    Pirates gone wild!

    When attempting to escape, keep in mind that the best way may not be to use your best sailing point, but rather your opponent's worst. :)

    Isabella's quest: any tips to find salvatore's boat?

    Quite correct. There may be more than this but this is what I know so far; Orange = Quest ship you must fight Green = Quest ship that you must talk to (no fight) Purple = Non-generic quest ship Gold = Golden Fleet.

    Smugglin-why do patrols always show up?

    I too prefer fast ships that may not be optimal for trading; even though I DO trade. My normal progression would be sloop/schooner/brigantine/corvette. As for the Rat Totem; Go to the brothel in Bridgetown (the cheapest I've found) and speak with the ladies inside. Tell them that they are the...

    Smugglin-why do patrols always show up?

    You only need one per ship. However, you will also find about 15k in the chest along with some other sellables so the money you spent on women is made up for. :)

    Smugglin-why do patrols always show up?

    Ok, I'm curious as to how you got this done for that amount of money. The cheapest lady I've ever found (at the cheapest brothel I've found; Bridgetown) cost $1500 per, uh... session. :) So, if you get her to talk in the minimum time (5 tries) that's $7500. It may take more than that. Did...

    Smugglin-why do patrols always show up?

    Nope. Captain's perks always work; you do not need to assume the station (not sure that's possible anyway). That's one thing to keep in mind when selecting perks. If you get a treasurer with the commerce perks, they work the same as when you personally have them as long as the officer is on...

    Smugglin-why do patrols always show up?

    Sell everything that does not have an attribute or skill boost. Some things are worth a lot, others not. But it adds up. Keep in mind that if you get a redundant item, you can trade it to one of your officers. This is particularly useful for your fighters. Sometimes you may want to put some...

    Another satisfied convert. My mission here is done. :)

    Smugglin-why do patrols always show up?

    Swordfighting is very much a game of rock, scissors, paper. In addition, way too many people, in my opinion, become enamored with high damage heavy weapons. These weapons are SLOW and take a lot of stamina to wield. Also, which weapon is best depends on situation. Think of it, two people...

    Lots of Questions about the game

    See post 11 of this topic for a good map. Even if you don't install it as a mod you can use it to find things. http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?/topic/13796-coas-mini-mods/ Later on in game there will be a "regular map" that will replace the "old map". It shows ports. Fort Orange is on...

    where for sale

    I really don't know, but it does seem a bit odd. I usually do business with direct2drive and generally speaking, they have games available on or close to release date. Why this one is so far out is beyond me. :shrug

    Navigation and Maps

    The maps that you buy in game can only be viewed in your inventory by equipping them. In general one uses these to help find their way through the jungles next to cities and towns, or to find where a certain landmark is. You cannot keep them visable while walking through the jungle. You cannot...

    Silent Hunter V

    Great news! While I enjoyed SH4, I thought that SH3 was superior. Oh, not in graphics or missions given, but I very much disliked how SH4 de-emphasized the ship's interior. To me, that was the very thing that would make the series even greater! Now it seems they are trying exactly that. Hey, I...

    Stealth

    In the Nations tab in your log. On the right where the flags show your relationship with each nation.

    finding the totem that helps against rats

    Actually, since I started a new character, I pulled this exact mission from the whore today. There is no chest on the beach in this location. But there are caves. In there is a +20 stealth totem lying in the open. In a branching tunnel there is an exit by a broken chest that opens in to a...

    Profile

    Dynamic battles are faster and less realistic. Hardcore means you can save ONLY when inside a church. Not recommended with the bugs the game has. However, if you aren't the type that cares about quests, maybe give it a try.

    multiplayer mode

    It does say that in the readme, but no. No multiplayer. Probably an intended feature that they never got to work properly so they just dumped it before release.

    finding the totem that helps against rats

    Hmmm, never saw dat happen, fer sure. There should have been a single unguarded chest on the beach. Did you find the totem you are talking about in there? Or somewhere else in the area? Maybe there was more than one chest? Never saw more than one myself. Since I've never seen this quest fail...
