Pirates, as I understood the term, were sailors who attacked other ships on the high seas, for GOLD... arrrr....

And pirates sometimes got together and attacked towns from their ships, then landed and took the town's GOLD... arrr...

Now someone explain to me what Pirates are doing PROTECTING towns and the town's gold? I think Disney's lost their marbles somewhere, or none of them had a healthy childhood, pretending to board ships, then land on lonely islands and bury treasure. Eye patches were a must also.

I'm sure science and genetic engineering in the future will allow for purple people, tiny and big people, muscle and skill enhancements etc., but pirates lived in 1740, not 2140. And I somehow doubt pirates acquired genetic altering potions by playing computer puzzles, but I didn't live back then, so I might be wrong here...

And... does it occur to anyone else besides me that they didn't put these cannons inside the actual game because they are trying to AVOID coding for the actual game?
