New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!
This is one of the greatest video games ever! We need 2nd remaster of this masterpiece.
I agree, I love this game. Played it so many times!
Indeed. There isn't a game that I have played more than this or would rather have a remaster made of.
It really is great! Could use some tweaks but a wonderful game. Never played the original when it was out, but did play Machiavelli the Prince, which shares a ton of similarities and I had a blast playing as a kid.
I'd love if the mini games had more variety. Barring that, the added dancing mini game should be either shorter or optional.
no we need a new instance of it. Less cartoony?
Could you imagine Sea of Thieves graphics with Sid Meiers content. Krehgasm
I literally nutted 6 times after reading this.
That would easily be the best pirate game ever
They need to remake the remake ASAP!
+TheUnholyHandGrenade Highly agree, I believe a will done pirate game would sell bundles of copies, I know I would be first in line.
I sence remake-seption
Then play ac pirates on iOS
+Andreas Scott - that was what i thought too.. keep the game mechanics (land battles, sacking cities, marriage and so forth) but make the sea battles/swordfights look like in black flag... after i played black flag i actually started playing pirates again and it would be awesome if the make a remake with upto-date graphics...
In my opinion the best pirate game at the moment is Blood and Gold: Carribbean!
Bah. Ship combat is easy. The real challenge in this game is dancing. That was a good addition to the game.
So true.
no the true challenge is deciphering those damn maps! i just finished a playthrough and got cheated out of a perfect score because the map literally had an X on it and "in the vicinity of gran granada" which is a HUGE area btw.
Yes it is a miserable pain in the ass LOL
The dancing made me wish there was a rape option in the game.
Especially on PC I just bought it on PC and on a modern keyboard a lot of keys don’t work, so I’m kinda just having to click the tabs and it’s really hard. But the Pc version is sadly was superior to the Xbox my original version. Playing it again it really still has its charm. I wish they’d make a new one but they’d just ruin it with over complication and micro transactions
I fall drunk sleep while watching Arumba and when I woke up at 4am this video was playing
I remember playing this on the psp when I was young and had no idea what I was doing... Such nostalgia.
this game is the best game i ever played growing up
I agree!
7.8/10 IGN.

Neville Bamshoot right
Funnily enough, there is a pirate game named "Blood and Gold: Caribbean!" which uses a nearly identical engine and game system as all other Mount&Blade games. I had wondered about the legality of them using that engine, however it seems that the members of the team had previously worked on M&B: WF&S in their time with Snowberry Connection. Don't get your hopes up though, "Blood and Gold: Caribbean!" isn't what I'd call a magnum opus of the Mount&Blade series. It's mostly bland and rough-around-the-edges; The only thing it has going for it is proper musket-play. The most excitement I had from it were the assassination contracts, in which you rent a room just above the streets, waiting patiently for your mark to trott past you as you fire your single shot- hoping to land it perfectly. Although, I can say that the economic simulation is more in depth than any other M&B game I've played. The real issue I have is the fact that it's essentially just a M&B mod for $20 and that it's quality is fairly worse compared to the myriad of beautifully diverse game-worlds which have been created with the M&B engine. Given that it's $4 on the Steam Summer Sale right now, I'd buy it if you want a complete set of M&B games. Whilst I know it is not an official entry, it uses the exact same engine and game systems and was developed by previous developers of M&B: WF&S, so I consider it a M&B game or at least a spin-off.
This is one of the first games that I bought and stayed up for probably 24 hours playing. I just could not stop.
Fun Fact: Sid Meier has based all of his games on his favorite books, movies and TV series he has known since his youth. PIRATES ! is based on Daniel Defoe: The Adventures of Captain Singleton.; the author of Robinson Crusoe Most of the Hollywood Pirate movies were also based on this classic. The major melody in the game is an old Chanty called SPANISH MAIN ( = another name for the Carabean Sea )
I loved this game so much growing up. I bought it out of a scholastic catalog in middle school and I was ADDICTED
This game was my childhood, and now one of my favorite TH-camrs is playing it! This is going to be great.
wow the voiceacting is great in this game!
