    Need Help Tweaking or disabling floating goods at sea

    Hey guys, is there a way to tweak the chances for floating goods at sea? Or is it possible to disable it entirely? Because as it is, it happens far too often. To the point that “fishing for cargo” will allow the player to get his hands on lots of goods for free. Minus the piracy. It also is...

    Confirmed Bug Vanderdecken: Teleportation from Isla de Muerta to Jamaica

    I had something happening, where I am not sure if this was a bug or intended. When using the services of Vanderdecken (the shipwright) on the Isla Muerta (ship repair), I teleported directly on deck, ready to leave shore ..... only to realize that my ship was in the Kingston Harbor. So my ship...

    Need Help Upgrading a Manilla Galleon

    I recently purchased a Royal Manilla Galleon that had a max speed of 8.9 knots, despite no speed increasing upgrades in advance. I figured that this was an excellent attribute for such a ship, bought it and wanted to uppgrade it. But when I did so, (adding the higher masts and cotton sails) she...

    Awaiting Info Captains getting swift level ups in a heartbeat

    There appears to be a bug, where all ship captains of my fleet (including myself) level up like crazy, whenever there is a ship with seriously destroyed rigging in the fleet. Typically as a consequence of being dismasted. I assume it has something to do with the repair skill. Going into a loop...

    Getting awarded land as a privateer.

    For some reason I get awarded acres of land right away as a privateer (from the first rank on). Wasn't that supposed to be delayed until the upper ranks? At least as far as privateers are concerned.

    Need Help Where is Emilio Soares?

    I am playing the Captain Blood side quest. Managed to rescue his crew. But Emilio Soares seems to have been swallowed by the ground. I managed to sneak into Santiago with a false flag, found a guy at the the port, who gave me a clue. According to him as well as to the quest book, I should find...

    Being a pirate

    Generally I do like the emphasis of there being various playing styles. Maybe you guys could implement a smuggler playing style in the future. But onto the topic of this thread: Being a pirate is way too easy imho. Fun, but very easy. Especially as you go on. Why is it for example, that I...

    Melee Madness

    Hey guys, have you nerfed the progression of how fast Melee is improving compared to older versions? Because it sure feels like it. Not really a fan of that. Because leveling up in general seems as swift as it always was. Which means that your opposition is scaling with your level, leaving...

    Unconfirmed Bug I am back! And so are some bugs.

    Hi mates! I got around to fire up my ol' lappy and play some much desired POTC Build. I ran the most current installer and unpacked the according archives and then the latest patch on top of it. And something is awry. The flags sometimes randomly change and are not consistent with the...

    Abandoned Order Specific Ship to be Built

    This is also something for B15 Shipyards will have some ships in stock cause they are captured by you or someone else. But most ships which are sold will take time to build. So when buying a ship you have to order it and depending on the size it will take up to several weeks to build the actual...

    Fixed Iron Man Mode: Tiger Statuette gives Acc. bonus

    Hey guys, I encountered another bug. Or probably more like something that slipped your attention when programming. In iron man mode all “unrealistic” ability enhancements by items other than navigational and other tools are meant to be absent. However, the tiger statuette still gives plus 2...

    Tweaking what happens, when the plunder is divided?

    Hey guys, is there an option in the internal settings (or anywhere else) to manage what happens, when the plunder is divided? One of the realities of being a pirate was that purchasing a ship or having it completely repaired was probably never all that viable (if at all). It was either “do it...

    Taking and ruling a colony

    What advantages does one gain, when he chooses to take a colony? Well, tax gold obviously. Is there a way to make theses taxes more profitable other than just raising them? Does the economic strength of the colony influence profitability? And do prolonged high taxes produce any problems? Like...

    Ship Encounters and other stuff on world map

    Is there a way to make ship encounters on the world map mandatory again (like they were in the stock game)? It's kinda lame if you run into something, that you can simply tip-toe out of it by choosing not to encounter it. Also - does it even matter what kind of ship you have on the world map and...

    Bug Buggy Mess

    Yikes, oh the bugs! Hi there – I lately got around to play a bit of POTC again. So I installed it's latest edition (completely a new installment – including the stock game) and over the course of several games ran into a few oddities, that seemed to stack up the longer I played any given...

    Fixed Infinite crew to hire

    Hey guys, I encountered a little bug. I was in the tavern on the pirate settlement on Hispanola. I looked to add to my crew. For some reason I could keep going (simply by asking the tavern keeper again), even though the counter for available sea men was already -6. So it seems that one can hire...

    Need Help Governor Quest Problem

    Hi there, I lately found some time to play some Build again, downloaded the latest version and now I ran into a rather annoying problem. I took another governor quest in St. Martin and was ordered to find and defeat a little 12- or 16-gunner. By the time I circumnavigated the island without...

    Queen Anne's Revenge

    I was looking through the ships in the game and realized that you guys have the Queen Anne's Revenge implemented .... as a pirate galleon. But the Queen Anne's Revenge in reality was a fleuyt. And since fleuyts are in the game, I was wondering why you made it a galleon. Another thing: xebecs...

    Out of the six eras available in Build: Early Explorers The Spanish Main Golden Age of Piracy Colonial Powers Revolutions Napoleonic ... which one is your favorite to play? Or if you don't want to be that specific ... do you prefer the early, middle or later time periods? I am not...

    Is there somewhere a list or any comparable way to get an overview about which ships are used/can be found in the various eras?
