COAS Information

Hi,

Just had word from Seaward that CoAS is ready now for release, apart from the fact the western publisher Playlogic are dragging their heels paying for the translation.....so I guess we keep on waiting till whenever they cough up the pennies <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> .

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
damski.
 
*starts looking for somewhere that sells Playlogic voodoo dolls* <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I'll make 'em speed up somehow!
 
Just use a muppet doll Stallion, it's about right for them <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> .
 
Damned Playlogic. They are major buttheads. If they'd release this month, they'd get a much better selling season. Even with all the blockbusters set to come out this month.

They need to get out there and advertise.

I will tell you folks one thing for sure, I may not read very good russian, but I finally scraped up a copy. Got some of it translated to english myself and as long as I don't try to complete storylines or do anything without saving first, its a top notch game.

Ships don't have the upgradeable hulls or sails that I've been able to find, but you can easily change the cannon/culverine you use by just removing the old guns, buying new ones and mounting them up.

Ships have very variable stats.

Accidentally shooting an ally can cause true chaos to ensue.

Hand to hand combat is MUCH more fun now. You have thrusts, slashes, heavy swings, feints, dodges and blocks that can be used. 3 different classes of weapons and a very nice range of blades and guns to choose from.

Boarding decks are all new.

And thats just touching on the little bit I've been able to fully figure out.

This one is worth the wait folks. Believe me!

One man in Game, can increase (20%) stats of ships (1 times for one ship). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Not at this point. It has already been stated that files to allow modding will be released later on down the line.

Exactly when has not been mentioned yet, but eventually it is supposed to happen.

When that game comes out in english I hope I have new computer by then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> I would really like to play a PotC/Sea Dogs like game. Good thing it has updated graphics. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> By the way while watching a trailer of that game I noticed that player character had a white clothing on him and other part of the video he wore some kind of pirate captain's clothing.. does that mean you can change what you wear in that game? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> And nomore plastic surgery just to change yer outfit? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
3 Different main characters. Each with different looks. 1 of them looks like the version we have from the original seadogs in POTC. One of them is a gent in a red suit and boots and the last fellow is a spaniard in a funky white suit.

There are three character classes. Merchant, Explorer and Corsair.

Each character class has its own group of quests. Not that I know what they are as those are all in files I don't have access to yet.

Each of the character models has thier own quests. The char that looks like the original character is the Captain Blood story line.

Fellow in the red is an apprentice type story it seems.

Don't know about the spaniard as I haven't played him yet.

......

Lets see... There are three things that each gain XP independently. Your personal/melee group set, your ship/marine skill set and your main character level.

Ship class you can captain without detriment is based on main character level.

You skills are divided according to personal/melee and ship/marine. Each of the skill classes has some familiar and some new skills in them.

NPC Officers with the right skills can act in the capacity of up to 3 positions aboard ship.

To capture a ship, you need not only an available officer to captain her, but enough crew to sail her AND the old ship. If you are missing either, your only choice is to swap ships and send the one you don't keep to davy jones after looting everything.

Exchanging gear with your officers is kind of a pain, as you MUST have the officers you plan to exchange with in your melee party. Then you have to speak with them to get access to thier inventory.
And finally they are kind of greedy and will only give up thier old gear if given something they perceive as better than what they have. Kind of like POTC's officers when it was originally released.

Most of the Spanish main, caribbean islands and southern US is included with cities. Islands can be pretty good sized with up to 6 or more land map sections making up the entire island.

Apparently some of the story lines do involve undead and some other non-historical bits. But from what I can tell so far, you can pretty much ignore the quests entirely if you really want to.

Again I can't tell for sure since most of the important text files I would need to translate and really know what is going on are all in hidden files.

Hope that gives you all some more nice little teasers about what is coming up.

Cool. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> And are the ships looking good? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
The map sounds bigger than anything we've seen before, sounds exciting. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Indeed. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Sounds like the game-play is much better then AOP.

These things are on my wish list and wonder if any of it is done in COAS.

- I like to hear the waves break against island shore/rocks.
- Ship sails to blow with the wind direction
- Moor and row in small party
- In bigger ports sail up to slips and dock
- Time of day pass in real-time with changing sky.

Most of these are just annoyances in AOP and not that important to game play but the sails luffted against the wind is bothersome. Positioning your ship for battle feels all wrong with the sails blown the wrong way. This is a point of frustration. Also real-time passage of the sky may not seam like much until you have a sunset battle where the sun never sets. Another thing stores don't open until morning so if you are at port at sunrise the stores will never open unless you go out and back in again. Silly.

Have any of my wishes come true?
 
Thanks for the info Cap'n_Drow! I am really chomping at the bit to get my hands on this game!
