    Flags for the master trainer countries. (work in progress)

    I wasn't trying to steal your thunder, but you can grab that flag and add it to your mod if you want, I don't mind at all. I wish I could help you out with China. My guess is that the Qing (Manchu)Dynasty might have used a yellow flag with a blue dragon on it. That seems to be the earliest...

    Flags for the master trainer countries. (work in progress)

    Just so you know, I already did a pack of flags for the countries in the game which can be found <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic3762.php" target="_blank">ON THIS THREAD</a>. I also made an Irish flag which is historically from the 17th century <img...

    Found a Bug/Cheat

    Well, it's not really a bug is it? I mean, a war canoe can only hold 50 men, if you have more than that, I guess you basically tell those men to take a hike. I suppose the bug comes in that those men should take their share when they leave. The downside is when you start your next...

    Names of your ship(s)

    My flagship is named <i>Second Chance</i>, because early in the game I lost my first sloop and ended up with only two beat up trade galleons. As I was sailing, wondering how I can do anything with a trade galleon and no way to buy a warship, a pirate sloop came by and without firing a shot...

    Selling ships with booty

    Then you still have too much stuff. Go back to the merchant and sell even more, or else go to another port if the first merchant doesn't have enough cash to buy enough from you.

    health

    What difficulty level are we talking about here? Someone making it to 61 doesn't mean much to me unless it's at Rogue or ideally Swashbuckler level. At Rogue (haven't finished at Swashbuckler yet) pushing it to 40 takes a lot of work. So those who are posting final ages, post what...

    errr... How do you purchase new ships?

    If you start in 1600 as Dutch you get a Fluyt, as English a Merchantman. I tried being a trader once. I forget when I started but I committed one act of privateering (NOT piracy) and took an enemy Dutch fluyt then dumped the sloop. NEVER did a shipwright offer to sell me anything. I had a...

    health

    It means you're old and slow. It also means you need to think about retiring soon. Most pirate careers were measured in months, not years. For you to make it to 41 is pretty good. There is no way to make it better. You can prevent it from happening a little by getting the Medicine skill...

    Three new graphic mods

    I understand what you're saying Holly. Though I would also offer that who's to say I want to be a pirate? In my current game, I'm privateering all the way. Or in one game I tried (and gave up on) I was a peaceful trader (after one unfortunate incident when I had to steal a large fluyt becuase...

    Three new graphic mods

    If you want to see the old Pirates! Gold "Spanish" flag, I made a new flagpack that includes that flag instead of the St. Anthony's Cross one: <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~mafab/Pirates/cyl.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Check it out over at the new thread: <a...

    Pirates!Gold Spanish Flag added to flagpack

    I have made a new version of my flagpack, one with the Pirates! Gold "Spanish" flag (which is really the anachronistic flag of Castille y Leon) in place of the Spanish state flag. <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~mafab/Pirates/cyl.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> You can download...

    Three new graphic mods

    Yeah, as for the brightness of the pants, I may do that soon. But I've spent more time making mods than playing. I'm going to play a bit, then maybe darken them up this weekend if I get a chance (with Christmas coming and all spare time is becoming sparce). As for the winged hourglass, I...

    era selection

    I believe that language is more Simish than Firaxian, unless Firaxian is an offshoot of Simish. My Sims spoke that way long before now. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink:" border="0"...

    Where are the pirates? and other questions

    Don't get me wrong, I love Pirates!. But last night, I was English starting out a new game at Swashbuckler level. Left Barbados and took two Spanish trade galleons off Trinidad. The Spanish put a price on my head. On my way back to Barbados, a Spanish raider in a war galleon was cruising the...

    Where are the pirates? and other questions

    Right. I guess I'm asking that as a peaceful man, or perhaps as a privateer (not a pirate) that sometimes I'm going to get into battles whether I want to or not. I mean, if in real life every time a pirate came buy the merchant captain could click on "Sail Away" then we wouldn't have had a...

    Where are the pirates? and other questions

    First, where are all the pirates? All the pirates I see are heading for a town to sack it. Don't pirates attack shipping in the open ocean? What if I'm playing as a peaceful trader for the English. If we're at war with France, shouldn't I fear someone labeled a French raider? Nah, they...

    Buy Cannons

    If you pound a ship into oblivion then no, you won't get any/many cannon from them. You need to hit them a little, if at all (just like real pirates did, they typically only fired chasers, or else fired a broadside just to let the merchant crew know they meant business - they did not fire to...

    Three new graphic mods

    Well, I fixed up the flagpack to change the Spanish town flag from the one shown above to a white flag with a red barbed St. Anthony's cross. The readme has an update in it, with special thanks to Officerpuppy who convinced me that the one in the new flag pack is really the right one. The...
