Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987) чит-файл №2

When fighting a large ship that has you severely outgunned, try to go in for a
sword fight instead of trying to shoot the ship.
                               
The best skills to choose at the start are sword fighting, and navigation.
Sword fighting will make your opponents move more slowly in a sword fight, and
navigation will let your ship travel faster and turn more quickly.

When fighting against unbelievable odds dont panic. Choose the long sword.
Keep using the slash-high attack to cause the most dammage. You may get down
to only one man left, but you can still defeat the enemy captain. After you
win, select send a prize crew so you will have enough people to sail your
ship.

Don't attack a nation your home country is allied with, it will upset both of
them.

Don't wed till you've got all your promotions, your oppurtunities will be much
better. Make conversation with all the governors daughters, however, they
might gather important information for you from the governors mansion.
