I´ve been playing a GC as Portugal, I am in 1580´s and I am the only nation with trade and colonial interests in India... Pirates pop up regularly around the coast...and guess who brings boats all across the ocean, in voyages that take years, without any port to resupply, just to protect my comercial interests?
Spain, France and England...and I suppose the Dutch will pop up to when they get the chance
Now if that isn´t a helping hand
...
bottom line: It is good that the colonial powers wage active anti piracy war...but they should only do it to protect their trading interests, if they are not losing money they shouldn´t waste precious resources...
BTW: whoever is out there reading this and hasn´t bought the game...you can dream and read about it, I know I did
, but there is nothing like the real thing...by the way in this game you don´t want to play just the next turn, there is no next turn, you just fall asleep on the keyboard thinking 'I should have saved and gone to bedddd......'
