Forum Overview :: Sid Meier's Pirates!

THe problem with this game by FABIO 03/17/2008, 1:09pm PDT Was that once you got the hang of it, sword fighting is way too easy on any difficulty lower than swashbuckler. Unfortunately at that level they make the sailing "realistic" which translates to moving really really slow and barely able to sail west. Ship battles suck because you can never move, but the computer remains unaffected so your sloop will constantly be outmaneuvered by an enemy merchantman.

WHAT AM I, A SAILOR? NT by FABIO 03/17/2008, 6:58pm PDT     I liked everything but the sailing. Unfortunately sailing is 75% of the game.
