Managed to win my first game last night and so far I'm really enjoying the game. To start with I wasn't keen on the pirate idea but as the game progressed and my money increased I really enjoyed putting the bounty on my competitors head!!!!

One thing I feel would be useful is a bar on the main screen showing the time until the next pirate attack so I don't have to keep clicking back and forth.

As the post title suggests I'd like to mention replays in other games i.e. Company of heroes, Supreme Commander I found watching other peoples game replays really helped me improve and learn strategies. Maybe it would be a good idea to create an area where replays can be uploaded and downloaded with maybe a top ten of the best ones. It would be good to watch replays from the Stardock and Ironclad guys and see how the game should be played.

That's all for now and thanks for a great game I look forward to seeing improvements over the coming months.
