For sea-based ship simulators, Sid Meier's Pirates belongs to the former group, while Akella's long-lived, many-different-names Pirates series has traditionally aimed its cannons toward significantly more hardcore players. This pattern continues, for better or worse, in Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships."
