Then it struck me, I actually get a deeper look into the game universe by dying so much that the game never repeats itself. Each of those lives was a little glimpse into the same universe from different perspectives. Perhaps I'm reading too far into things, but as far as strategy games go, this one has some really unique and intuitive ideas, like being able to suffocate pirates if your ship gets boarded, or open up various doors around your ship to help put out fires. Great game, I'd suggest buying it if it comes up in a sale.
