England only got 2 towns in 1560 and both are poorly defended, so they are no match for my mighty Rapier.
My Settings are:
Starting Period = The Silver Empire (1560)
Nationality = Spanish Renegade
Difficulty = Swashbuckler
Special Ability = Navigation
About the game:
Pirates! is a single-player, open-world game. The player receives a letter of marque authorizing service as a privateer for the Spanish Empire, the Dutch Republic, the Kingdom of England, or the French colonial empire in the Caribbean. The player's loyalties may change over the course of the game; they may also hold rank with multiple countries and may turn to piracy at any time. Gameplay is open-ended; the player may choose to attack enemy ships or towns, hunt pirates, seek buried treasure, rescue long-lost family members, or even avoid violence altogether and seek to increase their wealth through trade. The game also has no predetermined end, although as time goes on, it becomes more difficult to recruit crew members. As the player character ages, fighting becomes more difficult, and deteriorating health will eventually force the character into retirement. The game ends when the player retires, at which point they are given a position in their future life, from beggar to King's advisor, based on accumulated wealth, land, rank, marital status, and other accomplishments.

About the run:
I did start from a good position to reach both towns relativly fast. Sure the wind sucks most of the time, but what you gonna do about it. So time saves are possible for sure.
