About

Embark on a journey to the core of the Caribbean during the Pirate’s Golden Age! In this time ripe with possibilities, brave outlaws are on the hunt for riches across the vast oceans. Roving pirates, sailing under the cover of dark sails, plunder Spanish galleons laden with treasures from the New World, while daring privateers, armed with their “letters of marque,” exploit war profits at the behest of their powerful benefactors.

In the heart of a ruthless environment is found the Republic of Pirates, a potent union of pirate factions united by their common beliefs, aspirations, and ethical standards. Initially, the confederacy flourished, but as time passed, discord and envy seeped in among its members, ultimately leading to a violent uprising and a tragic disintegration marked by bloodshed.

Aim to restore your father’s heritage and punish those who betrayed you unfairly. Start from a small base and transform it into a vast settlement by putting money into production facilities to establish an independent economy. Employ the underground network for trading valuable assets, thereby increasing the riches of your pirate populace. Gather valiant captains and lead a formidable navy in real-time as you set sail on quests of dominance. Liberate islands, vanquish adversaries, and manage intricate political alliances with influential powers of the era.
