    Need Help Please somebody help me !!!

    Stay away from amazon, here they sell the game for 54,90 Euro that is borderline crazy. I would even call that piracy and I do not approve of it this time :nogood The only advantage of the boxed version is the map that comes with it. The map itself is nice but not necessary and you can find it...

    Solved Ransoming captains.

    I just wanted to add, I am at the moment on hostile relations with the dutch, I captured 5 of their captains, bought a trade license to smuggle goods and sold the captains off. They give 5 times the money you would get for a simple pirate captain. So I think it pays off if you have more business...

    Solved Deputy Problem

    Wow, that doesn't really seem much. I mean considering how much money you burn in the endgame, it is like the hero has a fireplace in his cabin on the flagship where he literally burns money. I miss the colony upgrades from the original age of pirates. Although the rest of this game is much better.

    Need Help Rats, Rats and more Rats!!

    Do you know the Brothel Treasure mission? Talk to a whore, flatter her and if she responds positively then mention her name to the madame. Sleep in the tavern and buy the same girl the next day. Repeat and always talk to the girl afterwards. After a few times she will mention the location of a...

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    It is just the forward facing locators. To avoid the cannon multiplication bug, the number of forward facing cannons has to be changed to 4 and the subseadependweight should be around 0.3 or 0.4 (certainly not 0.9), otherwise parts of the deck are under water when fully loaded with bermuda...

    Solved Ransoming captains.

    Yes, as far as I remember, they do. They might even pay double. When I do trade runs to get some gold from the spanish cities I usually get rid of the spanish officers that have accumulated. With a trading license, no problem ;)

    Solved Deputy Problem

    I am a bit curious, how much do you get for a colony in a month? I never bothered to capture one for myself.

    Need Help Modding the quest NPCs

    So in case anyone wonders. Danielle is in the MagicCity.c Humphrey is in the LSC_Q2Utilite.c John, Pitt and Ned are in the reaction_functions.c Pay attention in the files it is P.I.E.A.T.R.S. I do not know why Endurance and Reaction are swapped around, you only notice with Danielle and Humphrey...

    Solved Is there a good way to level Leadership?

    I am rather tempted to fiddle with the AddCharacterExpToSkill(pchar, "Leadership") values in church and brothel :wp Browsing through the files, I saw that donating to the beggar gives you also some leadership up to 100.000 pieces of eight, afterwards he calls you nuts :D But all the skill boni...

    Solved So, knocking out sails and masts.

    But we do have the mast damage. The file is AIShip.c case SHIP_MAST_TOUCH_BALL: int iBallType = sti(AIBalls.CurrentBallType); switch (iBallType) { case GOOD_BALLS: fDamage = fDamage + 0.1; break; case GOOD_GRAPES: fDamage = fDamage + 0.05; break; case GOOD_KNIPPELS: fDamage = fDamage + 0.25...

    Need Help Request for advice

    As for the P.I.R.A.T.E.S. there are several noteworthy things. Endurance governs how much health you gain with leveling up. This is really important on higher difficulties as you can't block all the swings anymore when your enemies are at a sufficiently high level and you need to be able to take...

    Solved Is there a good way to level Leadership?

    I think there was a missunderstanding ^^ I want to level everything to 100 and all that is left is stealth which is at 62 thanks to my excessive smuggeling and leadership which is at 54. I want to raise those to get two more personal perks. I have all three books, I think the last one was the...

    Solved So, knocking out sails and masts.

    I don't know Ben, I always thought that the grapeshots are a great preparation for boarding the enemy. I am not a very patient pirate, so I mostly go for the fast boarding approach :D

    Solved Is there a good way to level Leadership?

    The priest quests give you a small amount of Leadership and buying one of the nice ladys does so too, I noticed :D But still, Leadership is by far my lowest stat and I would like to raise it a bit faster, how would I do that? While searching the forum, I read that the dice player cheats on me...

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    The mod looks really nice! The last time I played COAS we only had the community mod. Unfortunately some of the errors are still there :( I captured the Blue Bird and noticed, that it has the cannon duplication bug with the cannons facing forward and when you fire them, they damage your own...
