    Recruit captured crew

    OMG!!! Corsair difficulty is very hard!!! I usually attack the skeletons in caves right away to max out my personal abilities. The amount of dying and reloading you do at this difficulty is not worth it. If my character is shot he dies. If he gets stabbed/thrusted or a crushing strike he...

    "This is a bug, tell Edie of its existence."

    Thats good to hear your not stuck. One of the other major faults with the game is having to wait a few days before the governors and governor-generals can give you missions. The main fault being that you have to do missions for them in the first place in order to take your own settlements.

    Disappearing Money

    The logbook is a work in progress. I suspect that modders will change some things about it once they get to it. The quest info and instructions could surely be improved too. I do like the deposits page that was added. What would be cool to have is an events page showing dates and changes in...

    Readjusting the difficulty of the game

    I heard from "Handel" that the Russian version of the game has another slider that determines how the NPCs will level as your character does ranging from 1 to 10. This slider allows for improved and more challenging gameplay because enemies gain skills, levels, and abilities everytime you do...

    Disappearing Money

    What if the governor-general moves his location? Can the former capitals then be raided by NPCs or by you? I wish there was a mod that kept the governor generals from traveling so that your money could be safe and so that the nations capitals were permanent. Thats weird that only 5-10% of...

    Recruit captured crew

    I started a new game as a Dutch Corsair. lol, found out that I was playing on the easiest difficulty so I deleted my first profile. In my new game I increased my difficulty, and lowered my rate of experience increase. Now I should have a more challenging and rewarding game. My goal in the...

    Finding Steve Linney

    I have never done any quests for Morgan, so I dont know where the ladder is. Is there any other way for you to enter the residence at night without getting attacked? Maybe you have to fight off the attackers? There may be more answers in the walkthrough threads. Edit: Use the search at the...

    "This is a bug, tell Edie of its existence."

    Maybe "Eddy" will have a solution if "Captain Frosty" gets stuck and cant get any other dialog from the French Governor General. It's good to see some people from Seaward.ru here at the forums. Seaward.ru members might be able to help modders if they come across things in CoAS like translation...

    No overhead health bar

    Thats good that windows has made some improvements with windows 7. After all the game related hassles I went through with vista, I could sure use an upgrade. lol, unfortunately I am stuck with vista unless Santa decides to be generous this year:)

    Cheat God Mode

    I wonder why it is not in the US version? Maybe there is a way to add it? I started a new game at a higher difficulty and fighting the NPCs is tough but it will only become easier once I gain some skills and abilities. If the NPCs gain levels as I do then the game will remain challenging...

    "This is a bug, tell Edie of its existence."

    lol, who's Edie? Can you get any other dialog from the French Governor-General? Try entering in dialog with him again to see if he has missions for you. If you still get the same dialog from your screenshot maybe try spending the night in the tavern and talk to him the next day. I know that...

    To Keep or Not To Keep

    I am going to try taking Port Orange in my current game. May take a while though as I am playing a Dutch Corsair and only just started the profile. Out of all the nations I would say that the Dutch governor-general missions are the easiest because you only have to attack one settlement. I...

    No overhead health bar

    I had to mess with the configuration settings in config.exe to get my game to work to. I am on vista though so I am used to having to tweak stuff to get games to work. lol, I thought windows 7 would be better for PC Games. Doesn't really matter in the long run as the PC Gaming Industry is...

    Finding Steve Linney

    The quests are quite complex, but a lot of them leave you guessing on what to do next without proper instructions in the logbook. The Playlogic Forums have been under construction for a couple months and without The Pirates Ahoy Forums, I would have given up on this game right after I got it.

    To Keep or Not To Keep

    The governor-generals walkthroughs here on the forums will usually state whether you can keep the colony for yourself or if you have to give it to the nation to complete the mission. I have breezed through the walkthroughs, and I think that most of the towns you take as part of a mission have...
