In the human campaign you assume the role of Percival Kent, a seasoned paladin who has been sent by the Emperor to investigate reports of goblin activity in a human settlement. The kingdom is at the brink of war… Who wants it to break out? What kind of alliance will you have to forge to face the inevitable invasion of the green-skinned foes?

In update version 2.0 we are introducing a new premium captain and vessel. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus. Nautilus is a state of the art submarine that is also very capable on the surface. She's not only for looks, she’s built for ramming. That appearance packs a lethal combination of wooden hull shredding - steel spikes combined with one singular turret styled gun with rotating aim that packs 20x more damage than any cannon could ever deliver. This gun has 2 functions, it works as a battleship type large caliber cannon with rotation and also has rotating mortar function. Both functions feature free manual control as well as auto touch positioning. Be sure to check these features out in first person pov that is situated at the gun. Captain Nemo like Bellamy, increases your ramming damage by 3x onboard any ship. But that's not even close to all he's capable of. When onboard his Nautilus, he will increase; ramming and cannon fire damage, increases maximum speed and decreases cannon reload time. Plague of the Dead is a game full of magic and mysticism, and we intend to create an experience with conventional supernatural pirate tales, where the historical characters and events blend with fairy tales and fictional characters. The next large update is scheduled for November as well, and will contain free singleplayer mini-campaign called “Flintlock of the Damned”. We are also working on an update for The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt at the moment as well. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30756795/2fda86292c7219da5c93d51530fb194f905190ee.jpg

We are continuing to improve The Pirate: Plague of the Dead. With this update we wanted to tweak the sandbox mechanics of the game. As you know, you may conquer the ports you discover during story missions or by exploring the open world. But it’s not permanent - enemy nation usually tries to get it back by sending the military fleets. We don’t want to get rid of this feature, but we’ve changed it a little bit. If you build (or upgrade) the fort to a level 6, the nation who previously ruled the port will now be scared and won’t send a military fleet anymore. What this means is that the port becomes yours - permanently. Of course, upgrading forts will cost you some gold, so we have also added an option to permanently capture ports, even if you don’t upgrade the fort to level 6. To do this you will have to capture and control all ports of the given nation at the same time, which includes defending them. If you do that, all towns ruled by that nation are yours, forever. We suggest to start with small nations like Dutch or Denmark, invest some gold in buildings and production and when your pirate empire starts to grow, then take out the other larger nations. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30756795/75f3d22399882d5975c27a3fac90ccf7e25101fb.png
