So, I've been slowly getting re-hooked to this classic. New graphics = yay, almost all of the old gameplay = yay.

It's not a very deep game at all, still, but for some reason it's still addicting as hell.

I don't understand some of the changes....like sometimes I sail into a port that doesn't have a fort. In the old days I was able to attack every port. In this game, I sail in and I just dock instead of plundering the town. Maybe because I have a Letter of Marque and we're no longer at war, I dunno, that didn't matter in the old days.

Fighting 2 ships at a time is fun, and the swordfighting improvements make it harder....No more cutlass, high slash high slash auto wins hehe.

Anyone else playing this?

P.S. Fuck you to whoever took out the part where the port has a fort and you sail in, dodging fire and trying to make landfall to scale the forts walls. Now it's automatically a landbattle which, while more detailed then the old one and fun, I don't want to do all the time.

I guess it makes it harder to take on Ports with 500 infantry with just 92 Pirates like in the old days, that's probably the point...but still.
