    Disappearing Money

    Captain Frosty, this was a good tip, thx. I had not noticed some of the extra tabs on the log book or in some of the other interfaces. I can say that interest payments certainly are working now. My new theory is since I hadn't visited that tab of the log book, the money lenders thought they...

    Dumb A.I.

    Ah, ok. Thanks Fred Bob. I wanted to play it first time through vanilla...the mods I see look great tho. Probably load them and start again on higher difficulty once I tire of this. :onya2 Bored at work today, If you get a min...run down all those shrimp dishes you know again :wink:

    Dumb A.I.

    Landlubber - sure enjoyed this post :lol: While I haven't had that exact issue, I can relate. Mostly, my fleet ships are so slow that they just clap and cheer while I board the enemies. I did have one time that my MOW AI somehow managed to sink itself, with no enemy even nearby. Not sure if...

    Del Rosario broken

    Hmm, sorry then. The only other thing I can think of that possibly you haven't tried is refitting with lower caliber cannons. I'm curious if it still shows blown when you do that.

    Del Rosario broken

    Do you have enough extra cannons onboard of the same size to remove/refit them and have every slot fitted with a new cannon? This is how you normally repair them...the blown cannons just disappear. From the ship screen (while not in combat), double click the cannons to goto a detail of the ship...

    Just got out of the Barbados, need lots of help

    I'll take my poke at adding to these. 1. It's probable you are not reading the matrix right. In my game the english start at war with both Dutch and Spanish. Getting the other nation's flags was the first few ship perks I spent (to avoid encounters I did not want) since I had officers at every...

    Guide The tips thread

    Different items do stack (you will see the +s increase on your stat page). However, you will soon run into what I'm experiencing that your skills are high enough that the +s do nothing. Seems 100 is the max or at least interface does not show that you can exceed it. So if your authority is 90...

    So what Fleet are you rolling with?

    I agree with Frosty. I ahven't bought a single ship in the game. I use boarding tactics all the time (max perks--musket fire rocks--almost never sink a ship with cannons) and have extra officers just to captain the captured vessles. Don't forget to remove their cannons and sell those separately...

    So what Fleet are you rolling with?

    Curious from the experienced players, what ships do you roll with in your fleet? I recently got the Dog of War (COAS quest ship) and it has put me in a delimma. I'd like to limit my fleet to 3 active ships (so I have 2 slots to capture enemies that have good cargo). Then last night I ran into a...

    Disappearing Money

    Well, I went back to Port Royal after doing the COAS quest and the bugger tells me, "here is your 5,850,000" again. /sigh :ok 99.5% sure I bumped it to 6mil last time it was short, but I did withdraw it again this time so no note in the log. This time I wrote down 6mil, the exact date I put...

    Disappearing Money

    I suspect now that Handel is correct (when is he ever wrong?!?!) in saying that I lost track of how much I really had deposited. Money just comes so easy once you have a fast ship that can hold 200+ crew to assist in boarding. I'll keep a closer eye on it going forward and advise.

    City of Abandoned Ships Quest (Spoiler Alert!)

    I have a theory on this part of the quest. Basically, my theory is it is a movie and you really can't do anything other than wait the 10-15 min until the devs decided you should get pushed toward the spot you need to go. :shrug This is because the waves push you so hard (sometimes 100-200 ft...

    City of Abandoned Ships Quest (Spoiler Alert!)

    Nice pic! So what's your theory FredBob? Many people are saying they found it on other boats, in other places...

    Swimming in COAS turns me GREEN

    It did get much better once the storm settled...or maybe it was just this cold that came on. Anyway, <CTR> doesn't seem to allow me to look left and right while swimming (allows up and down), but that was very helpful while walking in the dive suit so thanks much. Actually I don't get sea sick...

    City of Abandoned Ships Quest (Spoiler Alert!)

    I also want to try to describe the underwater area (kinda hard as no compass), as I reloaded a few times to before putting the suit on and the chests were always in the same places with the same loot (seem static). I hear the gear will be in a random place though. After a few recons, I was able...

    City of Abandoned Ships Quest (Spoiler Alert!)

    I want to thank everyone for the helpful tips and strategies...almost done with this quest! In that spirit, I'd like to share a few more tips that hopefully will be helpful to those that come after... 1. I highly recommend the ladder trick (see this thread and others). Finding the Admiral's key...

    Disappearing Money

    Can you list the 5 safe cities plz? This incident in Port Royal happened after I noticed twice that not as much money as I thought I had put in St.John (I think--notes at home) was there to be withdrawn. It wasn't 0 tho...just about 5-10% less than I deposited.

    Swimming in COAS turns me GREEN

    I have a friend that is really sensitive to camera movements and complains he gets sick (dizzy) playing games like GTA, etc. Normally, it doesn't bother me at all but I do find in COAS (the quest city) I have to take breaks or I start getting queasy :yes Especially swimming. Whoever design...

    Disappearing Money

    Ok, I already have far more money than I'll ever need, but it is upsetting me that when I put money with a lender it doesn't seem to all be there some months later. I *thought* PORT ROYAL would be safe--think I read somewhere that only the main city for a faction is safe from being robbed (and...

    Recruit captured crew

    I have read that only Corsair can take jungle settlements, but cannot confirm. Sry Edit - also read that its pretty hard to hold settlements once you take them (constant assault by the prior owner). Not sure if you planeed to hold all those cities you take or not.
