I remember how I caught the silver train in Cartahena, most of my pirates didn’t survive the onslaught. So when the time came to divide the plunder each pirate would get ~ -16000 gold, I immediately recognized that was 16-bit wrap around. Sadly nobody wanted me to leed the next journey so I retired as a freaking rich pirate.

A weird quirk in the game is that it's sometimes useful to cull your crew when they're unhappy- so you don't have to spend a few months idle after dividing the plunder.
