    Caribbean Legend general discussion

    I haven't visited this site for more than 10 years! Just bought Caribbean Legend and it made me nostalgic! Good to see you're still afloat. :cheers

    Risen 2: Dark Waters

    I pre-ordered this one and just finished playing it (roughly a total of 40 hours to complete with pretty much all side quests etc completed). I found it really enjoyable and the ending (while a little easy) felt quite satisfying particularly with the final interaction between the characters...

    HELP PLEASE HELP PLEASE !!

    Hi aztec, I'm pretty much running the same spec system as you and I get lockups whenever I'm in a storm (when the character is on foot, not on board the ship). I avoided this by simply not walking around cities in storms (jumping back into the ship if it was raining and then coming out again -...

    New player, old questions

    You can only capture cities that you have been requested to annex, otherwise you just loot them. To capture or loot them, as far as I can remember, you just need to destroy all the turrets. Once they are all gone you've automatically won.

    WOW! What a great game! This newb is excited!

    Hey CF, one of the issues surrounding this game is that it was released well before it was intended to be released. Initially it was going to be "Sea Dogs 2", a sequel to a legendary game from the past. The thing is, Disney was about to release their movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and saw...

    Died Out ? :-S or what ??

    I wondered where that little whipping smiley would come in handy. :P

    Died Out ? :-S or what ??

    Cat pretty much summed it up. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":g1" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> A good way to put you back into perspective is think of when you first heard about PotC. I...

    New player, old questions

    Hi Nefarious, I'm sorry to say that Tortuga hasn't been very popular with the people on this site. A lot of us played Port Royale and quite enjoyed it and found Tortuga to be a watered down version and hence lost interest quite rapidly. That would explain why there's no one with any answers...

    What are RAR files and How do I install them?

    Check out <a href="http://www.rarlab.com/" target="_blank">http://www.rarlab.com/</a> to get a trial copy of WinRAR, it's pretty much the same as WinZip (plus it can handle zip files as well).

    Where is the Black Pearl

    I believe you won't come across the Black Pearl until you've progressed a fair way through the plot. There is a mod that potentially allows you to store ships, but the last time I tried it was crashing the game.

    Free Pirates!

    I wouldn't blame anyone for <i>wanting</i> anything, and if something is no longer available, obtaining a copy of it would seem not to harm anyone since sales would not be affected (since there are no sales). However, no one has the right to simply take something because they want it. That's...

    Free Pirates!

    Sonicsfan, Cat is right, Pirates! is not adandon/free/share or any other type of `you-don`'`t-have`-`to-pay`-`for-it` ware. It'd be great for those who want the games if they were, and so thanks for the link, but it's probably not a good idea to be advertising the piracy of Atari/Firaxis's old...

    A World of Pirates Q&A

    I'm quite getting to enjoy this game, however there is little chance that I will be paying for it once it goes commercial. What it does do, however, is give me a fairly good insight as to what to expect for PotBS (the concepts of the gameplay). And if PotBS graphics and `battle-gameplay` are...

    Screenshots ?

    Alan, I don't recommend going back to Seadogs after PotC. Diehards will tell you how superior it is to PotC, and I'm sure it does outshine PotC in various areas, but its subpar graphics (for today's standards) are just too dull in comparison to PotC. Of course graphics aren't everything, but...

    Researching What Ships are going into POTBS/Join their Forum

    Not only are their `write-ups` well researched, they are also very well written; it's easy to suddenly find you've spent an hour reading about all the various history details. Those guys and gals over at PotBS are sure putting in that little bit of extra effort in every aspect. I'm really...

    Whats the best way to gain experience?

    The biggest ways I gain experience are: 1) As others are saying, sink a big ship (`man-o`-war being the biggest) using a small ship. There's an exploit to make this a lot easier than it seems. If YOU own the `man-o`-war, attack the smallest ship you can find, and board them. Of course...

    A World of Pirates Q&A

    Heh, I'd be a true vet if I got navigational experience on a raft! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> They've upped the cap now to 350 players at a time, and it doesn't...

    Those are awesome shots Rafe! I don't recall the game ever looking that good for me!

    A World of Pirates Q&A

    My biggest gripe (once you actually get into the game) is that there is no illusion. Everyone's talking l337 speak and it's all, "how do I increase this skill" etc. Just a bunch of `level-whoring`, boring people. Not a single sailor among them. All whining for other players to give them money...
