treasure fleet

Master Mariner
it would be cool if somebody can make a mod of this. or is there any way i can make it my own?
i want to plunder a fleet of treasure ships consist of 50 MOW,20 frigate and 20 royal galleon and get 50 mln gold.
 
Mmmm, it might be possible. However, I for one think the frame rate would go waaaaaaay down, at least on mine it would. I have trouble some time with less then a dozen ships. But there might be a way. Keep thinking....
 
If you could manage to defeat 90 ships with a maximum of four ships, then you DESERVE 50 million gold. But I don't think it will ever happen.
 
The balance of this fleet is just blantantly stupid and you need your head checkin. There would be more frigates and corvette sized vessels than MOW's which is the incorrect term for those ships neway. I don't think any fleet in the world 50 100 gun vessels at once, correct me if i am wrong but that seems a ridiculous amount of ships just for a treasure fleet.
 
yeah, i know u are right;
but i juz need challenges, anytime in the game now i can sail a xebec and take down 4 MOW or 6 big ships in 1 fleet easily. it juz too damn easy for me

Woopy, why don't you try playing at a higher difficulty level? You're probably still at apprentice. Ask one of your `tavern-hired` officers "About me" and select "I don't feel right in this world" and then select a higher difficulty level. You'll see your duel enemies HP become much higher, and I think they're also armed a bit heavier too... The challenge becomes much greater - you will see! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Oh yes, it will. I had once the dubious pleasure to plunge into a battle between English and French Warships, both fleets were about six ships strong, that reduced the performance extremely. A magnificent sight, however, watching the two fleets engaging eatch other. Too bad that AI ships don´t grapple and board each other.
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Yes some of those AI ship battles can be incredible! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Here's a screenshot - I ran into a HUGE battle fleet once - was sailing with four MOW's myself - and while the minimap only shows six, I think there were EIGHT opposing MOW's... <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" /> Whew...

I think I took this when playing in B10.1! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Yeah, that´s some sight - even more so with the new looks of the cannonshot in build 12, with cannon fire flashes (I thought I got hit the first time I saw that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> ) and the powder clouds hovering in place for quite a while. This game just has beautiful graphics.
 
I agree, the game has marvelous graphics. I am really looking forward to seeing what Akella has coming up next - the TRUE successor to Sea Dogs - Age of Pirates!
 
I guess that beats my battle last night, that I thought was impressive... I had a single Light Frigate, my new favourite prowler, and my two prizes (just my luck I take two crappy prizes before stumbling onto a goldmine of SOL's) were too weak to help so I sent them off engaging.

I emerged in the middle of what I thought was the entire French Caribbean Fleet... like, 8 or 10 `high-ranked` vessels, and the first half of the fight (lasted nearly a whole day) was in heavy fog, so I was fighting blindly. It came down to one last Corvette, and he kept outrunning me coz my sails were shot out, so I had to keep waiting for him to sail far enough away, then `sailing-to` and magically appearing right beside him.

Only downside was I was forced to swap for a captured ship, because my own was about dead, and it had less cargo space, which was full, so I had to abandon the 625 cwt of cotton I was running for a merchant. Times like this I wish I could dump cargo during the ship transfer screen. I also wish the ship's speed were displayed, so I know whether a ship is worth taking or not in that respect. And that sending prize ships home option I so strongly desire... hurgh.
 
Dumping cargo in ship transfer would be a mayor feature indeed. Though I have to say, the B12 ship transfer is an enormous improve compared with B11.
 
Something else that kills me is that I can't order an officer to leave a ship... Why is "remove officer" disabled in `ship-to`-ship transfer? It makes them DIE when the ship is sunk, and it prevents me from freeing up space when an even better prize comes along.
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> You can't unassign a captain? That's odd. I never tried that - sinking a ship to make way for another to pick up. This should be looked at, as well as the dumping cargo during a plunder operation. It's where I really wanted to be able to dump cargo in the first place, when I suggested this a long time ago. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
It´s the only place where it would really make sense, isn´t it? I mean, I can discard cargo in the transfer screen, but what for? Then I´ve already got it stored nicely away, so why throw it away? But in the captured ship dialoge, it would really make sense: "Oh, he´s got a nice cargo of sandal, and we´re on our way to Redmont. Who needs those bloody bombs, over the side with ´em, to make room."
 
wat is the highest reputation can one get in the game?
i previously got 'pirate' then known as 'famous pirate' and now it is 'mister'

I was in the bedroom upstairs with Danielle AND Silehard. We had to sneak in so `no-one` saw us but half way through Silehard got scared and ran away. Me and Danielle had to finish off alone.

As for marrying, you should leave them lone for about 6 weeks then when you go back they are delighted to see you (always keep em hungry). You should be able to propose then, but they might refuse!

You´re probably using acarde mode sailing as well, aren´t you? Try realistic sailing, that makes things a lot harder, as the weather guage really counts.
By the way, it seems to me that in build 12, the acarde sailing is way faster than it was in b11. But that may be a personal feeling, as well. As well, it seems to me that - even at Journeyman, I´ll have to try higher levels - I get a lot less hull damage and crew losses when hit by enemy fire (I´ve got Fred Bob with ten defense and all defense perks) than I did get under the same circumstances in B11, now I get hardly any at all. Sails are the only things that go to pieces in a hurry.
