PiratesAhoy! is a great community for all fans of pirates and the Age of Sail, centred around games, books, and movies. The community is currently developing their own non-commercial indie title, Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas, which is their first standalone game project. They have traditionally been a modding community, their flagship works being the unified Build Mod (AKA New Horizons) for Akella's 2003 game Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Gentlemen of Fortune mod for the more recent game, Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships©. The community is free for anyone to join, regardless of age, nationality or ability, and they always warmly welcome any and all new members to their site. I have never seen a more friendly and professional community like Pirates Ahoy! They're always on the lookout for beta testers, coders, modellers, texture artists and anyone with new ideas!

Wolf Pack Games was founded by the Pirates Ahoy! members Jehremie Woods, Christian Tornholm-Lehn and Justin Howell for own projects. After Jehremie had left his position as lead programmer at the Pirates Ahoy! communities project „Hearts of Oak“, they have chosen to produce a more specific version of an naval warfare game in Unity. Although it looks like a static separation of different interests, all involved people are still friends, members in the Pirates Ahoy! community and help each other! Wolf Pack Games works more dynamic as the PA! community. The team focus different projects as support options and started their game project with regularly updates and alpha- / betatests, besides different other developments. Please check out their website wolfpackgames and tidesofwargame for more information and whats actually happend.
