* ObviousBeta: The 2004 version shipped with several intended features not available.
** As originally intended, you would have needed to build up your relationship with the Indians and the Jesuits before they would help you, but instead, they just trust you completely all the time. There are items that are described as improving your relations with Indians or Jesuits, but what they actually do is reduce the time you have to wait after the Indians or Jesuits have given you a mission before they can give you a new one. This means the in-game descriptions of said items are [[GuideDangIt quite misleading]], and have led many players to believe that they do nothing at all.
** Artillery is nowhere to be found in the game, despite being shown in the game's built-in wiki. Mind you, if it wasn't omitted, it would have made the land battles ''much'' more difficult, as they supposedly had a staggering ''eight'' square range[[note]]for context, ''twice'' as far as the player's own Buccaneers[[/note]] and incredible damage power. A later patch removed the wiki entry.
** The manual mentions that the Indians will sometimes help you in land battles, but this never happens in-game. They only show up on the side of your AI-controlled colonial enemies or as Montalban's henchmen.

* EventObscuringCamera: Your opponent's moves in swordfighting are occasionally obscured by action happening in the foreground, particularly other dueling crewmembers, or a crewmember falling from above. Since swordfighting in the game depends entirely upon watching your opponent's move and reacting accordingly, this can be enough to rapidly turn a fight sour.

* GoddamnedBats: Pirate Hunters. Any Spanish ship you take out will likely trigger one or more of these ships, usually consisting of a fast Sloop. Ignore it and it will hound your fleet, pummeling it with endless cannon fire and damaging every ship you have. Engage it, and you'll likely take at least a few hits with chainshot or grapeshot before you bring the bastard down. Its never enough to actually ''stop'' you, but the damage to crew numbers and your sails is usually enough to be severely annoying.
** And if you do opt to fight it, which is never a profitable venture as they are heavily armed and have few valuables in their holds, chances are the closest enemy town to you will immediately sic ''another'' hunter on your tail, and he might have an even bigger ship!

Considering how this includes the likes of Blackbeard and Henry Morgan, this is saying something.

** Instead of taking Montalban or Raymundo prisoner and interrogating them for information of lost family members, the player is just content with a map piece and repeating the process of finding them again. Then again, though, both are clearly Spanish nobility, so it's probably more of a pragmatic move to avoid having the whole Spanish Navy come after you.
** Sometimes, pirates that have escaped from your capture will follow you, giving you the chance to imprison them again.
