This game is completely under rated. These games done by Channel Four are historically accurate, very good quality, and has had time and effort put in.

This game rocks!
Handling a sailing ship should be a challenge, so the argument that it is too difficult is just whining.
The sailing is great, for the most part. Its not perfect, as the fastest point of sailing should be with the wind on the quarter (not running before the wind) but just having it matter at all makes the game very interesting!
The single-player missions were all easy to beat. The multi-play is very satisfying PVP.
I look forward to playing this game a lot more.

great strategy: All you need is speed and handling as high as you can get, if you go fast enough and ram someone's ship, they are damaged and you are not. Please rate this up so people can see it. Thanks

Really nice concept. We don't get to see a lot of games like this one. It has very nice ideas, but, unfortunetly, very bad features as well. Nice wind physics, but we should be able to control de acceleration a little bit more (besides dropping the ancor, should be possible to sail with 0 up to 3 sails "opened"). The handling is also terrible, it ruins most of the game fun, as well as the auto-zoom (should be controlled by the user). I agree that buying and improving parts of the ship would be just awesome, but the crew idea is very clever. Last thing is...the loot disappears too soon, sometimes I just kept going round and round the loot because of the bad handling and I lost it. Also, when you accomplish the objetives, you don´t have time to sail over the loot. We always lose the last ship loot.
Very original game: 3/5..but I, as many other people, expect to see some improvements, as this game has so much potential

Lord Nelson of Trafalgar Square who died on board HMS Victory? Ah! Reminds me of one of my favorite novels entitled "VICTORY" by Susan Cooper.

You can stop the camera from zooming in, and if your having trouble with frame rate quality and are being kicked from an online game I have the answer. For zooming in an out, right click on the screen and disable auto quality and auto zoom, YO MUST PRESS BOTH. If your being kicked out of multiplayer games because of low frame rate, right click and go to quality. From there if you were on high, go to medium, or low.

More people should like this game. This is FINALY a historically accurate pirate/navy game. This has 3.86/5 because most people like corny pirate games. This has REAL battles that took place at a REAL time. Also, the game has fabulous graphics! This deserves 4.3/5!

The game has a number of cheaters getting prolong your life, change the path of the boat suddenly (avoiding enemy fire), taking life mysteriously, concentrating shots strangely ...
These cheaters have even alter the counter making XP points amounts impossible to do playing (That happened in the previous multiplayer classification -Global top 10 - which provided the game, not in the KONGREGATE one) ...
The old players, like me, we know each other. We know who plays without cheating and who is a tricky player. The strange thing is that the game, which for a long time does not work in multiplayer mode, continue to allow these tricks.
But hey!, all the naval stories have their pirates, ghosts ships and mysteries...
So my ships: LA HISPANIOLA, EL SAN JUAN and EL GLORIOSO, always have a priority mission: sink the cheaters!!!

An Update with Teambattles ("Eliminate other Team" or "Capture the enemy Flagship") in Multiplayer would be great! Some Fog would make it also deeper in tactic.

does anyone know here master of the secret sea? it is also like this but you can buy upgrades for your ship or buy a new one,trade goods. there are also missions but it has a lot more than this one.

quite good but it would be cooler if you could add more customization such as more cannons, better cannons, armor plating, and sails. also how does a crew member cause your ship to have better durability?

These games made by channel four are completely underrated.They are some of the best games on kongregate.Why do people rate them down?Maybe because the games are educational and they come up with common excuses such as "boring" or "to hard to play".

It is so fu**ing annoying when you play for some time in multiplayer and when you have sth important and have to get off the site, a few seconds later you see this damn text "FRAMERATE TOO LOW" and all your effort to get (let's say) 3000 points turns to ashes...

Not bad, but the multiplayer lagging issue REALLY needs fixing. It's really annoying to land a solid hit on a ship only to see it jump backwards by about half its own length and have the damage you just inflicted undone.

good game +1
good missions and multiplayer +1
but you need do something with the camera and graphics, the game is very slow to load de graphics.
PS: my english is not very good.

I also have a suggestion, Instead of just the compass rose and the dots maybe some form of minimap or directing arrows to loot or an option to look over a map in the pause screen that shows real time locations of the boat and enemy boats? Better stopping abilities would be nice and yes another upgrade system to boot. I mean I love the game it is wonderful in many ways, but it is agreed that it needs some refining.

whenever I exit multiplayer game, I have to refresh the page before I can join a new game. It hangs up on the loading screen.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I want to like this game, I really do. The fact that after some rounds you have to refresh just to get any progress is just...annoying. Couple that with some incredibly buggy PvP actions, it gets frustrating. Fast. "What? I hit that guy with Grapeshot and he got health BACK for it?"

Why can't I write my name in the nickname? My name is Dick but it says it's a naughty word and won't let me write it in. How is my name nau- Wait, oh, you guys mean penis. You are immature, I've gone my whole life being made fun of for that name, and I come here and get mocked too. Screw this game.

@ Retrorocket : Crew member helping durability makes plenty of sense. In the Navy, a lot of stress is put on damage control. In this case, logically the durability can increase by adding a crew member that knows how to plug holes quickly and efficiently as well as put out any fires without hesitation. My question is how does additional crew members (more weight) make a ship's top speed faster!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Great Game! Unfortunately after a while there is nowhere else to go. Upgrades are really limited and after you get a couple of the top crew you just can't improve.

Since the ChannelFour server has fallen for the second time in 4 years, and the multiplayer don't works, we addicts are orphans again....DAMN!!!!

I say for multiplayer you need more maps and you need team deathmatch or something like that. It's fun doing free for all but I'd like it if we had more game modes.

Early tutorial missions need to address the uses of different ammunition types. Or put it in the instructions. I'm left to guess work, sailing around and trying to gauge how my chain shot compares to my regular shot. I know my "Pirates!", a game on which this draws from, so I have some kind of groundwork to build an idea. Still, it's not laid out. Make it so.
