Product Description:
Embark on a glorious voyage of naval combat and grand adventure!
During the 19th Century, The Navies of the world's superpowers vied for supremacy on the high seas. Mighty fleets would sail into battle under national colors, led by immortal heroes to engage in the beautiful yet deadly art of naval warfare. A single broadside salvo, or an early grappling and boarding would sometimes decide the fate of entire nations. During this age of wooden ships and iron men, A brave and disciplined crew was worth its weight in gold, for the enemy was always right over the horizon in the form of enemy flotillas, and swarms of pirates that hunted the busy trade routes, stalking ships to steal their gold and send their sailors to Fiddler's Green.
But often it was leadership that decided the naval battles that changed the course of history. The history books immortalize the exploits of great captains and admirals that often rewrote prevailing naval strategy with single battles, overcoming adversity and seemingly overwhelming odds.
Now you too can lead the wooden fleets of the world's most powerful nautical powers into battle in the new standard in naval combat simulation, Age of Sail 2: Privateer's Bounty. Never before has every aspect of nautical combat been so faithfully reproduced, from advanced sailing tactics, to the handling of your crews. It's time to for you to accept your Letter of Marques, and immerse yourself into an epoch of adventure and intrigue, into the Age of Sail.

Tried loading it, froze up. Downloaded patches- won't run. Think it needs a better computer than I have.
