The most I can get plundering ships is 8000 and thats from spanish treasure fleet with 3 ships.
Any tips?

That kept it interesting.

I mean I started a game on Friday because it was the only thing that’d work on the jalopy piece of shit computer I’d taken with me to Leicester, and a week later I’ve sunk twelve hours into the bloody thing.

(And you can play it on laptops without numpads, you just have to go through an .ini file and manually redefine every single key in every single minigame. This takes a while.)

Also, I do love this game for the reasons you say. The minigames aren’t really treated as minigames which means they aren’t made distinct and isolated.
