Republic of Pirates is a pirate themed city builder where we decide to set up a little piratey settlement in order to help us with something very piratey indeed... revenge!

It turns out that the Republic of Pirates turned on our Father and sent him down to Davy Jones' locker, so we want to build up our own little settlement so we can fight back against them.

We begin by sailing our boat around a little in search of a good island to call home, picking up useful goodies along the way, including doubloons! Hooray for excitingsounding doubloons!

Once we find an island we begin building all those very familiar things; homes, a woodcutter, a plankery, a fishery, all that kind of stuff. Rope is apparently a very important thing for the pirate economy so we have to grow some hemp to turn into rope.

We meet a new friend who joins us in our fight against the Republic but things don't go well when we're attacked by an enemy pirate, "Lucky" Jack! We then have to rebuild our fleet of ships, which we need to make sails for, and go to another island to defeat some other pirates.

Set sail to the heart of the Caribbean and the Golden Age of Piracy! In this era of opportunity, intrepid freebooters seek their fortune upon the high seas, blacksailed marauders prey upon Spanish treasure ships returning from the New World, and opportunistic privateers, emboldened by their ‘letters of marque’ reap the profits of war from their influential patrons.

At the centre of this cutthroat world lies the Republic of Pirates, a powerful league of pirate clans bound together by their shared ideology, ambitions, and code of honour. But while the early days of the confederacy were prosperous, greed and jealousy soon began to spread amongst its members culminating in a vicious mutiny and a final bloody breakup.

Set out to reclaim your father’s legacy and bring justice to the traitors who wronged you. Develop a humble outpost into a sprawling settlement by investing in production buildings to create a selfsustaining economy. Utilise the black market to distribute valuable resources and grow the wealth of your pirate citizens. Recruit heroic captains and command a powerful fleet in realtime as you take to the waves in the name of conquest. Liberate islands, defeat rival factions, and navigate complex diplomatic relationships with the global superpowers of the time.

Create a resourcebased economy – Utilise 100+ unique buildings to provide the resources and infrastructure required to grow your burgeoning republic. Develop the skills of your pirate citizens by supplying them with luxury goods, and upgrade to new tiers of industry with increasingly more complex production chains.

Engage in realtime naval battles – Command a fleet of ships to explore the archipelago and conquer new territories. Engage in realtime strategic combat with vulnerable merchant vessels, marauding buccaneers, and powerful ships of the line. Utilise the tactical map to plan and execute your next raid.

Conduct diplomacy – Establish and manage dynamic relationships with local pirate clans and influential national trading companies. Harbour rivalries and forge alliances as you navigate a complex diplomatic web where no action goes unnoticed.

Expand your fleet – Construct 8 unique ship classes, including the nimble Brigantine and the formidable Manofwar, and customise your fleet’s appearance with emblems and cosmetics. Recruit talented captains and hone their skills in battle to unlock new specialisations and combat tactics.

Undertake missions – Receive orders to attack settlements, collect bounties, and strike trade deals to influence your standing in the Caribbean. Race against time to fulfil urgent faction requests and shape your fate by deciding how multichoice story events are resolved.
