So, what exactly is Pirates: Tides of Fortune besides a F2P pirates-themed MMORTS game? Well...
During the Age O’ Piracy, The Caribbean was a haven for every privateer, buccaneer and scallywag across the Seven Seas. However, this pirate paradise is now threatened by king Carlos-Ferdinand IV, who declared war on piracy, banditry and swashbuckling. Someone must take the helm, gather their crew of salty freebooters and send the Spanish king and his fleets on a one-way voyage to meet Davy Jones.

You will be that Captain in Pirates: Tides of Fortune, a highly competitive MMORTS by Plarium.

Sail to a desert island where you will plant your flag and raise your pirate Haven. There, you will train your very own crew of ruthless rogues and construct a massive fleet of sloops, frigates and warships. With the aid of the cunning Captain “Bonnie” Anne O’Malley, you will gather your crew and set sail to rid the Seven Seas of the landlubbers and their ilk. But such a campaign can’t be won with gunpowder alone.

You can build up your defenses, manage resources, and hire crew that will hopefully remain loyal to you throughout all your days.
