    Santisima Trinidad (1769-1805)

    Well, somebody mentioned it so here it comes. The Santisima Trinidad was the largest ship of its era. After several reforms, it ended up with 4 gun decks and carrying 140 guns. The Santisima Trinidad was built in Havana in 1769 and originally it carried 120 guns. Anyway her performance left...

    Spanish 74 guns SHIPYARD CUTAWAYS

    Well, the images are scanned from a book and the originals in high-res allow to see the numbers on the cutaways and read reasonably well the captions for each number -in 18th century Spanish naval jargon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"...

    Spanish 74 guns SHIPYARD CUTAWAYS

    This are a set of cutaway drawings of an unidentified Spanish ship of the line; a 74-guns ship from the "Ildefonsinos" series (built upon the model of the terribly successful San Ildefonso); probably this ship is the Montañés, built in 1794. This cutaways are shipyard cutaways, a part of the...

    Slef-proclaimed silly question

    Hey, CCC, thanks for the new file! I just would need some more detailed instructions on how to download it ... like, where it is "PA fTP"... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> As for the flags, well, just...

    Leaving for sea: The final week starts

    I was to wish you "fair wind" yet guess it doesn't make much sense in the age of steam turbine. So, have a smooth sailing and may this opportunity be fruitful and engaging. Good luck, Pieter!

    Slef-proclaimed silly question

    Well, it's a silly question. I've noticed that Spanish ships in the game sport modern Spanish flags rather than the historical flag, and I was wondering... - is that a stock game thing? - is a mod? - can they be changed for the true Spanish navy flag? Here is the historical flag from 1690...

    A question on wind & guns gauge

    Houm, thanks for explaining. I was quite frustated after checking the whole buildsettings file (although shifted some things, I'm about to give a try to the "brass" compass rose as soon as I can get with the game). And, as you may have noticed, I'm not friend of finding annoyances whenever I...

    A question on wind & guns gauge

    Houm.... I've got Build 13 upgrade 2 , and I've noticed that now the "wind & guns gauge" that used to be in the upper right corner now is smaller and close to the lower left corner. I've been loking for a way to deactivate the mod causing this effect as, frankly, the "new" gauge sucks. <img...

    Defining a Common Goal

    Houm... About criticals, I never have seen a ship blow to bits, although have seen the "fire reached the gunpowder magazine of (...)" message. Also have seen messages saying "(...) has been sunk by the hand of God!". For criticals, I do understand them as, a, a timely hit that causes a gun to...

    Defining a Common Goal

    Houm... This kind of games haves soem cocneptual shortcomings. Ships in the 16000 weren't fun, but using them was fun (from a gamer's standpoint). Whereas ships of the Napoleonic wars were fun, but their use was appallingly boring. So, wether we have cool ships with lots of fcrew and...
