Thx for the link. Unfortunately my little experiment wouldn't work. For some reason when I tried to start a game it said it couldn't find any of the empire .emp files. Ah well.
Thought I'd bump this up so we can get more people to sign up for the game. We've only 2 people playing pirates right now. C'mon you know you want to pilfer and hijack !
I've always wondered about something: Pirates need to leech off of other presumably normal-sized neighbors.... But what if everybody wanted to be Pirates? THAT would be a pretty tough game that would take FOREVER to play out.
Everyone won't be pirates. It's set up so that there are 2 normal players. The rest of the players will be vying for resources. whichever pirate player has the most resources at the end of the game wins.
