Disclamer.
This game has an outdated user interface and game mechanics. In fact, it is a remaster of the original series of corsairs and created more for the old narrow audience rather than for the masses, so I will not do a retelling of the plot and mechanics and will go rather to compare this product with the original series.

Most importantly, it is operable and runnable on vindows 10 and 11 without any third party manipulation. In order to start older versions such as City of Lost Ships you need to sweat a lot or use a virtual machine or emulator. The interface has received some nice changes although it is far from ideal and still has some bugs. So for example, if at the start of the game you select another window, the game will lock your cursor on the center of the game and will keep so until you do not select the game window, but this is a small thing compared to the bugs and flaws of previous parts of the series.

Was to some extent modified graphics, but it led to the fact that in the presence of not the latest hardware (3070 and 64 RAM) still in some places there were sags up to 10 fps. Unlevel these sags can be adjusted game settings.

An important detail is that now available several characters among which is the original Mr. Blood, but the presence of others gives you the opportunity not to go through the opening series of quests of Blood once again. Reduced the amount of character customization when you could custom spread skill points, now there are only a couple of ready-made presets from which you have to choose.

In terms of gameplay, I didn't find much change. There were a couple of new generated typical quests, fixed bugs of some old versions. The most for me was that in the pirate settlements no longer have a diplomat who can restore reputation with factions. For 30 hours of play I have not met any of them, although I was looking for a lot.

In fact, it is nothing but a remaster of corsairs to each his own. Do not expect anything new. This is an old game that is close to some people to tears and if all you want is to play a stable version of the game of childhood without too much effort, this is what you need.

Update: found a diplomat at a private agency in the port royale to the left of the pier. Probably in other local capitals and can be found too.
