    A letter of marque was a commission authorizing privately owned ships (known as privateers) to capture enemy ships. A letter of marque was issued by the High Court of Admiralty. Any captured vessels were then brought before admiralty courts for condemnation and sale. Privateers were viewed as...

    Ahoy GR! OK, now tell me how much is "too much"? This is entirely arbitrary and makes no sense at all... at that time I had just begun and had only 1.9M GC... not large enough to instigate a mutiny in any past versions I've played. There are no banks to park the money... costs of repair and...

    B14 troubles

    Still having problems with the June update game. Ship images are not showing in the game after battle during the assimilation processing. I may have to delete and reinstall this game if code was dropped during installation. Mutiny is very overdone in this version happens far too much for no...

    B14 troubles

    I need to remind all that the version I'm discussing is the British version Baste kindly modded to limit the game to only the Free Play and Tales of a Sea Hawk... further modded due to my Lenovo T61 having only the Intel965 chip set and no NVIDIA capability. Two zip downloads were provided one...

    B14 troubles

    I downloaded and installed the latest update from scratch using all the parts currently available onto my T61 C drive, I then copied the British PROGRAM module from Baste's provided British games, and have been playing for two days as of today without the "DX8Render.dll" crash. This on a T61...

    Thanks for the info... I was never aware of this "license" issue and it has never been an issue in the past as I move SSD/HD around my 4 T61s that I have. Suddenly MS is getting overwrought about licensing so much so that they actually published online a statement of policy that I've never...

    Guys, I'm on W7Pro not 10... whatever is going on is due to restrictions embedded in 7 not 10. Will anyone using 7 comment about this? This did not happen with previous builds so it's reasonable to suspect something was introduced that conflicts with the Lenovo chip set or the W7Pro... right...

    B14 troubles

    Ok... since nobody seems willing to fessup or cooperate What is an NVIDIA graphics app doing in a game program meant for Intel965 W7 use when NVIDIA ended win7 support and is likely the "bug" that is crashing this game? Is this what is crashing the game by conflicting with DX8 Render?

    B14 troubles

    Another irritating flaw in the code keeps rearing its ugly head. About 5-10% of generated personalities in a game have no problem assigning skills. However abilities will cause game crash when assigned. Anybody have a fix for this problem? Very time-wasting to have a character that you cannot...

    Build 14 Final Part 2: Contents Archive: Okay so is this same as: b14_beta4_final.tar piratesnhbmod14v beta40 and... do you trust moddb to not corrupt files like they did for B14v24? Further investigation into bizarre activity of B14v22/24, when used on a C drive that generates the above...

    Update on corruption of V14B24 British play ... really bizarre situation. Play starts normal,,, about an hour into play the sea vanishes boats floating in air, sea bottom visible. Run Avira Avast, iTop malware without a hit on any known malware... making the culprit in the code? Only logical...

    Ahoy Maties... been sailing the Spanish Main instead of the Milky Way since my fix for the malware has restored function of the game... still has the same bugs... screen freeze ship sinking... screen freeze anytime for no reason... scene transition drop out... etc. at least these are the bugs...

    B14 troubles

    Ahoy Ahoy Ahoy Mates... warning! If you play B14v24(22). In my play on W7/10 on Lenovo T61/T510 the Modules .dll files get corrupted so that when you close and try to reopen later the game does not open in W7. The fault given is a Radeon call (?) Where did that come from? In W10 the game loads...

    B14 troubles

    Ok... you've been such a help I had to ask... unfortunately I've been asking this question for years with no one stepping up to help. Any idea which module I might look into? I might be able to figure out from the logic and the plain language words used. Obviously desperate to stop this time...

    Yep sea.dll was corrupted on the Lexar 3.0 USB as well as my T510 when I copied that file from a working game and dropped it in the sea color and texture returned. ? what in the world is going on? Is that file that easily corrupted both on W10 C drive and a USB 3.0? Maybe somebody needs to...

    Sorry to be a pest but a recurring gimmick in play has irritated me since v16 and nobody has replied to my frequent complaints. Recruiting in the tavern is plagued by interviews when the candidate suddenly walks away and zigzags about the room very fast and changes direction as soon as I align...

    Excellent! I appreciate your taking the time to make the drop-in code, makes the mode a lot easier. Please clarify for me the instruction "AISea.c should not be changed." my take is to leave it as it... embed only worldmap_encgen.c and AIShip.c... right? What I do is to name-change by adding...

    Beta test complete, unfortunately AISea.c has failed.... replacement with another file from working game restored function...could be my placement of code or spacing since I'm not familiar with how critical that is...used PDF995 app that prints the text in PDF formatting into a doc that I opened...

    Wow! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would never have been able to ferret this out of that tornado of code that PotC has become. Has anyone considered cleaning out the obsolete trash and slimming this Hurricane down to a simple compilation? A noble deed indeed if anyone is Hero enough to slay this code...

    Help with storms? Any idea where the constant storms generator is located. The "Weather" in Program location I zeroed used to work just fine but this last v24 seems to be back to the irritating constant storms, and I'd like to be rid of such childish nonsense.as masts knocked down by 4# shot...
