    The end of Isabella quest?

    Thanks Steelrat. I tried a few more times, as you got me thinking of more ways to possible control how they attack me. I got myself in among the parishoners, which apparently, got the attackers to come at me one at a time (I guess they had no orders to kill everyone: so much for "Dead men tell...

    The end of Isabella quest?

    I am wondering just how the $#^&(*@ you got to this point? I've "married" her- and four killers show up. My Peter Blood character is 55 + 30 swordsman, which, after a dozen plus retries got me no more than one enemy killed for all the times my bride and I were slaughtered. I've tried protecting...

    destroying the fort

    That's just nasty of you to tell me now! :urgh Actually- Now that I know ... I'll replay the mission again sometime, only with more powerful ships and large experienced crews :sail This time, the only way I got away was because I had landed the the overland invasion at the lighthouse, and on...

    destroying the fort

    Ahoy Fred Bob! Thank you for your answer- Since my last post I had FINALLY knocked out enough of the fort's guns to land my 500 men. Apparently, however, the Spanish garrison of almost 2000 troops(so I found out afterwards!!)was just waiting for me - we got slaughtered... :urgh So, after...

    destroying the fort

    I'm trying to complete the Engish mission, and right now am before the guns of Santiago (again... :urgh ) I've got the fort guns down to about 85/125 (or so)after about 1500 cannon balls being expended, but I've taken probably too many casualties to successfully accomplish the ground battle...

    What's this "gun fall out"??

    I've come to agree that 24 lb guns get the "gun fall out" far less often-- but are they effective enough at taking out the forts? In ealier versions of this game, I could target specific things- like individual fort cannon. You say that you aim at masts? How? :shrug I havn't found any way to...

    Trouble sneakin' amongst the Dons

    You're probably way beyond this by now,Fred Bob, but just in case newer players have had this problem, I've always snuck in via the jungle after midnight, dodged the alert guards and duck into the pub for the night. Next day, the guards aren't as sharp, and it's not difficult to accomplish the...

    What's this "gun fall out"??

    Your English is far better than my Russian will ever be! Sounds like I'm going to have to go buy a whole new set of 32 lbers before I go after a city. Thanks for the help, tovarish!

    PRISONER

    I usually get told off by prisoners, rudely :razz So once, I told an officer not to speak, which also resulted in hitting him- and this officer has become one of my most faithful- go figure. Only worked once though. Generally I've ransomed them to the governor (but I see this is a bad idea...

    What's this "gun fall out"??

    Thanks, Jonathan, for your considerate reply. But so much for a nice, simple toggle switch... :shrug

    What's this "gun fall out"??

    Awesome, quick, helpful responses- thankyou! :onya2 Now THIS is a forum! So it's a matter of the depth of the game, rather than a glitch, that cannons can wear out, or the ropes holding them can, because what several of you suggested fits well, b/c there I was, going in tight circles to bring...

    What's this "gun fall out"??

    Whether it's an actual "bug" or not it's driving me crazy. Frequently when I attack something in a protracted battle my "gun fall out", usually starting in the starboard battery, and then spreading to all guns if I want to go through the agony of watching. Currently, I'm attacking Santiago with...
