Every day, each nation receives victory points on the basis of its port holdings. The first nation to reach the goal is declared the victor, and celebrations and awards ensue. Then treaties are signed, ports revert to their original sides, and a new round of conflict begins.

Feature Set:

• Four Loyalties: Choose Pirate, English, French or Spanish and Traverse a world of more than 100 PvP conquerable ports in the Caribbean.
• Blistering Naval Combat: Virtual buccaneers can engage in fierce ship-to-ship combat in real time, complete with the roar of cannon fire and the crunch of timber as masts and hulls are shattered, sending foes to the bottom of the briny deep or leaving them helpless and ripe for looting.
• Savage Swashbuckling: Whether you choose traditional Fencing, the dual-wielding showmanship known as Florentine, or the treachery of Dirty Fighting, your very stance will display your chosen mastery and your every move will be distinct.
• Player Versus Player - Conquerable World: Players complete missions to destabilize ports, making them eligible for conquest by their nation. By keeping up the pressure, the conquest mode begins and the ocean surrounding the port becomes an open player versus player environment. All of this culminates with a final conflict to either save the port or conquer it.

A dynamic commodities market provides opportunity for clever traders to turn coin, navy missions throw you into the thick of combat, and pirates have ample targets for plunder.
