Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many nationalities can you choose?

Answer: 4

You can be English, French, Dutch or Spanish. There are classes like Buccaneers, Renegades, Corsairs, Adventurers, Seahawks, Huegnouts and many more.

2. One of the nationalities is very big and takes up more then any of the others, which is it?

Answer: Spanish

Spain takes up most of the map, maybe even as much as English, French and Dutch put together. Spain is also very prospering as there are only a few poor Spanish towns.

3. How many types of women are there that are possible to marry?

Answer: 4

There are 4 choices, 3 nice ones and one shrewish one. Getting married is a great way to increase your reputation.

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

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.

5. Treasure Fleet and Silver _____?

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.

6. You first rank is what?

Answer: Ensign

When you bring a pirate back or wage war on your nation's enemies, you will become an Ensign and get some acres of land. To do so, once your reputation on your enemies is Wary or Hostile, visit one of your nations governor's.

7. What is the smallest, weakest ship?

Answer: Pinnace

Pinnace is by far the weakest, a good gunshot will halfway destroy it. Then comes Sloop, Barque, Cargo Fluyt, Frigate, Merchentmen, Galleon, War Galleon and Fast Galleon.

8. Where is your sister being held captive?

Answer: Plantation

When you beat the Evil Spaniard, he tells you the whereabouts of your sister, apparently held captive in a plantation. He gives you a map which is of almost no help at all because most of the map is torn off.

9. How many options do you have in town?(Visit The Governor, etc)

Answer: 6

You can Visit The Governor, Visit A Tavern, Trade With A Merchant, Divide Up The Plunder, you can check your party status and you can Leave. Visiting the governor gives you options to marry or new ranks. Pirates with treasure maps, travellers and wannabe pirates infest the tavern. Trade with a merchent is what is is, trading. Dividing up the plunder lets you share your gold with your crew because if you don't they will get angry. Checking your statues lets you sun sight, party status, personal status, cities, maps and search and leaving lets you leave the town.

10. Who is the creator of this game?

Answer: Sid Meier

Sid Meier is the mastermind behind this game. He also made 2004's "Pirates".
