<!--QuoteBegin-Koor+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Koor)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->But doesnt that ruin the city after you've captured it? nothing will spawn in it anymore, so if you capture a city it ceases to function.. no more shops or anything.. am I wrong?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

IIRC, any captured city is empty for two game weeks, then repopulates and continues as normal (which also means it can be recaptured). Sacking a town doesn't <i>permanently</i> empty the town of inhabitants, it just scares them away for a bit.
 
The fort and the town goes back to normal after about two weeks in game time, so you can raid it again. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" />

The explanation for this being that the townsfolk have run and are hiding somewhere on the island, and after you leave they go back to their town.

A lot of people have wanted to have a mod where you can take over a town for the European powers, like in Pirates!, or for the pirates like in Cutthroats.
 
Spousal problems?

I've been looking through the forum for different posts about the mod in build 11 that lets you get married, and I've been having what seems like a problem that I haven't seen mentioned.

I've reloaded to test this, just to make sure it wasn't a `one-time` thing, but no matter what I say to a prospective wife--including a proposal--after we've finished (be it "conversation" or "a wonderful day and night"after getting hitched), she <i>always</i> says something like, "If you must go, I'll always remember our time together." Even my character's <i>wife</i> only says this.

I've heard mention of mistresses and other things, and gaining experience/reputation by talking to spouses, but every time I get introduced to a niece or daughter, if I don't marry her on the spot, she disappears the next time I go into the mansion. I'm not sure if it's broken, but mine doesn't seem to be working the way others have described. Any ideas on what it could be?

Nope, I've never seen any of those, whether I've married the woman or not. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

On top of that, my rumors have vanished. Everyone I talk to now says the exact same thing. "Nothing interesting happens lately. Life goes on smoothly. I wonder how long that'll last!" I've noticed that on my friend's game (same computer, just different save files), he still gets different rumors, so something must have happened in my game to change it.
 
Probaly <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> I wish i knew how ta help ya.

<!--QuoteBegin-Obsidian+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Obsidian)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I'm having a small problem. I can't `re-equip` my hired officers <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I'm not sure what you mean by `re-equip`.

Do you mean giving them better swords and pistols? If so, you can do that via the "enter" key on your keyboard. Face them and hit enter, you'll see a set of icons come up - the mouth means talk, and the arrows mean exchange items. If you hit the arrows icon you will be able to give your officers new swords and pistols, and health potions which they will automatically use if they get injured.

NOW, if you mean getting your new officers to join you on boarding parties and onshore, you need to use the F2 menu and go into "Passengers". There you will see your compliment of officers (and passengers), and your pic and three other spaces. If there is anyone in the spaces that you don't want in there, just highlight his/her pic by clicking on it and then hit the button that says "Remove Officer". To add an officer to an empty spot (or replace him with another), highlight the large pic location at the bottom by clicking it once. Then go to the scroll of passengers/officers and find the person you want to put in the spot you've highlighted. Click on their centered portrait TWICE - that should get them into the boarding/shore party slot.

Hope this helps! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Oh, the custom <i>skins</i> that you buy in the tailor's shops? You should be able to give those to your officers as well. Just talk to them, select "About you...", then select "You need a better uniform." That will allow you to select for your officer any 'outfit' that you've gained or purchased from tailor's shops.
 
F2 grayed out issue

I posted this in the bugs section as well, but I think it may be something to do with Build 11. Hence the double post.
The screen that usually comes up when I hit F2 is no longer around. It was when I first loaded up POTC - then I installed the full build 11 and messed around with that for a bit. However, I decided to uninstall ALL of POTC and reinstall it to a totally different directory. I want to try the game in it's original format first.
I have tried resetting keys to default and such. In the control mappings screen, it is dulled out (F2 is still assigned). I even reinstalled to a different hard drive and it seems stuck on dull mode. Did the build 11 change my registry?
Thanks in advance
 
hi guys !
Please excuse my poor english.
First of all thanks a lot for the great mod !
Now it s a hundred times better and a totaly different game.
But i have a few problems :
- My game language changed to english... It s not a problem at all for me but it could be for many non english players <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Still it s understandable if you cannot change anything about this
- i have the french version of the game so I had trouble with feats (or perks) you can choose every level. I used to be able to click on them to select them now I cant. I even had trouble just choosing them until I found out this problem was known <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> and needed to use spacebar <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />)
- the game seems much easier than it was before I understand there are some difficulty settings but they dont seem to change much.
- in concern to perks and difficulty : it seems the major problem with difficulty seems to be perks. In fact when I find a new officer he comes with all his perks not choosen ! That s allright with me allowing to select which ones I need but seems odd. And now is the real problem when I capture an ennemy captain and look at his abilities he too doesnt have one perk selected ! Meaning that even with high skills they are just too weak ! So It seems to me it was not intended ! May be you could fix it ? May be it is related to the fact that in french version you used to select perks with cliks ?
- last question : did you change the AI ? It seems to me that my orders are not really followed by my other ships anymore.

Thanks.
Bobil.

Umm... thar still be plenny o' `un-fixed` build 11 bugs already in dis thread, Nathan! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Should Fred Bob root out all his bugs an' paste dem in de udder thread? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Today i saw two bugs:
1. When i came to QC Artois fight (with sword) against Nigel Blythe (without sword). The HP of Nigel didn't go lower and Artois keep fighting him. And my PC didn't move, i think because Nigel suppose to talk to him but he just stand there.
So i loaded a Save, but who do i suppose to do when i'll really need to go there.
2. I Saved in Redmond port, near the ship. When i tried to board my ship the game crashed. Now i can't leave Redmond.
Anyone else had those bugs?

you should press the 'i' key on loading your savegame, every time you install any new mod. the new build 11 interfaces don't require you to start a new game but you do have to press 'i' `in-game` <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

the problem is that translating the whole build would be a <b>big big</b> undertaking. and it also requires a very basic knowledge of programming...

yeh, that does need sorting...

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->- the game seems much easier than it was before I understand there are some difficulty settings but they dont seem to change much.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

they change the number of enemies you encounter, their hp and their skills. quests and boardings are much much harder on the higher difficulty levels. one of the things that makes the game too easy, admittedly, is the number of swords and items you get when you defeat enemies / board ships...

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->And now is the real problem when I capture an ennemy captain and look at his abilities he too doesnt have one perk selected !

a fundamental problem is that the enemy captains don't <i>use</i> the perks, even if they have them. i have never looked at the ai so i don't even know if it's possible to do anything about that...
