    Do i need to start a new game?

    You don't need a letter of marque for the quest. At most you'd need a Spanish trading license and raise the Spanish flag as you sail into port. You could also try sneaking in from the jungle, but it's a good idea to have a high stealth skill for that. As far as I know, you don't need a letter of...

    [HELP] The three crystal skulls

    Some items don't appear for a while in-game. For example, it takes time for the good weapons/spyglasses to appear in vendors' inventories and are never around in the beginning of the game. I checked the list of items and there's no specific place it can drop, but there's about .01% chance that...

    Soleil Royal

    I read the idea of getting the Spanish to capture the ship and recapture it and give it to one of my officers. I managed to order the Soleil to grapple with the nearest Spanish Galleon and the Soleil was now under Spanish control. I then quickly recaptured it, put my own (and much more...

    English Quest Line

    Does anyone have a link to an actual walkthrough for the English quest line? I've been searching the forums for a while now but haven't come across anything yet. I don't want to start up a new post if this already exists. Thanks.

    Rat problem

    You can also pick up several Rat God totems in CoAS if you want to give them to your companions in your squadron.

    How do i fire the ships cannons in third person veiw?

    Sometimes if there are a large number of ships firing at the same time, all the particles and effects can cause the game to slow a bit. If this happens, you just have to click and hold for a second or two and that should work too.

    Copuple of questions about rats and officers which come with ships

    If you go looting chests in the deep in the CoAS, you can pull up to 6 Rat God totems (I think). I also noticed that after updating to CM v3.1.5 I have no more problems with rats.

    Ship color

    It would be great if we could get this feature to work for the next mod pack (hopefully) even if repainting the ship is only selectable from stock paint jobs. I don't know how many times I tried looking for the ship I wanted with the paint and sails I wanted along with good stats. I get kinda...

    What could be causing

    I've run into the same problem with fighters just standing around after a fight, but only in isolated incidents. It always happens to me in a cave or dungeon where the skeletons spawn -- never during boarding battle or ransom mugger encounters in the jungles or bounty hunters in town. After the...

    Solved La bella isabella

    I don't know if this works or not, but I think I remember her saying not to sink ships anymore. My guess would be that you could just sail around and when you get attacked, just grape the other ship until they have 20 or 30 crew left and then board them. They should automatically surrender, and...

    How to get better ships?

    I usually tend to stick to corvettes. They boast a good balance of speed, maneuverability and firepower. Not to mention, they're not gigantic targets like the heavy galleons, frigates, man-o-wars, etc. It also doesn't take too much nav to be able to sail them around without penalties, so it's a...

    shotgun

    I don't know why, but every time I enter the temple where the shotgun is supposed to be, it's never there, but it's not so bad since I already made a better gun for myself. :onya2 As for the Flying Dutchman, all you have to do is talk to the patrons in the tavern and eventually someone will...

    Grinding and Levelling

    You could also go to the RPGUtilite file and pick one class (i.e. adventurer) and change their starting stats to whatever you want, and after that, any time you start a new game as an adventurer, you'll have those stats regardless of what character you pick.

    [HELP] The three crystal skulls

    I found all 3 (2 of each) in Chad Capper's chest in the CoAS along with plenty of other goodies. If you have the chance to go there, it's a great place to grab a new ship and some rare treasures and equips. I don't know if it's a random spawn in the chest or not since that quest line is a bit of...

    I have find a spy

    When I get this quest I usually like to start in the houses. Half of the houses are usually locked, and it's easy to go door-to-door around the city looking for the spy. When inside the house, always look out for the people who don't introduce themselves to you right away like they normally do...

    Diary of an unanswered question

    The problem with that is for the main character, not the officers. I still haven't found the officer's reputation files, and because the officer's reputation frustrated me too, I made several copies of the officers I liked to improve the odds of one of them being the reputation I to fit my main...

    Diary of an unanswered question

    Either way I thought it would be worth a try since it seemed like the most reasonable and effective way to stop the ships from popping up. It's possible that the line only exists for that ship because it's the only one that must be returned at some point while almost all the other quest ships...

    Diary of an unanswered question

    As for #3, I think I have an answer for you. If you look in the Ships_init.c file and scroll to SHIP_SOLEYRU, you'll find a line of code that makes it impossible to run into the ship and can only be obtained by the quest: refship.CanEncounter = false; This would need some testing as I have never...

    Dog of War, Sea Wolf

    It all boils down to aesthetics and preferences, which isn't really the most important thing about the ships. If it's a good ship, use it, even if it looks ridiculous, like the French MoW... all those bright primary colors make it looks like a playground shaped like a pirate ship (imo anyway)...

    Multiplayer possible!

    The problem with making this into a multiplayer game is that there are so many different mods out there for this game and it's very easy to alter the mechanics of the ships, cannons, weapons, characters, etc. that someone could easily make themselves a ship and character with near infinite...
