    Crew Morale?

    Question related to this: has anyone ever had his crew mutiny so far? Happened to me at least once per game in ye olde Pirates!, but never in SMP so far even when sailing for `2-3` months on end with an unhappy crew...

    Is it just me or is this game a tad easy

    Umm, I think you're looking for a pirate simulation. I don't think SMP ever claimed to be one. You'd probably be better off with POTC and the loads of mods which add more realism to it. In time some of those might be available for SMP as well, although in my opinion that would defy the...

    So close - Need final push

    How to get around the FSAA bug without having to look at blocky graphics has been stated numerous times now, just have a look e.g. in the tech forum <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink:" border="0"...

    HELP - - - >

    Intriguing idea on the one hand, on the other hand Panama would just be another Havana then. Although the difference was much bigger in the original game, when you could more or less easily conquer Havana by attacking from the sea, while if trying to get the city on the Pacific there was always...

    Is it just me or is this game a tad easy

    Aside from the fact that most on this issue was already posted in the thread I opened about game difficulty, I have to say that I no longer feel the game to be too easy. I started a new game on Rogue without the fencing skill and have to admit that now skilled enemies with Rapiers can annoy the...

    How to sneak to the tavern?

    That might very well be the case, I know just what you mean Cat. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> For the same reason I'll pay extra attention next time I've sneaked into a...

    How to sneak to the tavern?

    I don't think the merchant of a big city will trade with you if you have just plundered it. I didn't mean that I captured the city for my own nation, of course I wouldn't need a disguise then. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif"...

    HELP - - - >

    Yup, 'fraid you'll have to march there. If you don't find a way to get the canal dug a wee bit sooner than it was in reality, that is. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

    How to sneak to the tavern?

    Yep, and if there was a shipwright in the sneak screen it would be somewhere near the harbor, where you start out anyway. Never seen one there so far, so I guess there ain't one.

    How to sneak to the tavern?

    Why irrelevant? I always trade with the merchant after I've entered a city by attacking it, to squeeze the last gold coins out of them. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

    Computer Reboots

    It's definitely not an Ati issues, why should it? I'm running the game on my Radeon 9800 Pro without any problems whatsoever (besides the minor AA <-> movie glitch). Definitely no crashes here. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif"...

    Flashing during Cinematics with ATI 9800Pro - Solution

    Kamikaze, just turn on AA again after you've seen the intro movies. The rest of the cutscenes are not movie files, so you will not get flickering there with AA turned on. You might have to quit the game to `re-enable` AA though. <img...

    Role playing forum

    I voted no simply because I'm a firm believer in the old "no traffic - no group" rule. Meaning that if there is a need for such a forum, there would already be story postings in here (maybe they'll come anyway? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"...

    How do you sack a city that isn't an enemy?

    Last but not least don't try to attack settlements, since you can't. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
