Pirates! is out!
...and full of bugs. Luckily I did not buy it but it seems that already shortly after the release the forums are full with complaints about the game.
Luckily I learned my lesson from Civ3 and do not trust Firaxis at all. Seems to be the right decision. |

That is pretty evil. I m not buying it either.
(I am not saying I am going to go all "Captain Meli Redbeard" either )

I've tried it out and after 2 hours I was so bored (and annoyed) that I uninstalled it.
You sail around and fight, then sail some more and fight some more. Then there is the sailing and fighting together with some fighting and sailing. One can also trade a little, but it's not really thought out imho and really doesn't make sense (since the profit is minimal and takes 10x longer than the fighting and sailing routine ). Land fights are HORRIBLE and take forever. But that's just me, I might have been biased from the start. |

Sounds a bit like I expected, and was more or less what I thought when I played the pirates for windows version a while back

I might even consider to actually buy this game, even though I had decided never to buy a firaxis game again.

Is it like that? () IIRC the big bucks came in when you digged up a treasury after liberating a family member or by treasure fleet/silver train capturing. Quote:

@Markstar: iirc Pirates original (have not played Pirates 2), then you have missed most of the fun. Hunting treasures and promoting to higher ranks is the fun indeed as well as marriage. But just sailing and fighting might be a bit boring indeed on the lower difficulty levels apparenty.
