Pirating (Privateer units)

[niels251]

Hello,
I have version 3.03 when i let my privateers pirate. I click the button than the game freezes for 10 second(maybe less) and than i can continue. It is little bit irritating.

specs: AMD Athlon 64 3400+, 2 GB memory, 256 mb videocard.

There is a very noticeable lag when any ship is set to blockade, not just privateers (though they seem even worse for this). Reminds me of the way in Civ 3, cutting a trade route by pillaging a road would cause the game to hang for ages while it reworked all the trade routes. I suspect there's a similar issue here.

I've noticed this as well.

I also noticed that when I blockaded a coastal city all of their trade routes disappeared. Is this normal or a bug?

Ships don't keep adjacent tiles from being worked anymore by just being there? You need to set them in blockade mode?
