A couple of interesting bugs

[jwfrost]

I've found that often during a sea battle if I'm in a bit of trouble or I don't really feel like fighting (if I'm escorting a small ship etc) if I talk to the enemy ships, select the "offer gold" option but then select no - they often change their status to white/neutral anyway and I can go back to the map.

Also very bizarrely - I currently have 2 Warships and a Ship of the Line and they seem to accumulate sailcloth daily... and I mean thousands-millions of units (so the ships are overstocked something like this 453356631/4235. I can sell this at stores each day and get around 30000-40000 coins, but occaisionally I find a store that can also be overstocked and when I sell him sailcloth at 5 or 6 coins a unit I can get upto 450000 coins in one transaction, go to the tavern for the night and repeat. It's a bit annoying cos I loved making a good profit by smuggling, and now I dont have to <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Some bugs from my gameplay (I'm rank 42, 10 in luck, playing SuperMod, update 3):

1. After rank ca 20 (12 mission, captain) my dutch governor stoped paying me, and no more missions.
2. At same time everybody stoped give me missions.
3. Shopkeeper in Isle Mona gave me a delivery to a city I was hostile to.

I got bored and started the main story. Captured my first colony. Got just one MoW at that point.

4. Cant enter Brittish colonies, even as rascal. Fort dont open fire, but soldiers in town attacks and cant enter buildnings.
5. Shipyards only builds MoW <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
6. I'm ending up batteling MoW, even small ship at the map are MoW. Every battle is MoW! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
7. Every offiser lvl like rabbits. So one time it was so many in "my cabin" that someone got "pushed out". After talking to everybody the exit was still locked. Had to use a savegame from way back <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />

So now I got fleet of MoW. On ship of 20 are something different then MoW. Boring....
Got 6 colonies by now, and sold one MoW so I'm constently are capturing a new one. At least 150K after each battle.

8. Now I get some escort mission, pays about 150K, but only 1 (one) day deadline.

"Normal" bugs:

- Smuglers have no room in hull. TIP: buy something from them, and then U can sell them goods
- Wind turns different from Seamap to 3D-battle view.
- Ships changes possision. Example: Im clearly behind the enemy and with the wind in my back in Seamap view. After F3 I have the wind towards me and the enemys as well!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> Even better: all 4 MoW have their shipside towards me, 4 times 102 cannonballs and my little frigat is sinking <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
- Some of my ships "generates" goods on their own.

Thats about it, I belive.
For now...

PS nov 29th-06:
- It's popping up a screen that I cant read. I can see "Governor Message" and a country (Holland, Spain...) But the rest is rubbish. Forgot to translate from russian?
- A smal screen pops up, telling me that my colony BlaBla is under attack by a country. The fort vil hold til this date (20-40 days in the future). Twise it has happend that the very next ingame day, I lost my colony <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" /> Three times it has occured that it has no date...
- One time I was picking up roumers that "the Dutch was attacking the English colony of BlaBla". But... But... Thats my colony! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> So I speed over there and had to fight back the Dutch... No pop-up screen...
