No easter eggs here, mate:y
Open up the Piratopedia and look up the entry for St. Eustatius. Early in the entry the word
‘Eastern’ is used and only the ‘Easter’ part of it is a hyperlink. Click it to access a hidden
page that firmly denies the existence of any easter eggs in Sid Meier’s Pirates.
Mysterious Sid:
In rare and random occasions, the Mysterious Traveler at the back of the tavern will instead
be Sid Meier, the executive producer of the game. He will be most distinct, as he lacks the
trademark beard of the other mysterious travelers. He otherwise acts just like a normal
Mysterious Traveler.

Easy money:
If you have more than one boat and are sailing and your crew says that they are taking one
of your boats, just follow them and take it over. You will get it back, plus more money as
it gives that boat’s plundered money.
Happy Crew:
A good way to keep a happy crew is to keep a good amount of food/luxuries/goods/spices/sugar
but this is hard to keep on hand. Get your good ship upgraded then get a treasure ship ( you
will hear about them from bar maids or just find ‘em) they carry a lot of cargo so just keep
two ships permananelty. Sell the others because they are usless. Keep a battle/fun ship and
your big ship that carries supplies for long voyages.
Alternative dancing mini-game ending:
When the Governor’s daughter gives you the hand signal, select the button for the hand
movement right after she gives you the signal. You will do a special dancing move which will
get her heart up very fast, if you do it many times in a row. If her heart is large enough
when the mini-game is over, instead of kissing her hand, you will spin her around and then
she will kiss you. Afterwards she will usually give you a present or extremely valuable
information.
Hint:
To do the flourish during dance sequences, hit the button for the correct direction when
the girl nods her head at you.
