1UP has previewed Sid Meier's Pirates! again.
They tell us the thing GameSpy didn't, what Sid Meier didn't like about his Pirates! 3 months ago. The Land-battle system. It has been fully redone since then, according to 1UP.
Quote from the preview:
"Land battles occur when you're trying to take a hostile fort or town by force across an island; your crew is divided into divisions based on ability, and you have at it with the enemy in a real-time strategy setup. Except you don't. The land battles are now turn-based and much more strategic than before, with scouting units, height advantages, and so forth. It's still very quickly paced, but they aren't a simple matter of one side overwhelming the other with manpower anymore."
Turn-based huh? Very interesting mix for a real-time based game :) Perhaps you'll find it interesting to discuss this in our forums!
Anyways, read the whole preview here!
