    Maybe I've ben reading too much Patrick o'Brian, but...

    Not bad thinking. I simply replaced the "Rys Bloom" character with a modifed Searcher skin, changed some of his abilities around, and named him Stephen Maturin. Of course, I never equip him as an officer, but when I feel like being ol' lucky Jack, its good to know he's there. (some one should...

    Editing the Game engine

    I've worked in modding communities on other games before. What I can say from those expericences is that 1st. the companies always know what you are doing. 2nd, if they don't want you to be modding, then they cut you off. Nothing anyone ever feels bad about, just a letter requesting that the...

    Americans and Corsairs

    There was supposed to be some quest regarding a Huguenot Admiral. I don't know anything about it though. Kieron is certainly right about the North/South split in Italy. Up in `butter-country` you have all the industry (centered around Milan, as I recall) while the south is oil based...

    Americans and Corsairs

    Xebecs and Tartanes are Mediterranean Rigs. There was also such thin as a a Xebec frigate, or what is sometimes called a Spanish Xebec. A Spanish Xebec had hte hull of a regular Xebec with its overhanging poop and long beak head, however, in addition to the regular three lateen sails, they...

    British Military Skins

    No, I will create a new thread when they are ready for download. I still have to make the marines and fix some bugs. Midshipmen: Yes or No?

    Americans and Corsairs

    While Venice was the key mercantile site in the Mediterranean from almost its founding to the late renaissance/ early modern period, by the reign of King Phillip II of Spain towards the second half of the 16th century the Venetian star had lost much of its sparkle. The Venetians won the...

    British Military Skins

    I'll be fairly busy with other things tomorrow, so I wanted to get this up tonight. Basically we have three Lieutenants. Nothing overly historical about any of these, other than that the first one on the left is sort of what I pictured Lieutenant Dillon from O'Brian's first book to look...

    British Military Skins

    Oh I agree. That's up to someone in the modeling department though, not me.

    @ JMV575

    Well, they have added a tailor mod, where you can go to a new store on all of the islands and purchase clothes for yourself and your officers, which in effect makes them your officers. Of course, this is a very tedious as you have to keep asking the tailor to look at this stock until it loads a...

    Americans and Corsairs

    Haha, yes, I guess I will. Perhaps I will just let the swords stay the way they are now.

    Americans and Corsairs

    Well, as with my skin project, my goal is to move the game to the Napoleonic Period. The date would begin on May 16th 1803. The Nations: Great Britain and the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (yes, an Italian State) vs. France and Spain. The Corsairs would sort of take over the Pirate role, and...

    fencing to easy?

    Well, what level melee do you use? If its too easy, don't put it up so high.

    fencing to easy?

    What difficulty are you playing at? With the Bosun's Choice (which I think might be the best sword in the game) and a melee skill of 5 I still die quite a bit. And yes, I am timing blocks and attacks. As I remember, the bandits in towns are supposed to be easier. Pirates and marines are...

    Napoleonic Wars Build?

    Just a thought, in the event of a 74, we could stop using the "lineship/warship/blackpearl" as `men-o`-war and use them as Indiamen. At 44 guns they'll have a higher broadside weight than they should, but by lowering their guns to 12 pdrs, we could fake them having fewer guns.

    English Fleet

    I know this is a bit late, but I just downloaded the mod and examined the textures through the GM viewer. Fantastic job. I really like the way you gave the deck the proper used oak look. Likes much more like a real ship. I also like the brass guns. A clean ship is a happy ship, right? The...

    Americans and Corsairs

    Once I'm through with my Royal Navy skins and have finished updating the Spanish and French skins to function properly, I'm going to start work on a mod to add Barbary Corsairs and Americans. My initial thoughts are to replace the Portuguese with the Corsairs and perhaps the Dutch with the...

    British Military Skins

    Here is a lineup of the top 5 skins by rank. <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/RN%20Brass.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> The Knight, Order of Bath is based on some portraits of Lord Nelson I have. I tried to recreate his sunken eyes, dark brows, deep cheeks...

    British Military Skins

    The goal is for the end of the week/weekend period. I need to hunker down and get some work done though.
