    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Alright, my final testing report for today. Pieter, I could click on the social climber button and browse through the other available archetypes. But I couldn't select 'em, due to the below "select" button being grayed out. There seems to be a little error with the Indians (the ones who...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Same with me. Can be easily worked around, though. Load your new profile in-game (accessible via the "save" menu). Then you should be able to save without further hassle. Right of the bat I ran into several things. I started a game with the Frenchman's campaign in the golden age of piracy...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Okay, I will update it. Two more things before that. 1.) Could it be, that the AI in charge of your boarding crew members is the very same as the AI that controls your opponents? That would perfectly explain why they don't use healing resources. Because your officers never hesitate to heal...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Holy Cow! You guys update this stuff faster than I can test it. Anyway, I stumbled upon quite a few minor to medium issues: 1.) The Tailor in Nevis becomes invisible, when showing a Portuguese uniform (worth 2200). 2.) Are their any pirate ships around Nevis .... or any pirates at all? It...

    Ideas for the future!

    Yeah, the game becomes kind of boring if no one dares to touch you. I think the Manilla Galleons just serve well as supply vessels or as muscle if one wants to collect a really big stash of loot.

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Downloaded the new hybrid and did just as much as readjusting the options to my liking. So I didn't even start a new game yet. And already there is an error message. Uploaded it.

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    I noticed some weird stuff with the sound effects. When I change my sails (no sail -> battle sail -> full sail) there is no voice over as there used to be. Also when I try firing guns but the target is still out of reach, the voice over "Guns ready, captain" is played. It is basically played...

    Ideas for the future!

    True that. And unless one isn't doing cargo missions, buying big ass cargo and trying to sell it all in one sweep often results in a loss, due to the prices falling like crazy in the face of the amounts dealt.

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    The following still refers to WIP 12: Well, so much for my ambitions to get cursed hardcore style. The fog is just to much of a hassle to make this worthwhile. Not that much for hindering the sight but much more for being really hard on the performance of my machine. Everything slows down...

    List of in-game ships per time period

    Fantastic! That 'll help.

    List of in-game ships per time period

    Is there somewhere a list or any comparable way to get an overview about which ships are used/can be found in the various eras?

    The REAL "Blackbeard"

    Interesting article. I agree that Blackbeard was as crazy as a shithouse rat. And yes, he certainly has no claim to be remembered as one of the all-time greats of piracy. I think his gimmick and intimidation tactics made him so notorious. However, I disagree on one thing: "He was known for...

    Captive Captains in Cargo Hold Bug

    You have to be at least a "well-known pirate" to join the brotherhood. If you are a "famous pirate" and a member of the brotherhood, you will be able to buy pirate modified ships in pirate shipyards. One way to quickly climb the ranks as pirate is to sign articles with your crew and sack in...

    Ideas for the future!

    Who knows if it ever will be perfect? It is amazing enough what you guys managed to do with the game, in spite of not being able to hardcode anything.

    Ideas for the future!

    Treasure fleet would be awsome. And it would be accurate to place it in the spanish main and the early explorers periods. This would allow daring expeditions and exploits ... Sir Francis Drake style!

    Solved Two minor annoyances

    Okay, that mystery is solved then.

    Solved Freeplay

    No, it started in 1994 with "Arena". But that was essentially a dungeon crawler. Things became more interesting with Daggerfall and then Morrowind. Then came Oblivion, which I am not a big fan of (boring 08/15 fantasy setting and a lackluster main story). The newest is Skyrim, which I have yet...

    Ideas for the future!

    I have a possible idea (or two) for the future. But I am not sure .... maybe I am just outta luck. Ever since I play iron man style, I NEVER have encountered a group of ships, that exceeds the number of four. When playing world map, one might very well encounter fleets of around eight ships...

    Solved Two minor annoyances

    I'd like to report two minor annoyances. They are in my game for quite a while now and reappear through different updates of the game - in spite of having started anew several times. Neither of the two is much of a problem .... but they appear to be bugs. 1. For some reason small amounts of...

    Solved Freeplay

    Many sandbox RPGs operate that way. Like the Elder Scrolls games. My favorite style of play. Everything is pretty much optional.
