The period we are attempting to portray is approximately 1660s-1670s, or the height of the Buccaneering era. Before the golden age of piracy in the early 18th century, there was an even more bloodthirsty phase of attacks in the Caribbean known as the Buccaneering era. During the course of various European wars between the English, French, Dutch and Spanish, Buccaneers launched devastating attacks on the colonies and shipping of the Spainish main. Buccaneer leaders such as Captain Morgan and Jean David Nau, "L'Olonnois", carried out raids throughout the Caribbean basin, even launching full scale invasions of the South American mainland. These raids eventually brought the whole Spanish economy to its knees.
