pretty good not a bad game. if youwant the hard badge you only upgrade crew, all the way to max. never buy armor once crew is max go upgrade speed and turning to max. then upgrade reload, cannons and grape shot.
- note - first two rounds kill pirats with no shooting (only crew), then only shoot one shit once to get perfect accuracy from round 3- 10 then just play your ass off and move around fast.
- boss - kill him first or the little ships will not stop coming..

Don't know what all of the complaining is about- cool game, a little too easy in the beginning, but definitely fun to play.

Downgraded my rating... Any game where the optimum strategy for 90% of the time is not to play has serious balance issues. I also don't like the use of 'control' to fire... I need control free to actually use the rest of my computer.

this is pretty easy,just dont shoot,get every crew upgrade and nothing else and sail to the middle at north,u can even do a dump,nothing will happen

-Warlock critically missed and lost his next turn.
-Warlock was critically hit for 357 points in a forceful blow.
-Warlick was killed.

here's something interesting: not shooting gives you 2500 for accuracy, 100% accuracy gives you 1000*level. So don't shoot the first 2 levels, then just fire a couple of shots for the 100% bonus.

@iranaeus. I suspect that the small hunter ships keep coming until you take out the treasure ship. Next time I try level 12 (at Admiral, thank you), I'll be focusing more on the big ship, using evasion and the boarding magnet to avoid excess damage.
I think it's interesting how to succeed you have to make the opposing ships work against each other. Makes it less about brute force.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! I KILLED ALL BUT 2 OF THE SHIPS ON THE LAST LEVEL, LAGGED AND TOOK EVERY SHOT FROM 2 SHIPS!! I HATE MY COMPUTER!!

I find this a horribly hard game. I cant get past lvl 2. This is going to be the first card i will miss since i started kongregate. The game is boring in its self and the only way to win is to spin at each and of the screen and fire at the right time. Of corse, I had no success so maybe it wasnt correct technique. To finish my comment, I think this game really really sucks. 1/5

I finally - finally! - finished this game and got the badge.
The commenters are right that there needs to be better balance between the levels, but all in all it was a great deal of fun, and certainly challenging at the end.
Great game!

Great fun, could do with a bit of variation, islands, forts etc - perhaps a few different ships even - maybe an idea for Prt 2

I actually thought lvl 12 was easier than 11. The first group of ships is pretty weak and some will sink themselves as you slow them down with cannonshot. By the time the big dude shows up, you can beat it by boarding.

And lastly having a bigger is a huge disadvantage as you are shooting at much smaller ships - missing a lot, and being shot by them giving a much higher cannonball concentration, i.e. hit more.

Just got 11 with 195 left. Closed with the last two ships, outnumbered 65 to about 200. Fire cannons like mad to kill their crew as well.

If you get lucky on 11 some of the ships will sink each other and you can board a trailer. Unfortunately I haven't got lucky enough to pass it yet.
The other problem is that the smaller ships have so many points compared to gold you only get a few hundred for sinking a ship that started with 2000 points.

No I didn't, I didn't think I would have to get one. It says something like "you will be remembered as one of the greatest pirates in history"

Really awful that it is easy as can be until Level 11 and then the jump in difficulty is completely stupid.
Should be a slow build to more difficult battles not like it is.
Adjusting my rating down due to this problem.

A decent update of the combat of Sid Mier's Pirates! It was enjoyable, at least until I remembered that Sid Mier had made a -real- update of Pirates, that wasn't so damn buggy.
