    Preparations for a walkthrough

    Update for Blue Bird quest: * The smuggler's cave is easier to reach from Broken Washbasin. * You can keep Blue Bird and still receive some of the promised reward money if you put her in storage at the Port controller right before you go to collect the reward. Storage for Blue Bird costs you...

    Stuck in Blue Bird quest...

    Apparently this quest is seriously broken here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> I reloaded a save from before I talked to the shop owner in Puerto Principe about the smuggling. Talked to him, got log entry that...

    Stuck in Blue Bird quest...

    Still not working. I reloaded a savegame right before I talk to the shipyard guy about the tunnel. Talked to him, got the log entry, quick-sailed to Ruin Shore, entered the dungeon (this time without my fighters), searched every chest and every dead end/corner and there is no one there. Are...

    Stuck in Blue Bird quest...

    I sailed to Ruin Shore with my fleet, entered the cave/dungeon entrance there and searched the whole dungeon with my landing party but there are no smugglers anywhere <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Either my...

    Stuck in Blue Bird quest...

    The Bermuda shipyard owner told me that there is no smuggeling through his dungeon and I got the log entry that I have to search Bermuda for its base of operation. I paid the 20k for him to open the dungeon, went to Ruined Shore through the tunnels (on foot) and then later I circled around the...

    Does AI boarding actually work?

    I got myself a 2 ship fleet now and in a battle after I've beaten up an enemy galleon I went after the next target and ordered my companion ship to board the galleon. Didn't work so well... by the time I had sunk the other attackers my companion is still sitting next to the galleon, blasting...

    What makes cannon blow up in my face?

    That's strange; I am still sailing a fully upgraded caravel, always with full crew and I personally have enough skill for class 3 while my navigator already could sail a class 2. It usually happens if a battle takes very long (I even go after warships with my mighty caravel; that bugger turns a...

    What makes cannon blow up in my face?

    That one I have... well, he's around 72 or so cant look it up atm. Does high cannon skill prevent this?

    Need Help Industrial Espionage

    Apparently there is another random(?) way to obtain the blueprints... I had such an espionage quest open, almost forgot about it. Then on one clear and sunny day a dutch military patrol (2 ships) decided they don't like my face so I sunk the first one and boarded the 2nd; her captain had...

    What makes cannon blow up in my face?

    During longer battles I more often than not have problems with my own cannons - they blow up without me getting hit or something. Overheating perhaps? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> At first I thought...

    Do officers leave me...

    ...if their loyalty gets too low? My reputation is... well, let's just say I am not the nicest person in the Caribbean Sea but I have two very good officers that have a pretty high reputation and very low loyalty. Can I raise their loyalty somehow? Without giving up my evil life and reputation...

    Skill bonus items for medium weapon

    ...do such trinkets exist? So far I found plenty (well maybe not plenty, but quite a few) items for both light and heavy weapons, but nothing at all for medium.

    Stats of the Blue Bird

    Can someone post me the average stats of the Blue Bird please? Or maybe can I look this up in a list/file somewhere? I am trying to decide if I should upgrade myself a nice corvette I just "found" or better try to catch and upgrade that little bird...

    Cant buy letter of marque?

    I tried for almost a month now to buy such a letter from the pirate guy - been to 4 or 5 pirate cities already but he always says he has "no connections" to get me such a patent atm. Is this random? Do I need to meet some hidden requirements for this to work?

    Killing Edward Law...

    ...how? For one I have to use a crappy sloop or lugger that can barely damage his ship anyways and even if I can get in boarding range without too many crew losses my guys get slaughtered within seconds. And my crew has max soldering skill and is armed to the teeth. I mean huh? What tactics do u...

    What to do with ship perks?

    I've taken all the national flag ship perks so far, but I still have 3 unused ship perks left; cant decide where to put them because most of the other ship perks my officers already have... together with _way_ higher skill than me. So what's the point taking any more ship perks as the captain...

    High priced officers

    Assign a treasurer (or have high trading skill) and they ask a lot less... Edit: Looking at your screenshot - how did u manage to get 49 medium weapon skill for a fresh character so fast?

    Letter of marque

    I know I can buy it from the pirate diplomat but it aint exactly a cheap bargain... The other thing he sells - trading license - appears the have some purpose; walking and trading in enemey territory certainly has some benefits... but what does a letter of marque do for me and why do I want one?

    How to get weapon back from officer?

    I gave my best weapon to an officer, but now I want it for myself! Them officers always equip the best weapon they have and because of that I cant trade or even sell it - is there any way to get it back from him?
