I just bought the new pirates game. I am loving it. I have started out as a Dutch many times. I have never played more then 4 hours straight without restarting--it is a quirck of mine.

My brother and I used to play D&D all the time, but he had a thing for killing us after level 8, rolling up chartacters was the best part for us.

Anyways, I am thinking of actually playing till retirement. ANyone else a fan? What kind of fleet do you try and have. I usually have just a sloop and a trade gallon.

I want to convert as many french and Spanish cities to Dutch. That is my role playing objective.

Damn! I was hoping it was the original Piates!

I have never played the original, but from every fan I talk to, the feedback is it is VERY faithful to the 80s version. Apparently it is one of the best remakes.

I am now into prirates games. I think I will get Port ROyal 2 today. I wish I could talk to someone who has played both.
