Meeting the governor's daughter in Sid Meier's Pirates! |
The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and myself. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.

I finally managed to capture a level 2 fort and also completed a mission where I had to go save Blackbeard's AAAAAARRRRrse (it wasn't me! My wife came up with the pun, honest! ;)). Before starting the mission, the game recommended I upgrade my ship and after getting impatient with grinding the requisite gold and materials to improve my ship, I ended up ignoring the warning and doing the mission anyway. It turns out the mission wasn't as difficult as I expected since I managed to sneak past all the ships and found my way to Blackbeard without being detected. So thankfully, I could ignore the warning about upgrading my ship for this mission, I just hope I'm as lucky in the future.

I love it how each side in the game has its own theme and I still find the Simlish equivalent that the characters speak, hilarious (apparently saying "TESSSST???" actually means something – it's definitely not the voice actor testing his microphone).
I'm progressing well with the main storyline having rescued three of my relatives and I also know where Marquis de la Montalban's secret hideout is. What I can't believe is how spry Montalban is for an old man. Despite my character only being in his 20s, Montalban can often beat me to the thrust!
I've also managed to woo a "beautiful" Dutch governor's daughter, in fact there are three levels of attractiveness would you believe: "plain", "attractive" and "beautiful" and it seems there is a strong correlation between attractiveness and the size of their *ahem* assets.
