8. Who is the one that knows where your family members are?

From Quiz Sid Meier's Pirates!

Answer: Evil Spaniard

The Evil Spaniard always knows the whereabouts to your family. You hear information then he is going from ville to ville and you have to track him down. After you find and capture him, he gives you a map to your family member.

9. What city is the farthest north in the pirate world?

From Quiz "Sid Meier's Pirates!" For PC

Answer: St. Augustine

St. Augustine is in the location of what is now the middle of the coast of Florida. It is the farthest north, and it is quite far from it's brothers and sisters (other Spanish ports) in the south. Havana, usually a capital, is nearest, and much communication goes on between the two cities.

10. The Era of 1600 is considered very difficult to play if you're going to side exclusively with the Dutch. Why?

From Quiz All about "Sid Meier's Pirates!"

Answer: They have only one port at the start of the game.

The Dutch port of St. Eustatius lies at the far east end of the map, so it's considerably hard to return to after sailing anywhere else. To make things worse, the Spanish are everywhere and they're pretty strong. If you can take some of their powerful cities and give them to the Dutch though, you can shift the balance of power and make your life a bit easier. Nations can't sell you ships at all, and the money you get for selling captured ships doesn't rely on the city's wealth nor its nation's prowess.

11. Treasure Fleet and Silver _____?

From Quiz Sid Meier's Pirates!

Answer: Train

The Treasure Fleet and Silver Train are vital if you want to start off a game good. They ask you when it was in a town and you have to guess unless you know.

12. What evil Spaniard imprisoned your family at the beginning of the game?

From Quiz "Sid Meier's Pirates!" For PC

Answer: Marquis de la Montalban

You start off by hunting down Baron Raymondo, who has a map to each of your missing family members. When you have found them all, you fight Montalban here and there until he surrenders.

13. The kind of ship you get at the very start of a game relies on the Era you chose to play in as well as the nationality you decide to belong to. However for the most part, you are most likely to get a ________ ?

From Quiz All about "Sid Meier's Pirates!"

Answer: Sloop

Sloops are VERY common in the caribbean - every nation uses them, and they're used for a lot of different functions. The top type of Sloops, namely the "Royal Sloop", is a bit more rare, but if you set out to find one it shouldn't be very difficult. Your best bet would be to attack the Spanish - they release these as Pirate-Hunters sometimes.

14. What is the name of Jack Rackham's ship?

From Quiz "Sid Meier's Pirates!" For PC

Answer: Charles

From Quiz "Sid Meier's Pirates!" For PC

Answer: Ship of the Line

Incredibly rare and remarkably strong, the Ship of the Line is the most powerful ship afloat. If you are lucky enough to get hold of one of these prizes, you best take extreme care of it, and watch out for the nation it previously served; they'll be after your blood!

From Quiz All about "Sid Meier's Pirates!"

Chain-shot works wonder on sails. It has shorter range than the all-purpose Round Shot, but can easily tear big holes in your enemy's riggings, slowing them down or even breaking their main mast. Grape-Shot is another kind of cannonball, which mainly kills enemy crew, but has really short range.

18. Where is your sister being held captive?

From Quiz Sid Meier's Pirates!
