    Ships with lighting on the wrong side

    Can someone tell me the ship models that have lighting issues? It's my recollection that people have created new ships, but they were unhappy because, especially at night, the light would shine on the side of the ship directly opposite to the light source. I'm theorizing that this can be fixed...

    Governor's Daughter

    I was thinking about this the other day, did anyone ever marry one of the "least attractive" governor's daughters? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> I may have to go and play again, and do this just to...

    The House of Mateus Santos Redux

    <img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/332ZK34H/884418.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> I am the greatest director in the history of film, Siegfried Von Roysenstein, and yes, I do always have a lugger stuck in my ear! Long have I seen this work, The House of Mateus Santos, and wondered, why...

    Guy Fawkes Day

    Ran across this a few days ago, and it occurred to me that, other than perhaps Halloween, Guy Fawkes Day has got to be a celebration with a strong appeal for pirates; what other holiday do you ask people to give you money and candy, and if they don't comply you get to do nasty things to them...

    AI, Aye-aye!

    I've been finding the AI in POTC very intriguing of late, and thought I'd start a thread to discuss the things that I've noticed and hopefully hear what anomalies other people have run across. I want to stress that I don't consider the game's AI buggy, I'm more interested in gaining a better...

    The Mary Rose

    Unable to get to PA, and unwilling to make myself useful at work, I came across a site I thought was pretty neat about the Elizabethan Age warship, The Mary Rose. <a href="http://www.maryrose.org/lcity/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www.maryrose.org/lcity/index.htm</a> One of the things I...

    Bill and Ted's "Excellent" Adaptation

    There are seven deadly sins and I am tolerably well acquainted with most of them, but if there are two that I truly have to answer for, more than the others, they are Greed and Sloth. While playing Build 11, I happened to come across an "Excellent" Blade, and being inclined as I am towards...

    Build 12 Readme, question thread

    I'm starting to get the Readme for Build 12 together and I wanted to start this thread so I can post questions on any features that I am unclear about and also use it as an opportunity to give everyone a basic idea of what I'm trying to do. The Build 12 Readme will identify all of the new mods...

    Boarding Leverage

    I have been reading in other threads about people being overwhelmed by enemy swordsmen during Boarding Actions and there's a trick I figured out, I'm sure a lot of others have as well, whereby, at least on the first deck, you can even the odds quite a bit no matter what level you are playing at...

    ... but I find Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro, don't you?

    <img src="http://www.legends.dm.net/art/swordfight350.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> I love those Colophon sites like the one Commander William Wallace found on Grace O'Malley, and this one touches upon a subject near and dear to my heart; Swordplay! <a...

    Something Esquemeling bad to you?

    Here's a link I came across to what was once considered the definitive work on piracy in the Americas: <b>The BUCCANEERS of AMERICA</b> by JOHN ESQUEMELING (cough*Defoe cough*) Containing also Basil Ringrose's account of the dangerous voyage and bold assaults of Captain Bartholomew...

    Clear your POTC Clutter

    Pack rat that I am in real life, this may seem a strange "fix" coming from me, but I have read many complaints about the various main quest articles that you acquire, and then can never get rid of, and I believe I have struck upon a novel way of relieving oneself of Rheim's Journal, the letter...

    Interesting Master and Commander Site

    <img src="http://www.geocastle.com/kitimat/clients_kitimat/nechako/new/Master%20and%20Commander.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Here's a link to a site with (among other things) some interesting material on some of the battles in the Master and Commander series of books.

    Where in the world is Edgar Atwood?

    I'm doing a "Where's Waldo" search for Edgar Atwood, can someone point me towards the right island to locate him on? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Thanks and here's rum to...

    Wanted: One Mysterious Monk, preferably on Redmond Isle

    I've finally decided that I've gone far enough in my current game of POTC, with Build 11, to try and figure out just exactly what those strange monks are doing in the archipelago. I talk with a monk on Conceicao and obtain a cross from him, then I go to Oxbay and get another cross from the...

    Diplomacy

    Has anyone ever played the computer version of the game Diplomacy? I've seen it on sale for ridiculously low prices, but I cannot get myself to purchase it. The main reason for my reluctance is because I have played the board game with a bunch of people, and had a great deal of fun playing...

    There Once was a Pirate from Limerick...

    If Robert Shaw and James Earl Jones, in the movie, <u><b>Swashbuckler, </b></u> are to be believed, then the limerick is the favored verse form of pirates and buccaneers, so I'm starting a thread for limericks and looking forward to seeing what shows up. I'm going to start the thread with a...
