Old Naval game

Hello everybody! I would like to introduce myself as a new member,so this is my first post.

I require members help please regarding an old PC game of yesteryear.I used to have the game many moons ago which was installed on an old windows 98 desktop machine.Unfortunately I have lost the disc and am unable to recall the title.
All I can remember is it was set around the Spanish Armada times. I think you picked a nation England,Spain and I think France.I am not sure if the country names where slightly changed?You had a top down map of Britain,France and Europe and you could also sail to the Americas. You traded goods and went into port to repair your ship.I think you could also conquer land and if you were caught by another nation a battle in the open seas would ensue.You could also get attacked by pirates and Island tribes which graphically looked like little canoes coming at you.
When you began the game the intro scene was two ships battling each other and it showed some members of your crew loading and firing the guns under deck. Eventually they got fire balled and the ship was destroyed.If I remember the masts collapsed and the opening credits ended?

Any help in trying to find out this game title would be great as it as bugged me for many years.Hopefully one day I will find the disc but unfortunately it as disappeared off the face of the earth!!

Thanks- Capen

capen!

I'm still playing Age of Sail but I don't think that's it

Aktungbby I think I have the age of sail stuff somewhere and I am positive it is not one of those.
Somewhere in my past there is an answer to my mystery.I have even googled it to try find a title name that will spark my memory.But no joy!

Thanks.

Thaks Jimbuna!

Will take a look.

Edit: Had a quick browse but still not reminding me of anything.
Also had another good look at my old pc stuff.Behind and inside cupboards and boxes(dusty) but still no joy.
Maybe one day I'll remember.

Thanks again-Capen

I usually go to the Home of the Underdogs site to search for info about an old game. As it usually has some screenshot that could make a bell ring. Or is it ... ring a bell?

I'm not sure if this is considered a no-go area in regards to Subsim's no piracy policy. As in the past you could download games from it. Now it seems to just revert to Google.
