romulus16: Always wanted to know how much does Sea Dogs compare to it's sequel Sea Dogs 2 (Or as its officially called Pirates of the Caribbean lol)
Telika: Unfortunately I haven't played the sequel. I wouldn't be surprised if the sequel was technically better, but, Sea Dogs has the advantage (for me) of not being related to Disney, "Pirates of the Caribbean", and zombie ghosts stories. It's a more neutral universe, and as such, it's closer to Sid Meier's Pirates (even though it doesn't take place in an actual archipelago).
I love pirates (I collect historical books about XVIIIth century piracy, as a hobby), and I didn't like the disney movies at all. So, when I look for pirate games, I prefer those who are just based on historical piracy, and not on one specific commercial fantasy universe featuring pirates...
All I can say is that Sea Dogs had its flaws, such as empty ship decks (I heard you can see the crew on it, in the sequel) and annoying counter-intuitive swordfights (a bit similar to Quest of Glory's, if I remember well, but more tedious). It was still pretty magnificent, though.
I may have to give it a look then thank you :) ... I cant rememebr the sowrd fights being too painful in the sequel I must say (Although I think I was in primary school/early high school when I last played it so the memory is quite hazy... )
