From Sid Meier, award winning creator of the Civilization® series.

"Inevitably, you start off as a nobody and work your way up to a fleet-owning, governor's daughter wooing, treasure-rich pirate of such repute you can moisten a bar wench from clear across the tavern. Too much open-endedness can be bad thing and there's a story to add purpose and closure. As a boy your family's last-ditch investment goes down instead of up and your kin is 'pressed in to bondage' by an evil creditor. You escape and ten years just fly by: on turning 18 you head for the waves to track down your scattered family, wreak vengeance and sink a lot of passing boats."

"As you progress to Journeyman and then Adventurer difficulties, a little planning becomes necessary, but controlling your ships couldn't be simpler. Sail close to another vessel and you can choose to attack. Or not… if you have far fewer guns and men it's best not to engage, and you're quite a long way in before they start attacking you. Happily there's more to it than comparing numbers, and a little cunning can see you beat far better-equipped ships, which you can then plunder for goods."
