Button mashing only works if you're facing a lousy opponent. Against a strong one you do need to block and parry appropriately or you'll get gutted <i>very</i> quickly. Personally I like this system better than the simplistic POTC one, but it does take some practice given the rather complicated controls.

Sorry, it impossible <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> But I think it can be adapted

Here's the answer one of the member group BMS
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Patch 1.2.3 has only Russian-language edition of the texts and descriptions of characters and objects/items and will not work correctly with the English version.
I believe for its successful use in the game requires adaptation (translation and maybe change some scripts).

In addition, the Russian version use a different system of protection. I think install the patch with English version "as is" not possible.</div>

Pieter Boelen · May 20, 2009

I imagine that if the patch has a PROGRAM folder, then it shouldn't be too hard to WinMerge it to be compatible with the Western release and translate the new text included.

You might be able to tell from your enemy, but then you only have a split second to respond.
Of course it's probably like that in a real-life swordfight too.
Truth be told, I don't quite understand how anyone can do fencing and hold off another's attacks for a lot period of time.
To me it seems like there'd be a high level of chance involved, though I strongly suspect I am very much wrong on that.

I don't know why people are having difficulties playing this game at Sailor difficulty since it is actually pretty easy. I only play action games in the easiest difficulty since I suck at playing these games.

The only times I have lost a fight were when I got into my first fight and didn't block at all and when I went into the cave and got overwhelmed by 6 or 7 skeletons. In my first sea battle I took out the pirates sails then boarded them and took out the 5 pirates that were attacking me by myself. I lost all of my crew (I didn't really arm them too well) but was able to get back to my home city but because of that I couldn't keep my old ship. (the new one was far better)

PS. A couple tips for fighting is to block and attack like what was said above but also don't be afraid to drink a potion when you get low on health. (you can find a lot by either robbing peoples houses, off dead bodies, or in chests in caves and ships. Oh and rob all the houses (and shops) in the cities (if you don't have a problem with it) since you can get a lot of money. (especially at the beginning when you need it) When you go into the house a person may be there so wait till the person goes and does something turning his back on you then steal the stuff from the chests.
