One of the best openrpll play game ever made

Hello to all i have been playing pirates since it came out on apple in the early 80’s for the first apple pc and commodore pc now that’s old. the game has changed over the years and the new version is excellent… have yet to have any issues with it… Now the down side the original pirates had the silver train which you could capture plus the treasure fleet while in port would yield up to 50,000 in gold the new version kind of lacks big treasure captures the most i have seen on a treasure ship is 5,500 never seen anything bigger than that loot taken towns the same small yields. i did a tally of how much gold you can capture thru an entire game and the most is 1,000,000 pcs. of gold for the entire game and that is following a set plan of trade plunder and looting.
But all in all it’s a very good game.. the designer made the game so you can play at your pace it’s up to the user to seek great fortune or flounder.. the object is to build your rank find your family and evenged your family name…. hint cough it does have tricks and hint in the game you just got to look at it as a puzzle.. hint if you want to make large plunders from other name pirates hold off on capturing other pirates the the longer you keep them in the game the more you can plunder from them when you in counter them. i wait till 15 yrs. game time then hunt for pirates. what i stated above is fact. as when i hit henry morgan at the end he had 65,000 when i beat him… this is a great game hours of funny wish they would create a new game pirates of the east indies and you can sail to and from each area. i rate the game 5 Stars we have a pirates club weir a few of us gather to play each month for over 30 yrs.
