Lets Play: Sid Meier's Pirates!
« on: May 16, 2009, 06:35:59 pm »

A lets play of Pirates!: Live The Life! We embark on an epic journey of stealing shit on the high seas as we court the daughters of governators, get chased by the U.S navy pirate hunters, combat famous pirates, steal said pirates treasure and illegally download games/songs! oh and there's also this sub plot of rescuing your family from this Spanish dude. but that's not important. I'll ask you guys to vote on some of my actions and also to do the following:
vote on a name for our flagship
name our captain
vote on our captains special skill
vote on which nations crew to first sign up on (then later mutiny and take their ship)
request to add ships to our fleet (I'll only accept to have four ships of your request at a time because more ships slow your fleet down)
Request what ship you want our flagship to end up as.

I'll probably think up more for you to do along the way, but that's about it.

Well, I think you should name the flagship Boatmurdered, take the gunnery skill. the ship should be a sloop, as a fast ship can run...er, sail around bigger ones (unless the game machanics don't work that way)

Get a brig. Sailing against the wind is extremely useful.

Yarrgh!

I like "Boatmurdered". It is relevant to the forum and manages to almost make sense in context while still retaining a whiff of WTF.

She shall be captained by the dread pirate Le Fromage!

Who should be skilled at medicine. I'll retire when I damn well say I retire!

Although it would be funny to make a captain with a funny French name and then make him some other nationality, he should be French because France has a decent series of bases to use and...

We need a frigate, which is probably easiest to capture from the English. Not only is "frigate" a really fun word to say, frigates are the only big ships worth a damn, and big ships make storming major ports sooooooo much more practical. (We'll need to collect a couple of smaller ships too, of course.)

I love this game

I'd say name the ship Morning Star, can't think of a good pirate name.

Annoy someone enough to get a Ship of the Line and make that and a Sloop your flagships

Start with anyone but Spain to get an early start on SOTL capturing.

Ship name: Boatmurdered
Captain: Ironblood beard
Cap skill: Courtship
Ship: Frigate
Nationality: Spanish
Other ships: All pinnaces

 Quite frankly, this is the only way of doing it. We must have one stupidly inefficient skill.
 Unless courtship is a game-breaker, I say we use it.

sorry but i really don't want to go through all the trouble of getting a ship of the line. it takes years and you would need to devote your entire time to looking for one to ever get one.

Oh boy, I call Covert Action!  Who's gonna do Railroad Tycoon?

I have never played this game so I have nothing constructive to add.

 I call Roller Coaster Tycoon. I can't even remember how I got pro at it, so that should be fun.

Oh man, I'd do Railroad Tycoon 3 except I lost one of the discs ages ago and I couldn't be bothered to find it or pirate it or buy it again.

Maybe I'll do a Dark Avatar LP to make up for it. Also I put in another vote for skill at medicine. A true pirate cannot be stopped by such mundane things as 'aging!'
