Less Comic and more realism would be fine but not to much of it. But that suits me more than a blood & gore pirates. unsure.gif' style='vertical-align:middle' emoid=':?' border='0' alt='unsure.gif' /> Maybe pirates is a Child game cause of its comicstyle graphics, animations etc. whistling.gif' style='vertical-align:middle' emoid=' ' border='0' alt='whistling.gif' /> ItÂ´s true that pirates is / was to easy on Amiga and nowerdays no matter which difficulty you choose.

So you usually have to sustain a high damage for you first ship, but you can capture the enemy convoy in your second to third round.įun level is not too great though. THe battle is sometime annoying because you mostly have to use one ship against five. SO don't bother to look for treasure on the land. It has treasure searching mechanism as well, but rather brief as all treasures are floating on the sea. More over, once you wage war to a nation, you can't trade with that nation for quite some time making your market smaller. This is because you need to maintain the ships cost, crew cost and captain cost, which can only covered by looting other military ships and then sell them in the shipyard. It is very hard to approach the game in military and tycoon method at the same time because once you organize a strong fleet, you will have at very high cost that is impossible to cover using an even profitable trade route.

You will set up pirates network and get percentage loot from other pirates that use your convoy.

I've never tried this, but it seems that only after you make deal with pirates in the inn, you can set foot on pirate stronghold. Playing method will be pretty similar to Pirate! in this gameplay. You obtain letter of marque and destroy other nations military convoy to weaken them. Or you can approach the game in military way. A city with garmet production will constantly have abundant supplies on garmet (so lower prices), but then demand a lot of cotton and thus your can make profit by selling cotton in that city. It's pretty easy to follow if you think about the products logically. THe economic system is rather on supply demand basis. Or you can have your own town and build it to a florishing cities. You own farm or factory and then sell the production to make profit. You setup trade route and production type.

Port royale 2 good trading route
