Lastest Stable Release: Build 13 Final
Latest Playable Alpha: Build 14 Alpha 10

Installation and Gameplay Tips:
- If you have a memory.mp file in your main game folder, remove it to improve game performance.
- If you have Windows Vista, DON'T install the game to Program Files; security measures tend to prevent the modpack from installing correctly
Install to, for example, C:\Games\Pirates of the Caribbean instead
- Check out the controls in buildinfo\Default Key Assignments.txt

The following are required for the Build 14 Beta:
- Only start a new game if you have just started the game. If you were playing another game before, close the game first before starting a new game.
- Don't change any options while you have a game loaded.
- !!!SAVE OFTEN!!!

The game tends not to work if:
- You have an Intel Onboard Graphics Card [workaround with Swiftshader Software Rendering - [url="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//topic/12795-cant-start-game-d/page__view__findpost__p__313453"]more info[/url]]
- Sometimes if you have Nero Burning ROM installed (get a "debugger" error message)
- You use ffdshow and don't have the game added to your "exception list"

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 6 Update 2 [39,3 MB]</b></i>
This is based on Alpha 6, but contains some more stuff. Released a few days after the Alpha 6 Update and does work better. I don't think it actually works better than Alpha 6 though.

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 7 Missing Files</b></i>
No longer available.

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 7 Plus</b></i>
This is an add-on for Alpha 7 containing more new stuff. Might be better than Alpha 7, but not exactly brilliant. [<b><a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=10988&view=findpost&p=215124" target="_blank">More Information</a></b>]

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 8 WIP 1</b></i>
This contains most of the new stuff and is said to actually work reasonably well. But still far from being brilliant. And the installation process is rather complicated. It does contain the "Capture Colonies" mod that allows you to capture a colony after attacking the fort. [<b><a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=11101&view=findpost&p=219958" target="_blank">More Information</a></b>]
Available from PotC Build FTP only.

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 8 WIP 2 MAXIMUS</b></i>
This was released a few weeks ago and contains almost all latest mods of Maximus' and several other modders. It contains the Curse of the Black Pearl film quest by Bartolomeu o Portugues and Short Jack Gold. [<b><a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11852" target="_blank">More Information</a></b>]
Available from PotC Build FTP only.

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 8 WIP 2 PIRATE_KK</b></i>
This was released shortly after the Maximus version as an additional download to that. It does not contain Maximus' latest code, but does contain Pirate_KK's latest code and some additional mods for that. Mods included are an updated "Capture Colonies" mod, the "Selectable Storylines" mod (support for multiple main quests!) and the Periods mod. It also contains the first version of the new Bartolomeu o Portugues main quest and different soldier skins for different periods by Thomas the Terror.

<i><b>Build 14 Alpha 8</b></i>
It's been a long time since the last real Alpha, but I am pleased to announce that Build 14 Alpha 8 is finished and available for download.
As per usual, there's a fair amount of bugs in there, but hopefully the amazing new features make up for that.
Personally I even found this version to be pretty playable.
I made sure this would be an easy install so that anyone would be able to test this one. Enjoy! [<b><a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=12078" target="_blank">More Information</a></b>]

This is an update for Build 14 Alpha 8 and is intended for development and testing purposes.

I'm very seriously considering unpinning this topic, because I can't be bothered keeping it up-to-date anymore.

Errrrrr...Don't get mad. Before you jump ship on this, have you withdrawn the B14 alpha 10 as it gives this on the download pages, [light and full] >>>>>>> The file you are trying to view (Build 14 Alpha 10 Full - b14_alpha10_full.exe) uploaded by Pieter_Boelen has been deleted and is no longer available. This may have occured at the uploaders request, or it may have occured because it violated the sites Terms of Use. If this is a mistake and you are the uploader of this file and would like it re-activated, please contact us with the details.>>>>>> Is there another mirror available or has the project sunk/jumped to build15 and I missed it? You can be forgiven not bothering after getting on for 400,000 posts. Real sailing's a lot simpler. Regards, Brian.
 
The above information is outdated. See www.moddb.com/mods/new-horizons for all the good stuff.

That's the reason why I want to unsticky this; it's easier to maintain the correct information when it's in one spot instead of all over the place. :facepalm
