Cool thing is you can play Corsairs3 in english after you apply the patch <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> and it sux so far.
 
you have it Ravenheart ?

If you do plz tell us more about it <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
No i don't have it(yet) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> but i read alot of comments in a site i visit where most people have it. English is easy to apply, just find in RESOURCE\INI\texts a language file(i think its called language.ini) and find line:

;
; ini file for language information
;
[COMMON]
;defaultLanguage = English
defaultLanguage = russian
;defaultLanguage = french
;defaultLanguage = german
;defaultLanguage = spanish

Change it to:

;
; ini file for language information
;
[COMMON]
defaultLanguage = English
;defaultLanguage = russian
;defaultLanguage = french
;defaultLanguage = german
;defaultLanguage = spanish

And you have english(works only after you apply the official patch from akella). As for the gameplay, most people there aren't pirates and don't enjoy a pirate game as we do but all their comments describe what i imagine the game would be, graphics like PotC, missions like Pirates! (randomly generated and boring after time), some said they wanted a main story like in PotC and better AI for the dumb pirates <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . Anyway haven't played the game myself yet(i will probably in a few days) but the response so far ain't pretty good(even from some of the more elite gamers on that site).

PS.Hope i haven't made alot of spelling misstakes.

well lets see if its as fun as Pirates! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I know sid meier pulled it off good, shure missions are pretty much similar and its the same thing over and over but somehow its always just as fun <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Remember also that Playlogic's asked some changes to the game for the international version, so it will not be exactly the same as Corsairs3. Let's hope that that means that there will be a bit more variance to the missions...
 
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->well lets see if its as fun as Pirates!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

it's nowhere near as fun
 
lol

good to see an official date though <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
could some give me the system requirments for this game, what graphics card i need and stuff i doubt it will work on my pc.
 
I just played Age of Pirates <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> , so far its cool(has some minor glitches but that may be cuz of the english work-around). The sea itself(in battle mode) is just a bit better than in PotC(has a more realistic feeling for color and density), i have some critics over anti-aliasing, cities are smaller than in PotC but with the same level of quality. World map sailing is like in PotC only the view distance between the camera and your model ship is bigger(islands look smaller) the model ship itself looks more realistic(like a long corvette), sea battles are the same, only now if they hit you they can disable a few cannons. Boarding is still not balanced (you can take over a corvette with a small fishing boat), boarding starts on a deck of a ship(either yours or enemy ones, dunno yet) when the deck is clear you go to the captains cabin and start a fight with the enemy captain(like normal sword fights but they wanted to get the Sea Dogs boarding feel). Town movement is the same as PotC(we still have the "TRAVEL" feature), haven't played inland yet but i don't think it would be much different than in PotC.

The game has a new feeling when played, some of the game aspects remind you of PotC and SD but the overall theme is realy new and you can't misstake this game for PotC. Its optimized alot(maybe even more than PotC) but still needs thing to ironout.

I'm probably gonna make a few videos(maybe MP play <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ).


PS.You gotta love StarForce defence.

Yo, Videos would be very cool. Please make a lot of land-exploring shots , I'm intressted in them more than anything else.
 
Here is a link to the very first video i'm making, its from my PC directly so you will probably download with 20KB <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Oh, it's very different. There is no inland.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I'm probably gonna make a few videos(maybe MP play ).<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Forget MP, it's not working =)))

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->only now if they hit you they can disable a few cannons<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was probably your own cannons exploding on their own, it happens way too often, the game is totally unbalanced at this point.
 
According to info before the Russian release: "According to what is known at the moment, the game should run on a 1500 MHz CPU with GeForce3 video card (or comparable)." Source: www.hookedonageofpirates.com

I have no idea what the final published requirements may be. Playlogic's site gives no info on them.

Help me mates,thanks!
i changed it into english,but many new bugs appeared,for example when you talk with some npc,the
dialogue box is empty and then the game cannot go on,at last exit to windows desktop.

is there anything else to do for switching language?or some files needed?

mmmm... some people say it is possible if you mingle with the official patch 1.1 before applying it to the Russian 0.99 release version - a guy called Wild Diablo (SLiB forum) claimed that he did this - <a href="http://legend.seaward.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=3881" target="_blank">http://legend.seaward.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=3881</a>
