The problem with towns not being able to attack is that when you have become a duke you will have to sack a DOZEN towns before you automatically have the option.

I have found if I go back to the governor over and over he will often give me more land. He will say oh you sank a galleon blah blah and give me 50 acres, afteer having given me more 2 other times in the same visit.

One annoyance is that when I try to anchor near a town, it will take me into the town, wasting a week of game time.

Sometimes I have to anchor a loooong way away from a town to walk to it to attack it.

On some islands it is virtually impossible to attack them once they believe youa re a good guy.

I was up around the Havana, Florida Keys area attacking Spanish Galleons. I turned Florida keys in to Dutch so I could have a place to stop for repairs, men and promotions. I was heading into Florida Keys and noticed 2 Spanish pirate hunters behind the island, sand bar or what ever it is. At any rate, these 2 ships sailed right through solid land to get to me! Mad

I defeated them even with sail damage. A little while later there was a merchant ship in the same place so I figured I would try to "sail through land" like the spanish pitate hunters did to get to me. Of course the bug wasn't there for me Crying or Very sad

LOL... This seems to be a serious bug in this game. Non player controlled ships sailing through solid land and other ships. Its still a fun game though even with these bugs. I'll just have to wait for the patch that will hopefully fix these problems.

You could tell them to give cyberops a call and implement most of what he has already done.
But....that makes too much sense.

I don't know if this is a bug as such, but I certainly find it annoying. I attack a villian's ship, reducing its crew enough that their flag turns white. I then board the ship, get the little movie with the sword being presented to me and the message about the demoralized crew giving up, but then then the sword fight with the villian starts, the size of the ship's crew matters to the outcome and some of my crew gets killed fighting them.

Either don't have the crew "surrender" (sparing the time it takes to load and run the surrender clip) or just have the sword fight be like the ones in the taverns where the crew does not matter.

I'd also like to see something done with the Treasure Fleet, like make it more recognizable. The closet I think I've come is 4 Treasure Galleons together but I was never sure it was the fleet. The original game informed you when you captured it and it also went into the log (I think). Also make it really worth going after, in the original game capturing the fleet paid off very well.

Issues:
Regarding the land disembark loop: This happens to me whenever I disembark onto a tile that has a landmark feature. My troops bounce off the feature, spin around, bounce off the ship, spin around ad nasaeum.

Regarding the escortee/escort cargo issue: This happens to me whenever I select the escortee as my initial target, but end up boarding the escort ship first. What happens is you recieve the cargo from the ship you selected to attack in the menu. THEN you recieve said cargo again when you finish off the escort and take out the escortee.

Glitch: I have noticed ships getting stuck inside towns. There were a coupld of french ships spinning around in tight circles trying to get out of a dutch town. Whom they were at war with. They had probably been there for some time as the every time I floated past, there they were, spinning around through the town graphic. Anyone else seen this? This could be related to ships passing through shoals and rocks unharmed when I explode at the slightest touch.

I have a P4 1.4 with a Radeon 9600. Why do my sea battles slow down to turtle on 1024x768 when there are more than two ships?
Also, why the hell is the sneaking through town so slow? I had the game running great at top resolution until the sneaking through town bit. I can run Doom 3 quite nicely, but this game requires only a PIII 1.0.

Also, if you find your duels getting harder the longer youplay the game, restart the game, you'll find your wee pirate's agility renewed also. Well I did.
