    Sea Dogs : To Each His Own!

    When I first saw that video, I thought it was a simple rerelease of Pirates of the Caribbean, but when I discovered the musket and other new features, I got curious. Hopefully, it will appear on GOG as I boycott Steam as far as possible.

    Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord update

    Impressive! Now imagine mods like "Sword of Damocles" or "The Last Days of the Third Era of Middle Earth" using the capabilities of this engine.

    Pirate related point and click adventure games?

    Monkey Island 1 and 2 got remakes with the option to switch between original pixel-art and modern graphics.

    Rather a Different kind of ship

    Fire at will, boarding, autopilot... Reminds me of the X series. Can it compete with the complexity of X3 Albion Prelude?

    Active Promotion and Recruiting on Other Sites

    You should also target twcenter.net, the definite site for Total War games and modding. People appreciating Empire and Napoleon should also be interested in Hearts of Oak. Some people have already discovered HoO: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?661065-Hearts-of-Oak-Conquest-of-the-Seas

    Hearts of Oak News: Important Announcement

    No wonder Unity is becoming more and more popular seeing that is is such an impressive engine. You should be able to collect the money for several licenses (1.500$ per license) with a kickstarter or indiegogo campaign. People seem to be quite generous...

    Viva El Presidente! Tropico 5 Released for PC Today!

    Tropico 4 with Modern Times is way more enjoyable than the fifth part.

    Viva El Presidente! Tropico 5 Released for PC Today!

    In my oppinion, this game is mediocre at best: - many important buildings from Tropico 4 are missing (all the tourist entertainment buildings, solar power plant, wind power plant, firewatch, parliament, ministries, elementary school, prison(!), prison camp etc.) - game is even more simplified...

    Hearts of Oak News Update

    What a nice trailer! I can't wait to play a realistic sailing game. The move to Ogre3D would probably be the best course of actions, as open source projects can be tailored to the user's needs.

    Grand Theft Auto 5

    The game has been released and the reviews have been very positive (which doesn't have to mean much as "Total War Rome II" has shown). There are drawbacks like stutter and few people when driving, but that's the drawback with these outdated consoles. Let's wait and see how the PC version will...

    Star Wars: Empire at War

    The best mod is, hands down, Awakening of the Rebellion.

    American Conquest

    I remember this game and especially the soundtrack. Too bad the gameplay was slow (resource gathering is a pain in this game) and the units hiding in buildings very extremely unfair. However, you could learn something about the history of the American continent and storming the Natives with...

    Mount & Blade

    One of my favorite mods is "Sword of Damocles: Warlords". It offers new factions with interesting units. The map was changed to a very big island and you can build proper village, castle and town buildings. There is also a population and a religion system which influences many aspects of the game.

    Yes and No, Total War: Rome II Announced for 2013

    It is as I have feared. Rome II is arcadish crap for casual gamers. While it may look nice and the engine has some interesting possibilities, the result is bad. The campaign is lacking and simplicistic compared to Paradox games, not to mention the fact that several DLCs will fill the neglected...

    Released Empire: Total War

    If you're interested in a realistic mod, you should give "Empire Realism 4" a try. They have changed the stats of all units, the battlefield mechanics, the technology trees and the choice of units to better reflect reality (as far as it is possible). Now the game makes much more fun.

    How to create a good fleet?

    I have found out that the Heavy Galleon offers much cargo space and it has rather low maintenance costs. This ship could hold your loot while you and your other companions use military ships like corvettes, frigates, battleships and Manowars.

    fleet setup

    Well, I guess a fast ship like a corvette (the Dog of War) or a frigate (Cinco Lliagas) couldn't hurt. Your stupid AI companions however need something with more power, like a Manowar or a battelship. You have to make sure that you get enough food and medicine, which is rather difficult to...

    Patrician 4!!!!!

    Modability has never been a strength of Ascaron as far as I know. A real pirate career with my own raubritter castle/city would be great, because P3 lacks in this field. It would be challenging to play as good old Klaus Stoertebeker or Michel Godecke, 2 famous pirates. Regarding land trading...

    Patrician 4!!!!!

    Hopefully, they won't waiste their time on "precious" 3d graphics. I can live with good, realistic and highly-detailed 2d graphics which don't kill my graphics card and keep loading times low. In fact, I would love to see how modern 2d would look like. In my oppinion, the best idea would be to...