Why fix what isn't broken I say!
Better than the God of War series, that's for sure.
you need to yous proper gramer
Sory

Man, I used to LOVE this game. Such a solid piece of work.
*I'm from the future, The Game still has not released a remaster or 2nd addition, we are very angry.*
One of my favorite games of all time as well, it's a crime there hasn't been a sid mier's pirates 2 or another remake
The funniest thing you can do is turn every port's allegiance to Dutch when playing with 1560 as you starting era. The Netherlands were still part of the Spanish Empire until 1581.
However this version doesn't seem to have 1560: The Silver Empire as an option.
+MisterTutor2010 And, from what I've read, you couldn't pick the Dutch in 1560 in the original version, anyway.
+Kahran042 You can play as a Dutch Pirate but when you can turn a port you conquered Dutch, which effectively makes the Dutch a part of the game after that point.
the game starts at 1600 minimum
@@CiceroFMYT yeah the 80 years war was waged by the Dutch to free themselves from Spain. This was around the time the Hapsburgs ruled Spain as well.
As good as the game is, it really, really needs an HD patch.
Nah if you like the game you can see over it, and graphics arent that bad
***** .. I can't even comprehend dumb of this magnitude. The game needs an HD patch. HD as in the bloody resolution!
It doesn't support modern resolutions or rations...
Mansen i play the game in 19:6 resolution- just dont ask me where i got that version from ^^
cino scarpia I hope for your own sake you meant to say 16:9 - And it's not the only standard on the market now. It doesn't do FullHD or anything near it.
It needs a patch - not the hacks we are currently forced to use.
Mansen oops, yeah of course i meant that xD
The start:"Which ship to use?"
Find Henry Morgan. Take his Large Frigate. Profit until you get Ship of the Line :D
What happens if i pirate this game?
Your computer will explode because of pirate-ception
It's good enough to deserve some money spent.
if you pirate this game you'll gain high infamy with Spain, but who cares about Spain anyway.
rickardspaghetti Anything someone else made deserves some money, if you're taking it.
Pirates are ultimately the reason TH-cam is up everone's ass for little stuff, like putting up Let's plays, or for playing seven seconds of a game's soundtrack. People who pirate games fuck it up for everyone else.
And yes, OP, I know that *you* were just kidding.
rickardspaghetti Seems that Steam hates Serbia so the only thing i can do is pirate it :/
why oh why doesn't sid make Pirates 2!?
crgzero well, that’s what happens when you deal with the devil.
I remember playing this game for hours. Sid Meier was the best game designer.
I used to play the genesis gold version with my dad when i was a little kid and i remember how much fun i had. It's a really sentimental game for me, and i played the shit out of the remake on pc, and my dad and i both separately perfected the game on swashbuckler, amazing fun, definitely one of my top games ever. It's such a genuine and adventurous experience start to finish, a whole different breed from most games today.
Technically, chain-shot is for *masts* not sails. The idea being that when you shoot them, the shot whips around and tears the shit out of the masts causing them to become unstable and fall over. This completely immobilizes the ship and requires the construction of an entirely new mast as opposed to just ripping holes in the sailcloth, which is easily patched. The only way to move a demasted ship is to tow it with either rowboats or another ship.
Well, since sail damage and losing a mast are part of the same damage track, it's all good.
As an additional bonus, if you miss, you'll slow them down due to their sail being full of holes now.
Actually ... chain shot is used against the rigging, because you cant use sails if your rigging is stuck or cut.
Some ships actually had large oars for just that purpose. The vikings did this as well as a few merchant ships using them at the time.
Fun fact. The main French tactic was to use chain and langridge to dismast the enemy. The British was ball and, later grape, to damage the hull and crew.
