    Help with forts, plz

    I used to be able to take forts quite easily. I stopped playing some time ago when patch 1.42 was released. The way I did it was with a MoW, Warship and Lineship. I had the other ships there to prop up my landing force before I realised you could sneak in to town and do the same, which I think...

    Mission mods

    Hi guys, Anyone out there working on expanding on the missions you get offered? By the public I mean rather than governers and traders. Getting a little tired of the 'take me here', 'escort me there' and 'get me some slaves' missions. How about some combat oriented ones. Perhaps a coastal...

    Bountyhunters

    After staying away from the game for a month or so I find that patch 1.5 has been released so decide to install and take a look over some of the files. I find one called bountyhunters.c. However it looks like PlayLogic were sticking their fingers in where they aren't wanted as it appears its...

    Patch 1.43 Update info from Muldini

    I just tried to get in to the Playlogic AoP forum and its locked down, for moderators only. It was working late last night. I wonder if they have had some abuse and they are tidying up. Regarding the 1.43 patch, I just did a fresh install. I have recently upgraded to a new rig and haven't touch...

    Issues with 1.42 patch

    The thing I find particularly disgusting about this is, and I quote the release notes: Updates and Fixes 2. Bug fixing has been performed across the more prominent gameplay issues. Okay, you might think. That sounds good until you then read this on the Playlogic forums in the thread announcing...

    Issues with 1.42 patch

    Or should I say things that have not been fixed. The problem with the game crashing when you board a ship is still there. I stopped playing on the 17th September because of this and unbelievably its still there. Every time it happened to me since upgrading to 1.42 is when a ship surrenders and...

    DirectX8!!???

    It doesn't install DX8, it just says it is using DX8 functions I guess. Even if it did use all of DX9 functionality I'm not sure how they could improve on the visuals any. Speedwise its smooth as glass on my rig.

    Is there any way to decrease the number of chasing pirates?

    An easy way to get rid of unwanted guests is to hit F3 as soon as they are in range. You will be out of their reach and able to engage or sail away again by pressing F3 once more. One less pirate fleet. Very easy to do but a bit lame but sometimes I just can't be arsed to take on a single sloop...

    My First Impressions of the Game

    I was making 200-300,000 trading Cinnamon from Montserrat to the western most Spanish ports whose name escapes me for the moment.

    Colonies

    I found that with only 2 Lineships I did not have enough to capture the Tortuga fort. I found that it dropped by about 300-500 soldiers after the bombardment. Sail away for a few days and come back and it will drop a lot more. Maybe down to 900 total but still too many. Go away for a about 4...

    The Manual

    It also mentions that you can soften up forts with Grape after you destroy the required amount of cannon. Nope, can't do that either. For instance, Tortuga will fall when it has 11 cannon left of a total of 22. But if you don't have enough soldiers to take it, can you continually pound it with...
