Ports (and other visitable locations if available) are also visible on the Sailing Map at their correct locations, and sailing into these will trigger the Port Interaction menu (or take you directly into the port, depending on version and circumstances).Įncounters with enemy ships also occur on the Sailing Map. Making contact with land will trigger Overland Travel, creating a shore party and altering the behavior of the Sailing Map screen accordingly. The visible area of the map shows the ocean and land. The visible portion of the Caribbean will move together with the Flagship, so that the area shown on the screen is always centered (or mostly centered) on the Flagship. Using very basic controls, the player can turn his Flagship left and right, and it moves forward automatically at a speed that depends on its heading relative to the wind. Visually, the Sailing Map differs from one version of the game to another, but some basic principals hold true for all versions: The screen shows a portion of the Caribbean, about a hundred miles wide, with the player's Flagship shown at its current location. Instead of simply choosing a destination for the Fleet, the player is required to actually navigate across the Caribbean from one point to another, using the simple interface called the "Sailing Map". Pirates! is in part a strategy game, where the player needs to make decisions regarding where to go and what to do.
