Just started playing again last night. I couldn't find my cds so I bought it for a few bucks on Steam. Started it up and proceeded to get my butt handed to me because I forgot how to do everything! Got sent to jail and shortly after got my ship sunk. Took me a bit to get my sea legs back.

Welcome aboard! Go to the "Powder Monkey's Introduce Yourself" thread and tell us about testogen review https://ncaids.org/testogen-review/ here and who you are!

Go to the "Guide" section at the top of your screen, click on it and select the "How To" guide written by Shashan. It is the "Bible" of teaching people how to play Pirates. After that, feel free to ask any questions you may have. I think it is fair to say we know just about everything about this game and are very eager to help!

Good to see a new guy! Keep on posting!

Haha! This is a nice game, although I'm new to it. One of my friends recommended it and I too bought it through Steam.

Haven't launched a game now in a few years... Wish I had time for 3-4 hours of uninterrupted video bliss.

But, I wouldn't trade RL commitments for that time. Maybe if a new version comes along, I will work it into the schedule.

I would also prefer a new version, but I still love this game and play it occassionally. BTW, new to this forum. Smile

I started a new game last night. It's been too long! Once again, my Pirate is Gun Pierson. I chose Rogue, English and 1660. Instead of starting at Barbados I started at Port Royal. Things are going well. I have lots of money and two relatives so far. Plus four Pirate Treasures. I am leaving the named pirates alone until year #8 when I get them and go after Monty's hideout. I captured a Spanish Pinnace right away and and have been using it as my ship. Life is good! I hope to retire well before I turn 30 years old.

Salty,
I noticed you started the game at 'Rogue". What skill did you choose?

I always use Navigation to speed the game up. I am all about speed. I would rather start another game than play slowly.

Finished my game tonight. I retired at age 30 in Fair Health. Rescured all 4 relatives, got Monty at his hideout, knocked off all 9 pirates and got all 9 treasures. Married the Beauty from Havana. Found two Lost Cites and got 2 more map pieces. I could have continued but wanted to retire at age 30. I could have found 1 more city at age 30 but decided to call it quits. I finished as Duke with England, Dutch and France but as a Count with the Spanish. This is a normal game for me, I try to retire at age 30 or earlier. I used a Pinnace I captured from a French Smuggler very early in the game.

After getting hit by a pang of nostalgia, I just repurchased the game and played the mandatory initial Apprentice level, earning 120 points (5% of the spoils doesn’t go very far!). Starting a swashbuckler level now and will write back.

I know there probably haven’t been any official challenges on the forum in a while, but I’d be up for one if anyone is so inclined!
