    Special Cuirass?

    I'm not sure what he told me. I know in the walkthru it says he tells you but it doesn't get noted in the log. I went to talk to him and he says nothing everytime?

    Special Cuirass?

    I finished the 3rd mission for the English Governor and met Morris Williams the captain. In the walkthrough it says he gives you a hint to go find a special Cuirass on a certain northern coast, which you will fight many skeletons. I went to the coast, went inland one section but it won't allow...

    Stuck on English mission 2

    I got it to work! I had to; 1.) pull up beside the brig for boarding. 2.) TAB down to deck mode, 3.) go over to the side of the ship(throw up because I get sea sick). Look at brig and press left mouse button( hopefully you've loaded cannons with grape shot before hand) 4.) And then the voice...

    Stuck on English mission 2

    I went to Curacao, couldn't find anyone in the Tavern who would speak to me 'Gutter trash' so I kept asking everyone in town. Somebody wanted info for money and I paid him. My log said to board a brig. But there is no 'Board' or grappling option on the screen? so I went over by rowboat...

    frame rate slow lagging

    I tried different settings on the PCI Latency tool. Usually a setting of 200 is optimum. Anyways, it seems... it seems that is without scientific validation just yet that a setting of 136 is actually a bit faster. I tried it in Port Royale when the population was at the highest and walked...

    frame rate slow lagging

    I think I spoke too soon. The reason I think it looked faster was that there was less townspeople in the town at the moment, less people, less work on cpu. So I guess my solution didn't do anything. I have a Intel 6750 dual core. I have only about 8 subprocesses running in the background...

    Pirate settlement attacked me?

    I finally arrived on the island of Jamaica. As soon as I got off the boat some lady asked me to rescue her husband who is being held on a Pirate frigate. I wanted to look around the island and found a pirate settlement. As soon as I went in the pirate settlement, they attacked me? I've...

    Is it possible to run COAS directly from the hard drive instead of the DVD? Thanks.

    increase loyalty

    Well I'm not sure if I understood everyone correctly but I did about 12 trade runs between islands. My officers loyalty ratings never budged at all. Unless someone meant do missions for the store? Anyways, it's just another error in the manual bottom of page 21 which says you can pay...

    increase loyalty

    You mean stand in front of them and use the 'Trade' command? I tried that. You can only send over one coin at a time or all coins. Sending 100 coins takes like 5 minutes. I notice also once he recieves the coins they don't disappear.

    increase loyalty

    One of my officers-fighter keeps dropping in loyalty. The manual says you can increase loyalty with an officer by simply giving them a bonus pay. I can't seem to figure out how to do so? I've looked at the character screen and other screens but don't see any 'raise salary' button? Thanks.

    Quest problem?

    Thanks scrogdog, it worked. I had to do it exactly as you said. I tried staying overnight outside but the shipyard guy just attacked me when I saw him even though I had a trade license. I had to go back to my ship, change my flag with the spanish trade license, dock at the town port...

    Quest problem?

    I seem to be stuck again with a quest. I'm doing a quest for a British governor who wants me to go to the shipyard in Santo Domingo and pick up a parcel. I'm not supposed to raise an alarm. I went there at night and stood beside the shipbuilders door, but every once in a while a guard will...

    frame rate slow lagging

    I have all the settings to 'Use application settings' and Disable catalyst AI. I've been going thru the russian Akella forum postings to see if I can find any tips. so far the only thing I've read is HyperThreading = 0 DisableSSE = 1 and disable catalyst AI. I tried those 3 and I think its...

    Ahoy Officers

    What he's trying to say is everything hinges on your ship class, which is probably 2. So its linked with your Authority value which is probably -8 or 2. I had the same problem. So to hire more officers, A) buy second ship, class 5 and put the original class 2 ship in storage with port...

    frame rate slow lagging

    I have a 512mb ATI 6750 video card and I'm getting about 14 fps in the towns. I've read other forum posts saying COAS doesn't like ATI very well. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?

    Two more questions about gameplay...

    Too late! I captured a ship. Then moved everybody to the new smaller ship, went to port control put my class 2 in storage, then found a carpenter, treasurer, doctor for my crew. Now I'm debating whether to get back the class 2 since it was so easy to capture other ships with it. Also my...

    Two more questions about gameplay...

    I went to the shipyard and bought another ship... but my original ship disappears? It won't allow me to have 2 ships? I'll just have to capture another ship.

    Two more questions about gameplay...

    I have about 560,000.00. You mean I should give my ship to port control office then hire more officers that way? Ok I'll try it. By the way I checked my leadership its 10; but beside it is red saying(-9). So I guess that gives me 1 then total? P.S. My computer is dual core, fast video...

    Two more questions about gameplay...

    Well I didn't check my authority level yet. But all I know is that I can only have 2 officers. When ever I try to hire more it says something like I cannot hire anymore, I'm full right now. Maybe its penalizing me because of my ship is class 2?
