Pirates of the Burning Sea: Power & Prestige Announced

Flying Lab Software has announced the development of Power & Prestige, the first major expansion to Pirates of the Burning Sea due for release in Q2 2010. Power & Prestige will allow players to not only capture ports on behalf of their parent nations, but also to become a Port Governor with great economic and strategic influence. Player Governors can set tax rates and increase defensive capabilities in their towns, making those ports more valuable as traffic hubs or easier to defend against attack. Players will need to use all of the intrigue and cunning at their disposal to seize or keep hold of power. Power & Prestige will be available free of charge to new and existing Pirates of the Burning Sea players.
