    Cannonade vs Long gun -whats the difference?

    I know there is a difference in price but can any one explain how this translates to a difference in firepower. Is one simply better than the other or do they have comparative advantages/disadvantages? Cheers.

    Alpha 14.4 - Comments/Glitches/Improvements

    Never quite sure where I should post a post like this - sorry if its in the wrong spot. Overall it gets a WOW or a near touchdown (as Mark Holden would say) because of the following: 1. Amazingly stable / Bug free especially its only an Alpha! Really really good effort. 2. Love the new skill up...

    Build 14 Alpha - Have base + 14.3 + 14.4 but not 14.2?

    Looking forward to giving the 14 alpha a go but have been unable to find 14.2. From what I've read I need... 1. Base 14 Alpha (107M) 2. Alpha 14.2 (which I cant find but Pieter says on is site is required before installing 14.3) 3. Alpha 14.3 (which I have) 4. Alpha 14.4 (which I have) Can...

    Sorry a couple more dumb questions...

    Still playing (and very much enjoying B13), but was wondering... 1. Can you disable the main plot - I want to start again and just be a pirate without the plot 2. I'm close to finishing the main plot but have hit a dead end. I've just been reunited with my crew, gone to the tavern, discovered...

    Levelling up - can you change it?

    My skills are almost maxed out so just wondering if there is a file I can tweak so it takes longer to get the necessary experience to level up. Cheers <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

    Some odd things - is it Build 13 specific?

    Been playing B13 (+ update 2) for a week or so and have accumulated over 1m of cash (thanks to the somewhat excessive cash yielded from surrendering captains which I have now fixed this in the code), but have noticed a couple of odd things, these being.... 1) I used to approach Governor's to...

    Surrendering pirates captains give too much dosh

    Just finding that when captains surrender, they give me way too much in cash. At the start they would give me say 10-20K which is nice but now that I have a class 2 frigate, even surrendering class 6 captains have between 50-200K in gold which makes capturing ships the most lucrative form of...

    Bug with Treasure QUest Oxbay

    I found the chest but once I got back to the street level, my character got stuck in the gate. I can go back into the dungeon and walk around but when i try to go back to street level my character cant move. Its like a piece of his clothing got stuck on the iron gate.

    Help / Bugs?

    Hi All, Really enjoying Build 13 but just haveing a few problems: 1. How do you use your spyglass. I know pressing tab brings me to the deck and looking over it a circle appears but I cant seem to zoom in very far (just from left and right mouse button clicking). 2. It seems my officers skills...

    Do you need Build 13 updates on top of Build 13?

    Hi All, Just installed Build 13 (all 367meg of it) a few days ago and boy is it good. Thank you to all who contributed. Akella should give you all at least 50% of the profits it made on POTC for making their broken game so good! Just a question on the Build 13 updates - it appears there are 2...

    Build 13 Beta 5 Bugs

    Apologies if I am posting this on the wrong forum - I looked for the beta bugs forum and this was the closest I could find. Firstly to all those involved, nice work on Beta 5, but I have discovered a few bugs these being: 1. The "OXbay being captured" cut scene happens more than once, and when...

    Starforce - how does it stuff up your pc?

    Hi All, I've been reading from a number of sources that the "Starforce" protection system stuffs up your PC. Can anyone explain to me what it does to the PC and the dangers of playing games that use it to combat piracy? I'm not going to buy AOP as explained in my earlier "Bugs again??" post but...

    Buggs AGAIN????

    I loved POTC with the various builds installed but was angry that so much time and effort went into fixing up the game (and not from the publisher/developer I might add, but from the modding/patching community who received little if anything in the way of compensation for their efforts). POTC...

    Skills and Abilities - which ones do you favour

    I'm starting a new game with the post 12 build + update and was wondering what skills and abilities people focus on first (and why unless its obvious). I realise a part of this will have to do with what kind of pirate you want to be but it would be interesting to hear how everyone "develops"...

    Has anyone put together a list of each Ship's stats?

    I did a search using stats but could only find polls of peoples opinions. By the way I presume the number that appears next to a ship (e.g. 6. Lugger, 4 Fleut etc) is a simple proxy for the ships size. Cheers.

    Where is smuggler's lair again?

    I feel so dumb for asking as I was just there a while ago. I'm sure its on Isla Mulle but cannot for the life of me find it. I'm after the smugglers house which is part of the main mission.

    Help engine.ini or option file missing?

    I installed post 12 build + update and encountered major problems so I uninstalled everything and reinstalled just 12.1 build. However, I cannot seem to access the config to change to full screen + 1024 by 768 pixels? I keep getting this "engine.ini or option file missing". Can anyone help? Cheers.

    Major Problems with post 12 build + update

    First of all the build 12.1 works fine for me, so I upgrade to post 12 build and install the update (5 May 05) and install the cutthroat island music on Pieter's website. All good so far. Then I start a new game, select my character and find myself marrooned on a desert island. Ok so the story...

    I'd forgotten how good this game was.

    Its been a while since I last played it (I think around build 10 or 11 time). So much depth, gorgeous water graphics. And with build 12 it just gets better. Thank you to all you contributed to B12 and Post B12!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"...

    How do you maximise the screen when playing?

    When I play it only seems to fill 75% of the screen so I can still see 25% of the desktop. How do I make it a full screen? Thanks. I do appologise - I've now worked it out. I cant seem to work out how do delete posts otherwise I would have deleted this one.
