Century of Pirates

Do you know what knipple shot is?

Did you hear the sails burst under the shots of case-shots, and the snapping of ship's boards when they right against each other? Did you feel the heaviness of Aztec gold in your hands and the breath of saber slipped in the inch of your ribs? Did you see how rage in the eyes of your enemy changes into the emptiness of death? How the wind smells after the broadside of 30 cannons, and the smell of blood on the deck of captured ship?
Did you ever felt the taste of victory -- when ship's company of 30 filibusters boards fully laden Spanish galleon?

No? Then you have an opportunity to know!

The year 1647, the Caribbean Sea basin. Huge, but starting to weaken, Spanish Empire, finishing the conquest of South America, increase it's strength with the gold of killed Indians. England, pretending on the role of leading sea power, and ambitious France fight with Spain for treasures of both Americas. Caribbean islands are the arena for this fight; the place, where new colonies born; the scene for puzzling political intrigues, plunder and violence never seen by the world. Tortuga and Port Royal go down in history as a capitals of filibuster's states; states of pirates of Caribbean Sea, murderers and brigands, but and heroes too.
In the time when determined man with a brave squad can get untold wealth in a one bloody night, and pirates take supper with kings, young man comes to the Caribbean islands to gain glory and riches. We don't really know if he succeeds -- his name was not held in history -- but you know that.

Because he, is you.

It is you, who will rent ships and command flotillas, captain boarding and dueling with other captains, drink in taverns with murderers and cutthroats, look for pirate's treasures in the jungles, kiss governor's daughters and storm cities. It is you, who'll get the collection of scars, titles and lands -- or, as all pirates, find your end in embrace of Sea Devil.
It is you who will chose his part in this war, chose the ships to plunder, chose the place to die -- in your own bed on your own island, in a dirt doss-house or, as a real pirate -- die in the sea, of enemy's sword or bullet.

Are you ready? Century of pirates is waiting for you!
