my kid has 50+ hours in sid meier's pirates and told me they stare at the world map in their classroom and try to locate towns and ports in the caribbean when they're bored. i will show your game to them, though i am certain the first thing they will ask for is chain shot.

not to discourage your good work, but here's another project worth checking out if sid meier's pirates is your thing. https://tinywind.io/

Nice, I still remember that map even though I haven't played the game in decades :) tinywind looks very cool, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the shoutout! Always love to see people building cool things

tinywind.io just added a new game mode and has a PvP and Steam release in the works :)

ooh thanks for sharing
I like Windward a lot, even though it does not feel like a complete game. It would benefit from a storyline IMO, and the dev has stopped updating it. I am longing for an open source project similar in scope.
This is really cool
