially wish improved sails for speed and maneuverability were available.
Taking over towns feels really pointless. Perhaps make it so once they're yours they pay you tribute every month, proportional to the size of the town.
great game but I have to concur with everything

also the combat could do a little improvement (more ammo types and ships)
possibly a trade system (buying and selling products between citys for extra profit?)
also the game glitched and when I started writing this review the year was 5111
now its around the year 9234.....and I still can't buy a magical unicorn ship!
but still its a good game,please refine it a bit
