    Is Peter Blood really "only for an expert"?

    Oh well it never bugged out on YOU so it must be perfect. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> No one said it was unplayable did they? It just takes a complete do-over every once in awhile.

    Enemy Health Bar

    Thanks, that was a good idea that I hadn't thought of. What's weird though is that I uninstalled, reinstalled, and when I started a new game still had no health bar for ships. Wacky... Anyway, I can live without it. I'll just be blowing the hell out of ships before boarding them. And continue...

    Your Style of Play

    I don't like the quests, they are often a bunch of garbled barely coherent text anyway. I just do the missions for governors because they are pretty straight forward, and smuggle slaves or wood(!) here and there for a quick million. Brigantine is my favorite ship early on, then corvette when...

    Is there really a need to add personal and ship skills on the officer

    I don't think so. They seem to start with the attributes their job needs, but I give them new ones anyway. I don't tend to go through officers pretty fast for some reason, so that influences my answer some :\

    Copra

    I wasn't sure what copra was but seeing as in COAS it is contraband in nearly half the ports I assumed it was some sort of heinous drug, or a lethal poison. Nope, it's made out of coconuts. Ok so why is it so ILLEGAL? (I know, food is contraband in some places too, but not like this noxious...

    Crash when capturing Frigates

    I've started getting this bug too... I didn't identify it with frigates until I read this, but my most recent save, every time I load (it's right before boarding) I beat the enemy really quick and it crashes. Before when it crashed upon capture, I'd reload until it works. now it's not looking...

    What the Hell...

    Dutch is my nationality and I'm sitting in my corvette by Tortuga, waiting for these pirate hacks to get lost so I can dock. All of the sudden the message appears "The Spanish have identified you as the enemy!" Ok....? Suddenly I'm flying the pirate flag and the fort of Tortuga starts...

    Treasure fleet

    It's depressing to have to drop thousands of units of gold on the bottom of the ocean. Too bad you can't tow ships.

    Enemy Health Bar

    That is weird, i thought I had fixed it but now it's gone again. I think this game has trouble remembering things. Who would have thought artificial alzheimers would precede AI.

    City of Abandoned Ships Bugs

    Sometimes when I take the "find the spy" mission from governors, when I talk to people in town I have no way of asking if they are the spy. Other times there is the option. This quest needs to be done away with, it's boring and trivial even when it works. "are you a spy?" "Well uh..." "Come...

    Enemy Health Bar

    it's ticked... I guess something else is messed up in my game, not surprisingly.

    Enemy Health Bar

    I seem to have accidentally turned off the status bar for enemy ships and don't know how to reenable it. I haven't been able to find anywhere in the documentation how to turn it on or off... I kind of like it being off as it adds an air of adventure to capturing enemy vessels but I'd like to...

    Serious Modding Effort

    I hope any grand scale changes will be modular, so players can have as many options as possible when installing it. Maybe someone will only want the bug fixes and corrections, so that should definitely be separate. I realize it seems simple to go through the files and delete the ones you don't...

    Is Peter Blood really "only for an expert"?

    I think when they say Blood is the hardest they mean it is so riddled with bugs you'll be lucky to escape the prologue with your hair intact.

    Mod Ideas

    I just assumed it said "Knife Practice Time" in Russian. Doesn't it?

    Minor Cosmetic Changes

    I wasn't serious about giving up on PotC, no one should abandon their work at the end! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":god2" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> I'm all for a unified modding effort, so the little bit I've contributed so far can be...

    Do I have to restart?

    Sounds like it. I know from changing the prices that they don't take effect until you start a new game.

    Pirate Sails

    Awesome find, thanks! I've wondered about the sail emblems too, haven't even found the texture for them yet...

    Minor Cosmetic Changes

    Well heck, if I'd known that there were already good ones I wouldn't have even bothered! That's really cool though, looking forward to pilfering goodies from PotC to add to COAS. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0"...
