By now you may have come across Sashanan's excellent Pirates! Strategy Guide but you'll have read it as a text file that, because of the tremendous amount of information in it, can be hard to read. We're therefore happy to offer you Sashanan's Strategy Guide formatted into something more accessible and pleasing to the eyes. Check out the guide and, if you haven't read it yet, be amazed with how much you didn't know about the game yet!

New to the game? Confused about what you are supposed to be doing? Too many questions in your mind and too

know to start out your career as a privateer in the Spanish Main!

One of the most critical parts of the game is fencing. You have to engage into duels in order to capture booty,
to avenge your family, to save barmaids from trouble and to win the heart(s) of your sweetheart(s). Rupertlittlebear has put on
his Zatoichi costume and is prepared to turn all of you into master swordsmen. (Note that there is a file connected with this
article available in the Mods section.)

Another critical part of the game, and one that has caused more than one grey hair to those fierce pirates who thought that gold
rings and jewellery were all that you needed to capture your sweetheart's heart, is dancing. Many a pirate has been turned away
from the dimly lit chambers of the governors' mansions merely because of their innate lack of coordination when it comes to
taking the lady through the moves. But now Gun Pierson, the embodiment of charm and wit, has arrived to the Cutlass Isle with his
sidekick, Rupertlittlebear, and together they are prepared to teach you the secrets of ballroom dancing.

If you're an avid "Sid Meier's Pirates!" fan, and have either read Sashanan's FAQ, spent some time in the manual or pirateopedia, or have otherwise heard rumors about the Ship of the Line and have wondered about it, this would be a good read for you.

Now that the game is out, players are looking for ways to customize their game. Firaxis has made it easy for people to change the flags and sails of their ships, or have they? It's not very difficult, once someone has shown you how to do it. Cutlass Isle is the official home to Wolfwood's Flag and Sail Emblems tutorial, which makes a professional flag and emblem modder out of anyone.
