How do you score? Message-ID: Date: 1 Mar 91 11:57:04 GMT Sender: news@dutrun.UUCP Lines: 18 At the moment I am playing Pirates! again and it seems to me that it is biased towards bothering the enemy and obtaining rank. In my current game I tried to rob etc. only the Spanish and to be friendly to the rest. This got me a Dutch and English captaincy, but my health got so bad that I can divide up the plunder just once again and then I have to go into forced retirement. So I save the game a lot and do a lot of trading. I have now about 100.000 gold and I rate as an extremely import member of society and a rather wealthy men. However I only become a Major, which is a score of 32 in 100. What do I have to do, besides plundering lots of enemies, to become a rich merchant or land owner in a relatively peaceful manner? I play in the latest era. -- Frits Kuijlman frits @ duttnph.tudelft.nl Delft University of Technology The Netherlands
