I quite like the maps, especially the before and after detail on the last. Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPete Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 They had to think it was the end of the world in the 1692 earthquake. Been thru a couple modern ones that were scary, but they dont even rate compared to Port Royal. William... Note the tavern is the center of the Debauchery scene. Careful who you choose for a barkeep! LOL Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
