The game is very harsh on this, as soon as you do anything bounty-worthy you are seen as a pirate and the Navies of all countries will come hunting you Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-68596098735878887352011-05-10T09:28:20.586+08:002011-05-10T09:28:20.586+08:00thanks! good to know that the pirate way is a feas...thanks! good to know that the pirate way is a feasible way. i'm very sure i will play this again because i want to do some pirating!Hiew Chok Sien 邱卓成https://www.blogger.com/profile/17243478408389021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-87314853451645676262011-05-09T23:59:54.747+08:002011-05-09T23:59:54.747+08:00Great review as awlays, Hiew!

I love the freedom the game gives you and how you aren't pigeon-holed into going one way or the other - it's perfectly acceptable to deliver goods for Glory when you are a pirate as it is to raid a merchant ship when you are chrismcfaddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966447146225342426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-65928920839785414702011-04-25T10:32:05.023+08:002011-04-25T10:32:05.023+08:00battle rules aren't difficult, just that the b...battle rules aren't difficult, just that the battles feel quite painful for both parties, seeing your ship getting torn to shreds. i guess that's the way it should be. in each battle round both sides decide whether to shoot, attempt to board, or attempt to flee. then both sides roll dice to determine who is more successful. <br /><br />yes, this game reminds me a lot of sid meier's Hiew Chok Sien 邱卓成https://www.blogger.com/profile/17243478408389021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-15869281137895564522011-04-25T09:57:22.023+08:002011-04-25T09:57:22.023+08:00This sounds like an Ameritrashy game done right.

I noticed that this blog post focuses more on reports of the sessions you had instead of game mechanics. Are the battle rules very complicated? Because it sounds like it took a while for you guys to go through them.<br /><br />I've read this deckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972546938009270251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-76686984961961432202011-04-25T09:09:10.504+08:002011-04-25T09:09:10.504+08:00in the games that i played there was not much down...in the games that i played there was not much downtime, because most of the time we took our actions without waiting for our turns. only when turn order mattered we waited for our previous player(s) to make their decisions before we made our moves. <br /><br />our first game took about 2 hrs. our 3rd game took 50 minutes.Hiew Chok Sien 邱卓成https://www.blogger.com/profile/17243478408389021695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-85457484999145427802011-04-25T08:49:17.922+08:002011-04-25T08:49:17.922+08:00too much down time from this game, bored like hell...too much down time from this game, bored like hell! overall is an ok.荒凉。儒https://www.blogger.com/profile/05602328220693851359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-9306761278620235472011-04-25T02:17:41.534+08:002011-04-25T02:17:41.534+08:00What a great idea for a blog!