Wow I remember playing this when I was young, takes me back!
Man this game soundtrack is amazing, I remember looking through the music files for my copy just to listen to it.
I love that he is taking full pulls of dark room from a beer mug. lol
I played this in the 80's.
I still play it today.
Also Lords of the realm 2.
Both great games.
Van Eighteen... really Quill? :( It should have been Achtien
Totally
Achttien*
And what's with the capital v?
Quill van Achttien
Growl wn
Oh,you mean that one Territory in France?
Or that dutch one?
The german one perhaps?
Just to let everyone know, Quill is French-Canadian from what I know, He isn't Belgian but I can see why hes fond of the Belgians, They make nice Waffles :D
At the beginning of the year i thought to myself of starting a youtube channel to primarily release a Sid Meiers Pirates lets play amongst other older games. But my schedule never allowed it so glad to see someone playing it on youtube.
Also I am a Sloop then find a Sloop of War or a Royal Sloop sort of guy too for flagship
I ve played this game on the C64 a lot!! Great video!!!!!
I haven't watched the whole video yet but here are some comments regarding Quill's decisions and his own comments(you are still my favorite youtuber so don't worry): 1. Choosing Dutch does give you more targets, but it is also harder to capture towns and board enemy ships. The Dutch, at some period of time, only have 1 town and 1 settlement, the town is one of the wealthiest and the most prosperous town in the whole Caribbean archipelago and so is the settlement. But what does that mean exactly you might ask. Well that means, other nations won't have a lot to gain by declaring war on the Dutch so wars are rare, on the other hand, there are only one town and one settlement separating the Dutch from survival or total annihilation, so wars may be more frequent. It also means the townsfolk will be satisfied and they won't have any wishes for a better life, decreasing the amount of recruits you can recruit. And you need a lot of recruits to storm other strong towns. With so few enemies or so many enemies the player faces the risk of getting less promotions or keep losing to overwhelming numbers of enemies. 2. Quill did not explain difficulty settings quite right. Yes opponents become more cunning and tactical in sea battles, faster and better at swordfighting, opponent's armies get cavarly and cannons in land battles and basicaly everything gets harder yet more rewarding. But with every difficulty level more and more features are added to the game, when starting a swordfight you can choose what type if weapon you will choose (journeyman) and new dances are introduced etc. (I was writting this on mobile device so please forgive my mistakes and spelling ones too as English is far from my second language). Thank you for reading !
Oh and now that I have reached the naval battle part of video, fighting enemy crew head to head is far from neccesary. You can: 1. Completely destroy enemy ship 2. Destroy their sails making them impossible to move and just ripe to harvest, or in this case finish off or board 3. Kill all their crew and thus make them surrender 4. Kill most of their crew and then ram them thus making them surrender. 5. Being a great sea devil figting with ship as skillful as with sword making their morale waiver and thus making them surrender or 5. Dirrectly boarding them, or weaken them before that and then board them, duel with their captain and then either seize the ship and cargo or sink them to the bottom of the sea.
"Fifty Shades of Pirate"... you had to go there! :)
I can totally get on board (LOLZ) with more Let's play: Pirates, Quill!!!
I so loved this game. C64, baby. Paper map and all.
It would be hilarious if England and Holland were at war between 1689 and 1702 in the game since William of Orange is both Stadtholder of Holland and King of England as William III :)
My favorite game of all time. Every incarnation and I'm looking forward to another one.
Man, you have grown to become my absolute favourite TH-camr! Thank you sir.
loved this game when I bought it on the original Xbox. Played the hell out of it. Duels were my favorite lol
One of my favorite classic games that I played a lot.
One of my favorites of all time. (This and Seven Cities of Gold)... I had no idea there was a remake.
I prefered Heart of Africa over Seven Cities of Gold, but it still was a great game.
