Ignoring the topic, how is that game? I always had an interest in it but never played it.

I didn't spend more than 30 mins with it. Combat is you sailing circles around your opponent trying to get your broadside facing them so most of your cannons hit on target. There's a big map with lots of ships and cities moving around, you return to port to sell loot and good and repair your ship, yadda yadda. It's probably fun in the short term, but I felt kind of underwhelmed by what the game offered, especially considering who made it.

You felt underwhelmed with conquering the Carribean for your faction?

It felt strategy-lite. For Sid Meyers, that's kind of underwhelming, yes. The graphic style also makes the game look like a Disney cartoon. In playing I felt like it was a game marketed to kids, pirate-themed, and didn't really suck me in at all.

The guild and the guild 2 are close, but not exactly like the sims

The starting character is grown up, but if they have kids, they can send them off to various schools, then play as them after they age-up

Crusader Kings, if your father dies leaving you the king of a mass of unruly lords when you're only 3 years old. Pretty good in terms of character development.

I know there has been a bunch of posts for it already, but Princess Maker 2 is a really good game and worth a look.

Funny, considering Disney made a live-action movie instead.
Besides, I always just ram the enemy ship in a Sloop. Heck, even when gunning them down, a fast Sloop wins, simply because it's fast enough to close within range of any other ship.
