Questions about Pirates

[Since1971]

I know I am not going crazy. I decided it was time to learn how to really play Pirates. I mean, how bad could the game really be Anyway, I was rereading the instructions and I noticed there was a way of just playing against the computer. I went back intot he instructions to try it and now I can't find where I read it. Is it still possible to play against the computer? I thought playing against the computer would help me be able to play against a real person.

You can play against the computer on ship battle, but not capture the flag. To do that, start a game, and then double click on each of the other 7 blank spaces (or however many computer-controlled ships you want to play with) and for each one, a window will open letting you choose which type of ship you want it to be. Then you can start the game.

One thing to keep in mind about playing against the computer ships - you don't get near the amount of credits that you do against real players.

And when you need to play for a quest, you must play against real players for the quest to recognize the game.

And the computer controlled ships are much harder to beat!