Best TH-camr! He cares so much about his viewers and subscribers. He plays a lot of different games, some I wouldn’t play myself but love to watch be played by him. Keep up the good work. The day you stop making vids is the day I stop watching gaming on TH-cam
A huge fan of Microprose/Sid Meier games. Missed this one. Just got it for the Wii and having a blast with it even when I haven't got a clue what the hell to do.
Man I had this on PC loved it so much! I went to a pawn shop and found the NES and Genesis copy and bought both!
You got me again Quill 'ol buddy. I am traversing the seas in my large Frigate hunting the Ship of the Line. For the first time ever I started going to higher difficulties that took away all my tips for dancing and fighting.. surprising myself by doing pretty well.
I used to play this game non-stop on the original NES.
I used to play this on the genesis as a kid!! As an older kid I bought a genesis on eBay and this game just to relieve the thrill....
I can give you some real smart game play tips: First you need to find war canoes because they travel extremely fast and you can catch any ship. Time is of the essence and i pretty much did everything in less than 2 years in gametime. Barometer and cotton sail are also important. Find a mysterious traveller who sells you a map of your family members. Your family members will either pop up anywhere between Gibraltar and Cumana, or Santiago and Santo Domingo. Make sure you buy a map from places nearby. If the part of the map shows water than you can figure out in what places to look. Puerto Cabello always has family members so the best thing to do is sail in this area to find all 4 quickly. Your last family member gives you the whereabouts of Montalban. Dance with one of the ladies for the lost city map and you're ready to sail west. Montalban's hideout or all the lost cities are anywhere between Gran Granada and Villa Hermosa or Campeche. Conquer these cities so you can dance with the ladies in order to get new maps. Be smart and do everything on foot instead of sailing. Walking from Campeche all the way to Granada takes about 2 months... sailing takes a lot longer than that. You can find your family and all cities in about 2 years. Another tip is to conquer cities so you can appoint a governor. If you picked english and attacked a spanish city than keep appointing governors anything besides english. You will get a promotion, leave the city, attack and appoint another governor. You will reach all 8 ranks of all countries pretty fast.
exactly. everyone wants a ship of the line but on higher difficulties you need a pinace to beat the game before you age too far
By the bye, Grog was a mixture of Rum and Lime juice, instigated by Admiral Grogram of the Royal Navy to ensure the sailors got enough vitamin C and therefore ward off scurvy!
That's also why British people are sometimes nicknamed Limeys!
i still go back and play it even now . played hours upon hours in it and its ancestor . than was when they made real games
played this game back in the mid 80's on the Apple IIGS. I played it so much it cost me my girlfriend! Glad it's back. Now to give my wife the bad news.
The only thing I remember clearly about Pirates! is the sharp contrast between how fun the "dancing" sequences are, and pretty much everything else in the game.
I remember watching my dad play this game when I was a kid, and when I was old enough to understand how to play he set me up on it. I could not get enough of this game. Sadly I have misplaced the disc, but seeing this makes me want to repurchase.
I have missed this game I used to play it so much when I was younger
El Morro in San Juan was never captured by Caribbean pirates. One of my favorite places... Puerto Rico!
Hell yeah, Sid Meier's Pirates. This was my fuckin jam back in the day.
This game was a HUGE part of my childhood. Funny, my dad got this game on the same night my school was doing a pirate themed play. x3
Dutch Governor-"On Tadeta"! IIIIIII'M LUBRICATED!
I only knew the Nintendo game Pirates back then, but it was in my top 10 of all-time, for sure!!! This game has many of the same things, but the story is different.
Dude this brings up memories.
I like how he checks if he is correct.

Played it like 10 years ago.
Those east winds always got to my nerves pretty much. Also didn't like the week of time spent in a port.
In all it was pretty fun. I got some good dance moves out of it ^^
The NES version I have many fond memories of playing when I was a kid, the PC update was just as fun.
21:00 he finally gets on with it.
