_Things I prefer in Plague of the Dead:_ġ) Seamless merging of harbours with Open WorldĢ) The fact that we can access and upgrade the fort and buildings in captured national ports.ģ) I like the map (chart) icon better than the one in CH, which was easily mistaken for a compass.Ĥ) I like that we are not pressured to attack ports before we feel so inclined.ĥ) I like the way ships sometimes explode prior to sinking.Ħ) I like the the news tidbits gleaned from recued surviors.ħ) While I generally prefer CH's realism to PD's fantasy theme, I have to admit I find the Cracken a gas! I think they did a good job of that.
