City of Abandoned Ships
Fans have been waiting for real sequel to Sea Dogs for many years. We had to suffer through
two failed atempt: Pirates of Caribbean and Age of Pirates. Fortunately, fans were able to
salvage those two and with many mods bring them closer to original Sea Dogs. This time Akella
decided not to take any risks and simply hired Seaward(company formed by creators of those
mods) to make this game.
