Btw, does anyone know how to speed up things in land-battles? It takes one hell of a long time for a group to move

Chose a start location that has lots of open plains and not cover; all your units move 2 spaces. That is the only way to get the battle over with quickly. Yeah, land combat is the slowest aspect of the game.

Henry Morgan & Captain Kidd Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Has anybody seen these guys. I can't locate them. They're the only 2 Legendary Pirates I haven't vanquished, and that's because I can't find them.
Also, any word on the Treasure Fleet. I keep getting the clues that it is headed for Puerto Bello, but when I get there, nothing. I'll sail for months around that port then head for Santa Marta or Rio de la Hacha and get yet another clue that it is headed for Puerto Bello. What gives???

From other forums threads I've heard that Morgan and Kidd are highly elusive and the Tresure Fleet even more so. It seems like they made them difficult to catch so when you do, it becomes quite a story .

Strange assumption, if I had the game I wouldn't be asking, I would probably be playing! I doesn't seem to be that much of a difference from the old game so I don't think I would even need a manual.

I also noticed that your girlfriend has HUGE... tracks of land...

No, I'm talking about the animation... it takes about 5-10 sec just to move a "unit" one spot, and you have to wait for all people in a unit to stop the animation before you can move the next unit...

In my first game, I found Morgan NW of Santa Catalina near mainland Central America. Was really in the middle of nowhere really... Can't remember where I found Kidd, but it was early on in my game

Kropotkin,

Specialists

Carpenter--Makes repairs to hull while still at sea.

Sailmaker--Repairs sails while still at sea.

Cooper--Preserves ships food, allowing crew to travel farther on less food.

Gunner--Trains crew to fire broadsides more rapidly. Double ship's rate of fire.

Surgeon--Heals crewmen wounded in battle.

Navigator--Increases fleet speed at all points of sailing.

Quatermaster--Enforces discipline at sea. A well disciplined crew is less likely to desert or mutiny.

Cook--Prepares meals at sea. Helps keep crew's morale up.

The only way to recruit specialists is by capturing one from another ship that has one or defeat Montalban and get all 8 from him.

That is not true. I had a C-64 and you could tell how pretty the Governor's daughters were.

This is interesting. It appears a little bit of spyware snuck its way onto my computer. The word "travel" in the Gunner description is grey text with a green underline. It's hyperlinked to some search engine I've never heard of. search.information.com

Isn't that just the same thing as if you write SC3000 (or was it SC3K)... Isn't this some forum software that does this, since I've only seen it happen here? And I see the word travel as a link too...

I use both Adaware and SpybotS&D and they do a bang-up job of keeping my computer clean. Clearly, this is some nefarious Greek plot.

Nah. It's just Muad'Dib messin' with ya. Try quoting ADG's and his post. You can see that SC3000 appears in plain text, which means that the link is created on the fly by the forums. The word travel, however, is surrounded by all the HTML. Besides, if it was a greek plot, then it would be so for everyone. But then when I say travel, travel is not underlined. Neither is it when you say travel. Travel. Hey you never know. (travel) Maybe it only happens (travel) sometimes.

PS: travel