An awesome game that I havent played for a long long time. Great to see a Lets play of it.
This must be the game i saw when i was a kid and i went to my cousin's friend's house because of a birthday party and i saw them playing this ship warfare game on their old windows xp pc, it looked so fun and i was hooked into it, those were the days where ps3 was the new release and psp was also the best gaming console ever, ohh the memories
Aw man this is so fun to watch
This is definately in my top 5 all time games.
man i miss this game. i had it on my moms mobile phone so long ago and i always played it. i have been trying to find it for so long. but then i just went on steam and looked for pirates because i wanted a pirate game. then this came up and it looked familiar. so i went on youtube and searched on it and saw this then i saw a second of the first cutscene in this video and now i will immediately buy it again for pc.
Queen Ann's revenge is the best ship in the game. Lots of guns, and really fast.
Lemming Herder actually the ship of the line is a superior frigate.
This is just great for a quiet night watch !
I completed the original back in the late eighties. Great game.
I said it's a great game!
Im looking fut a very similar game. It was launched before 2000. It was settled in central america. You could play as a pirate or corsair, and select one of four nationalities: french, spaniard, dutch or portuguese. You had one ship and you needed to travel between ports to achieve your mission. Inside the ship it was 1st person, but in towns it was kinda 'click a building to go there'. Sometimes, dialogs pops, teaching you history about towns, and the life of a pirate.
Holy shit this is one of my favorite games me and my dad love it expecting great things from this!
i also love this game and it never occured to me that mount and blade borrowed a lot from the town menu from this game.
you basically have the same options like visit the tavern etc
Just learned this now. Cool thanks!
I always got Letters of Marque right off the bat, attacked a few random pirates, got initial promotions for all four countries, then started my anti-Spanish campaign.
I used to play this on the wii all the time so lets see how much better quil is at the game
Back when video games had quality content and weren't rushed money grabs aimed at kids who steal their parents credit cards
I remember my brother playing this when I was little. What a great game! :)
Love this game! Klicked as soon as I saw it in my sub box!
I will follow this series to death!
Fantastic game! I am seriously considering buying this...
Awesome! This is one of my favourite games ever, and I missed the livestream.
Watched this playthrough years ago, rewatching because I was trying to think of game I want to mess around with in RTX Remix. I forgot how good this game aged
Quill your simply playing it wrong skill at fencing and a war canoe is all you need and the number 4 that is
Did you watch Spiffing Brits Vid?
Oh man I remember playing this game so much! This is going to be great!
loved this game on NES
You pretty much just inspired me to get this game after I googled "Best PC Pirate Games". Thankfully this video came up, I added a game to my account and a subscription to your channel.
One of my fav games of all time. :)
Don’t sell the ships. You keep attacking until the navy comes after you. They will come in huge ships but only 3 or 4 at first. I can’t remember what they’re called. If you get 10 frigates you can beat it. Then you capture those ships and get a navy of your own. Eventually you can end up stronger than all countries on your own.
We want Sid Meier's Pirates HD remastered edition now!
your 1st mistake was at 18:50, never welcome additional crew unless going into a specific swordfight battle. The more men you have in your crew, the faster your unhappiness increases and the sooner you must "divide the plunder" in port. And, the lower your score. Youl need to operate with few crew on board to make the dueling challenging and get a real score if your interest in learning pirates for real. The ultimate challenge and best part of the game is attacking a colony in force with a tiny band and bending its nation allegiance to fit your current game.
"Fifty Shades Of Pirate", well said. "Pirates" was awesome, maybe I should get the newer version.
Nice to see someone play this well, unlike myself
+Nathan 'Bunny Bones' Ternan Feel you
quill an blade kicking ass and taking names
oh my goooooooooooood this game was my childhood
Ohhh... I miss this game.
I MISS THESE GAME SO MUCH 😭😭💔
This seems like a great game. Its great how join in the game with quill via the people pole.
