    Old Pirate

    Would you all humor me? I haven't checked in for quite a while and I wondered what the status of this place was. Anyway, are any of the old regulars still here? Excuse my drunkeness, Is Catalina the Pirate still here? Fred Bob? Nathan Kell? Sir Christopher? No offense of any new regulars...

    Have you been to the hidden room ?

    It's got mummies, too? My god, I think I might go blind just imagining this.

    Have you been to the hidden room ?

    I would like to change the pictures in my cabin. Does any one have the mod with SirChristopherMings's mum playing naked poker with Elvis, a dog, and pink flamingo in a miniskirt?

    builds

    Gadin, I'm sure you will hear the same advice from most people on the forum. And that advice is, YES, absolutely play the game with the builds. If you are playing the out of box game and haven't seen any bugs yet, you've been lucky. Without the builds, the game is pretty much a steaming pile...

    Can active officer's NOT board?

    Eunuch, Yeah, I think you're right. You can't talk to the "special" characters. Only the ones that you hire from the taverns. I used Rys Bloom (the lubber from Redmond) as my gunner. He kept getting killed during boarding even when I maxed out his melee skill. He just didn't have enough hit...

    Can active officer's NOT board?

    I've never played build 12, but in build 11 you could talk to your officers when you were on land. One of the options when you talked to them was to tell them to sit it out when you were boarding vessels. That will keep them from getting killed, but it wont put in your good melee officers...

    Light

    Gadin, That sounds like a bug, or you don't have your settings correct. When it is nighttime in the game, yes it's dark. But realistically dark. In ship battles you should still be able to make out the water and faintly make out ships on the horizon or as they get closer. On land, I've never...

    Some questions that disturb me

    Cat, Out of curiosity, can you get a letter of marque out of Silehard or not? I don't have any saved games to figure it out, but Kiffer seems to have done it.

    Some questions that disturb me

    Vlad, You should probably sell the -1 luck coin. Some of the goodies that you find in chests and whatnot will enchance or lower your abilities stats. For example, there is a ring that will increase your luck +1, and there are items that help your cannon stats, fighting stats, boarding stats...

    Greenford Taken. Umm, what now?

    I just `re-read` my last message and it seems like the incoherent ramblings of a madman. Unless you were in the exact same situation as me in the game, you probably wouldn't have the same bug. So my message probably wont help much. Oh well. Really, this is just another example of the many...

    Greenford Taken. Umm, what now?

    Arrr, I figured out my problem. I guess I did something that screwed up certain game triggers. At some point in the game, you go to the lighthouse to find the old dude, but there are English troops inside. After dispatching them, you come out of the lighthouse and Danielle talks to you and...

    Greenford Taken. Umm, what now?

    I think build 11. I'll confirm that later. Did the bug apply to build 11? Did it keep people from completing the game? I'm pretty sure other people have finished it with build 11.

    Greenford Taken. Umm, what now?

    FredBob, Yeah, after a talk to him at the lighthouse, it "teleports" me there. I'm the only one in there though, since I scared the hell out of everyone else by taking over the fort. It's like this: I bust him out of jail and I get teleported to the lighthouse. He talks to me and says he'll...

    Greenford Taken. Umm, what now?

    I'm almost ashamed to have to ask this since I've been playing this game for so long and have still not finished. Nonetheless, I'm stuck. I've taken Greenford and busted the old dude out of jail. He said, "It will take a few days to translate these tablets.", or something, so I was like "OK...

    Usefull abilities for assigned officers?

    Davos, Your list looks ok to me. The only ones I use are pre reloading and quick repair. I've always been too chicken to try fireship. If you use it, do you lose a ship from your fleet? Good question on the others. I don't know if any of those abilites would make any difference. - Musket...

    Usefull abilities for assigned officers?

    Yes, sir. My character has quick reload so I see that icon available when I go to the use ability option. But even when I add 30+ level officer with abilities like quick turn around and sense faraway( or whatever its called), his abilities are never available to me. Does it work...

    Usefull abilities for assigned officers?

    Nathan, I tested out a saved game of mine, and I could only ever use my own characters abilities. Unless maybe you know of some way to specifically invoke your officers' abilities. All I know how to do is click over to the "Use Ability" icon, and pick what I want. If its not my characters...

    Usefull abilities for assigned officers?

    Davos, I think you realize this, but to be sure, if an officer is neither in your party of 3 active officers, or assigned as on of the 4 possible officers on another of your ships - then you don't benefit from any of their skills/abilities. Now for the 3 active officers, you benefit because...

    musings of a new player

    Cat, Yeah, the healing potions will be used during a fight, but for me the `on-deck` battles last about `10-15` seconds. So, my officers were usually dead before they could regain any health. Good advice on improving an officer's weapons too. In the original version, could you also give...

    musings of a new player

    reverend, I play the build, but I still remember the original somewhat. I recommend that you start with the build version now. In my opinion, and I think most here will echo it, you don't miss anything, or at least very little from the original game, by playing the build version. 1. I think...
