Quoted By:
pirate games pretty much peaked with this game anyway
you could do ship to ship combat, boarding duels, capturing enemy ships and adding them to your fleet or selling them or sink them, capturing enemy cargo, be a trader going from port to port, be a pirate only robbing, search for hidden maps leading to treasure, become political and fight the british or dutch or spanish, assault forts and cities and capture them, buy different ships and cannons, explore a big map, etc.
