    Sails and flags won't change

    That did the trick. Thanks yo ho ho. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> EDIT: I take it back. It worked at first but now it's stopped working. I can change sail color ... usually (by that I mean it worked for...

    Sails and flags won't change

    Hi all. Sorry if this has been asked. I did do a search. When I go to change my sails or my flag in the ship screen and then go back to the 3D world, I still have my old sails and flag (white sails, English flag). I'm running 1.5 and a no-dvd patch (am I allowed to mention that here??? <img...

    Forgive the rant --- help the ranter?

    Hi. I'm looking for a mod, or at least someone to tell me how to do it myself, which reduces the aggressiveness of pirates. I started replaying this game after a long time and chose the English. This comes on the heels of playing a LOT of Sid Meier's Pirates! and the gameplay between that and...

    What do we need in a mod?

    One more thing, because I just can't get the stupidity of some of these posts off my mind. For everyone who thinks POTC is superior to Pirates!, go open a book. Although I cringe at the image I am about to produce (believe me I do) I must say it, as I feel this strongly about the issue...

    What do we need in a mod?

    This is really rich. Next thing they'll be begging for a mod that gets rid of the Carribean and lets you play on the Archipelago. ROFLMAO. <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The choice of paying your men by the month instead of dividing the...

    First impressions from the beta testers

    I must convey my sheer disappointment that you did not answer my request from months back to become a `beta-tester`. Whether that answer was positive, negative or "I have nothing to do with that end of it" didn't matter. And yes I did register, as requested. "Oh yeah," they told me, "PM Jeff...

    Free Pirates!

    I'm just trying to figure out why Firaxis would care. I guess I can see one main reason. Firaxis might one day decide to sell the original version again, or perhaps incorporate it into a Gold edition of the new Pirates! or whatever ... they may or may not, but it's their choice. If these...

    Free Pirates!

    Just to play Devil's advocate (and please do not think I am condoning software piracy by asking this question), I wonder how this applies to games that are no longer sold or available on the open market. It is very possible and probable that many people would love to buy these old games but...

    The New Designer Diary....

    Buccaneers have been known to capture galleons with little more than a piragua. But not in the way Pirates! has handled it. Instead they boarded the vessels while they lay at anchor and hijacked them, taking captain and crew (who were probably drunk) captive. But there you have found one...

    The New Designer Diary....

    Quick addition to the above.... Age of Empires and many other notable RTSs. Good or bad? Well, they DO allow armies from various different parts of the world and perhaps different times to fight against each other. Same with Civilization. But I say they are good because <i>from the...

    Hi Mack. Yes I am! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" />: I'm gonna stay away from the topic of realism for a while because it's been pretty `well-covered`. Instead I...
