    I created a blog chronicling my adventures. ^_^

    I would update the blog, but I can't finish the mission I"m on because I have no clue what to do next lol. (The log book told me to go to Fort Orange, but when I - finally - found it, it then updated saying that I had missed the ship captained by the son of the moneylender in Willemstad. It...

    So, am I totally screwed on this mission? Lol.

    Port Orange on Jamaica???

    AH, I thought we could capture cities and forts after a certain point in the national quest line. Ah, well. Well, what happened is that I was told to go to Fort Orange to take the son of the moneylender in Willemstad prisoner. However when I finally found the location, my log book updated...

    Port Orange on Jamaica???

    Well, I finally found it. However, my log book now indicates that I "missed" the ship I was supposed to meet. This game really needs to tell you more specifically what exactly it is you're supposed to do. It's one thing when a game is a puzzle to figure out. It's another when it throws you into...

    Port Orange on Jamaica???

    Well, as I'm playing for Spain in the game, I'll make certain to capture it as soon as I can then lol. Thanks. I was looking on the northern side of the western tip of the island because that's what the paper map indicated. I'll try south, though!

    I created a blog chronicling my adventures. ^_^

    I've been looking for a game that combined RPG elements and sailing and naval combat for YEARS so even though thsi game has its issues, I personally can't get enough of it lol.

    Port Orange on Jamaica???

    I've sailed around the ENTIRE ISLAND of Jamaica now, and can't find it. I never get the moor icon.

    The Spanish Inquisitor's quest

    Nevermind. I figured out that I *SPOILERS* ..... ......... ........... ...had to find who was holding him prisoner in town. *END SPOILERS*

    The Spanish Inquisitor's quest

    I'm in Panama and everyone tells me they don't know where the NPC I need to find for the Grand Inquisitor's quest, that they were here and said they'd return but never did and that was a while ago. My log book simply says I must scour the town and surrounding area. I've been everywhere, and...

    I created a blog chronicling my adventures. ^_^

    I love this game so much (due largely to people here having helped me to understand it) that I created a blog dedicated to my adventures in it lol. http://captainbenadventures.blogspot.com/ I must confess first that I did use the F11 console commands to give myself a man-o-war, simply because...

    How do I assign 42 lbs cannons?

    AH, I also figured out that the problem was that the ship I had just captured had no captain. It would seem just transferring sailors (with no officer assigned as captain) isn't allowed. That makes sense, though.

    How do I assign 42 lbs cannons?

    Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Now my question is: how do I transfer crew from one ship to another outside of battle? I have seen how to do this at the conclusion of battles, but only from my ship to ships I defeat. How to I add crew to a companion's ship or another ship in my fleet?

    How do I assign 42 lbs cannons?

    I have a class 3 Galleon now, and I bought some 42 lbs cannons. However, it only lists 12 lbs cannons in my menus, and when I assign cannons to the different sides of my ship it only shows the 12 pounders. How do I use these new cannons? Is it just automatic? Thanks.

    Can't equip or draw sword?

    Ohhh okay. I see now. There's a BUTTON for it. I'm used to games where you just drag or click and it just works lol.

    How do I actually... you know... sail?

    Indeed. I'm taking it nice and slow. I'm finding that it's more of an experience, akin to a simulation, than a game, which is fine by me. It just means I have to climb the learning curve slowly but surely lol.

    How do I actually... you know... sail?

    Thank-you! That will be very helpful advice! :D

    How do I actually... you know... sail?

    Thanks, I'm gradually beginning to comprehend it all. This is like the sailing equivalent of Universal Combat, where it took literal days to sail to another planet lol. I love that, personally. Now I just need to find a way to make some money so I can hire a decent crew and get some supplies...

    How do I actually... you know... sail?

    I finally have a ship. I can turn, but I don't seem to be going forward. How do I actually make the ship move? I don't appear to have a navigator or any other crew members, but I have two characters listed under characters. They don't seem to be available to me when I want to assign them as...

    Can't equip or draw sword?

    Ok, now I'm REALLY confused. I'm well past the initial part during which I THOUGHT I wasn't ALLOWED to equip weapons. But now the walkthrough I'm following on GameFAQs says I should be able to equip weapons, and I still can't. How exactly am I supposed to go about equipping things? Don't I just...

    Can't equip or draw sword?

    Well it turned out that I was SUPPOSED to die there. LOL. I guess that explains it. I had to die and be defenseless in order to continue the story. This game is proving to be extremely tedious and unintuitive so far, but I am willing to endure it all to get out to sea and be a pirate lol. :)
