About multiplayer, there's gonna be deathmatch, team deathmatch plus couple other interesting modes. No payments will be required for multiplayer (which is via LAN and Internet).

P.S. the page about Corsairs 2 on Akella's site will be updated after official annnouncement.
 
Thank you again, Alex! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />
 
Oi, Aliosha, will Andrei be doing your art again, like for Korsary 2? I came across his site the other night without realizing he'd done all the fantastic piratey art, and then some, it looks like.

Znachit... on chasto rabotaiet s Akelloi?

Anything on `co-op`? Or is that something that would be too complex to implement? I could understand how that might be the case, but would be nice all the same.

Maybe one of the interesting modes will be Ship Soccer? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

I really loved Sea Dogs and found PoTC to be an utter disappointment. Been considering reinstalling it though and giving the current build they have on this site a go. Don't know though. Loving Pirates! enough as is. 

Those features definitely sound luscious and I really hope it can get pulled off well. I'm sure it will though because Akella has never really disappointed me, just Disney. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> 

Will be looking forward to more news on this one for sure!  <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

P.S. - I especially like the thought of managing and updating towns. That's exactly the kind of feature I've been wanting in a pirate game such as this. Wootage to the max if this is true.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The POC MOD Sea Dogs 2 is well worth the effort. But the new one out of Akella looks much much better. You are `right-Akella` does great stuff. They have never let us down even so far as unofficially helping out with the MODs. Looks like our big `e-mail` campaign did some real good and Akella knows for sure where their fans are. I will definitely get their Knights of the Sea and Age of Pirates and probably anything else they come up with.
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-Alex` L.+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Alex L.)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The truth is that there won’t be Sea Dogs 2. Actually, there will be much more than that.

Here we received more than 10.000 emails from fans of Sea Dogs and POTC with their wishes, desires and suggestions. So the team was doing the game previously known as Sea Dogs 2 using both ideas that they had to cut off from POTC and ideas from fans’ feedback. There was really lot of ideas. And it is surely game made for players and for fans of Sea Dogs.

The game has far overgrown the “Sea Dogs” title, so now it’s changed to “Age of Pirates” for worldwide release. In Russia, it will ship as “Corsairs 3” (Sea Dogs was Corsairs, and POTC was technically Corsairs 2).

Main news are: the game is huge. Real map of Caribbean. Five nations: English, Spanish, French, Dutch and Pirates... Basically, Age of Pirates is a totally `non-linear` “pirate RPG”, with absolute freedom of gameplay, tons of randomly generated quests, powerful trading system, developing NPC’s, controlling, managing and upgrading towns and forts... New fencing system. Advanced ship upgrades (hulls, masts, guns etc.). Smuggling. And much more. (For example, player can even sell prisoners he captured to slavery). As a result, the game will be different every time you play it. Also, there will be several multiplayer modes.

Release date is set for Q1 2005.

That’s all for now... Expect the official `press-release` soon! And more news on this and other Akella’s projects.

Cheers![/quote]

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> U Sea Dog Fans,

I saw on the internet some text (it is probably old) but it says Sea Dogs 2

But I think it is the POTCversion because SD2 Became POTC.


Best Historic RPG: Sea Dogs 2

<a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=332" target="_blank">http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=332</a>
Developer: Akella
Publisher: Bethesda
Platform: PC/XBox
Release Date: before Christmas (NOT CORRECT RELEASEDATE)

It was impossible to get into E3 without seeing an Sea Dogs 2 poster. Last year Bethesda wallpapered the show with Morrowind posters. It was obvious after just a few minutes that SD2 gained more from Bethesda's Morrowind experience than just advertising. You can play as either a man or woman. Both characters have different back stories and whichever one you decide to play, you will run into the other character in the game on occasion. There is an actual crew on the decks now. There are whales, dolphins and sharks in the water. You can get hit by cyclones and lightning strikes. The water and ships look better than ever. Your crew fights along side you now as the battle rages across the deck. You also get pistols to back up your sword. They have added a random quest generator that makes quests based on your current skill levels. There will also be an editor and `plug-ins` will follow the release. It just gets better and better. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Welcome to Sea Dogs 2, a pirate game that combines RPG and 3D action into one epic adventure. Sea Dogs 2 allows the player to enter a world that captures the romance of the 17th century upon the Caribbean. The focus of this heroic game consists of steering mighty sailing ships and partaking in naval battles. Players captain their own ship and have the opportunity to live the life of a pirate by fighting `tooth-and`-nail for gold and experience. Adventuring choices range from captaining a squadron for one of the European powers, bloodthirsty pirating, peaceful and profitable merchant sailing or becoming a fearless bounty hunter. Beginning your career as the captain of a small ship, you find yourself in the midst of a fictional archipelago. The archipelago consists of small and large islands upon which you will fight, trade, and gradually improve your vessel. The storyline is truly freeform and `open-ended`; there is no need to follow each detail.

That would be PoTC. I was reading some old Interviews with Akella about the SD2 that became PoTC. I almost weeped when I realized how incomplete PoTC is compared to the orginal plan. I think I read that it was going to have Multi, and it was going to have 25 islands (25 islands, 7 islands, same difference I guess <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />)
I hope this upcoming game, is released as was intended, and not as "Pirates. Go Kart Racer" or something from left field, with instead of 18 islands, you have 7 Go Kart Tracks, scattered across the Caribbean. And instead of 2 main charecters, again we only get one, but this time, it is a talking anime parrot named Lucky.
 
Well Alex already said it that it will be a map of the entire caribbean, lets hope he is telling the truth.

Storm3 WOW, that sounds even better, maybe we will get shadow effects with that.

<span style='`font-size`:25pt;`line-height`:100%'>I cannot even imagine superior graphics to what we already have in POC. My 76 year old dear Mom who is an accomplished artist had one word when she saw my POC Sea Dogs 2 MOD running on my 19" monitor at 1600 resolution. "Wow." My brother, an excellent sailor came up with the same word. As a real life sailor, I still am amazed by the realistic POC ship/ocean graphics; and Akella is going to make it better??? I too cannot wait. I tremendously enjoy Virtual Skipper 3 out of France, which has excellent graphics; but they don't come close to Akella's.</span>
