    Sacking Oxbay and Falaise (whilst ignoring plot)

    After a little playing this evening (GMT) I think you're right it doesn't have any effect. I went back to Oxbay and though there were very few french ships in the vicinity, the fort did fire on my ships upon leaving...so obviously I captured it again. Paltry 1.6m made unfortunately. Clearly I...

    Sacking Oxbay and Falaise (whilst ignoring plot)

    Having effectively decided to ignore the game plot and concentrate on piractical adventures instead I inadvertently captured and sacked Oxbay and Falaise (damn forts shouldn't have fired on me). Of course the places were deserted when I wandered around but I'm not sure what effect it might have...

    New Islands Mod

    Pardon my ignorance chaps, but in what update does this Sint Maarten/Saint Martin stuff (Marigot, Phillipsburg) appear? I'm guessing it's another 'modpack' rather than simple FTP upload. In which case, what is the optimum way of updating stuff when I have a hodgepodge of Post-Build12 original...

    Slavery mod?

    Hmm, nice little debate developing here on the pros and cons of 'revisionist history' in gaming. For my part, in response to comments that slavery was rife during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries (the core buccaneer/freebooter/pirate eras) and that it is foolish or objectionable to try and...

    Treachery!

    Think I've encountered him doing the same thing to me before. Maybe a quirk of Raymondo in that he really never actually surrenders (as in knacker his ship, he surrenders...get on board, then hey presto fight again). I seem to remember him 'faking' a surrender before and opening up on me again...

    CAN you sail without map scene?????

    Begging your pardon mateys, but sailing from one side of the map to t'other in 3rd person sailing mode with 'realistic sailing' mode on would take an awfully long time. Hell, you'd spend more time at sea waiting for something to happen than actually doing anything. Maybe good for realism but...

    White flags in the Sail-to menu

    Well, no boarding a British ship would be considered bad, but then why would they attack me with provocation whilst in 'surrender mode' when I am still flying a British flag? Short of a mutiny on board I sure can't explain it. Rather a drag to go from Hero to zero (oh, alright 'horror of the...

    Were gonna steal a ship!?

    Probably ought to add a chance of encountering hostile crew on board the ship when you steal it, so every once in a while instead of getting on board and going straight into 3rd person sailing mode, you have a boarding scene and have to fight the remaining crew not on the shore having some R&R...

    White flags in the Sail-to menu

    Ahh, so white flags does mean surrender (or rather 'struck their colours'). Explains why I get very bad rep for attacking them. Thanks for that. I now know how to identify friendlies. A few things do seem odd though: 1. Not all ships who have struck colours are able to be boarded no matter how...

    White flags in the Sail-to menu

    A stupid question to ask: In game I occasionally when in the sailing mode encounter ships which show up on the 'sail to' menu as having white flags. If I attack and sink 'em my personal rep nose-dives considerably. So what does the white flag mean? I thought ships that had struck their colours...

    Slavery mod?

    Yes I know slaves were treated as commodities and therefore were a major feature in trade in the period, but as I said, whilst originally there was a mod that included such a thing, not surprisingly it was ditched or abandoned due partly to the controversy and partly because slavery simply isn't...

    Feature list!!!!

    I concur it would be useful to have a breakdown of what mods and features appear in the latest Post-Build12 mod...though I appreciate it is likely a torturously dull and time consuming task. Having installed the 5 Feb(?) package I've been grabbling the updates from the FTP, but I can't tell...

    First attempts in skinning

    Just a small note that for people keen to get correct ensigns, the following flag site has some very useful information about what flags were flown when and where, plus the pictures are really easy to resize to replace those in the the flagall.tga.tx file (though I've not seen how they'd work...
