    Go to Google Maps. Look for "Genoenhuis Geldrop". Look at the street names.

    Starting ship

    At present, Captain Jack Sparrow starts the game as an honest merchant in command of a naval cutter with hardly any cargo capacity because it's a naval ship, a warship - not a trading ship. So he's not going to make honest money because the storekeepers fleece him whenever he buys and sells...

    Flying pirate

    Found on a modelling forum: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235159250-148-roden-gloster-gladiator/ Scroll down to see the side view. :pflag (I found a different website showing more information about the kit. It's not really a pirate aircraft, it belonged to a group of...

    Changing the law

    My current project is to overhaul the way attacks on ships are classed as legal or not. At present, either sinking, looting or capturing an enemy ship is piracy unless you have a Letter of Marque from a nation hostile to the target. If you do, it's a legal attack if you fly any non-pirate flag...

    Fix in Progress What if Francois Moulin doesn't make it?

    You're playing the sidequest Find Angelique Moulin's Father. You've killed Antoine Chamfort, returned to Buccaneers Camp and told Francois the good news, and now he's following you through the jungle back to town. Unfortunately, you're attacked by bandits and Francois is killed in the...

    Tres Hombres

    Found on a scale model forum: Kriegsfischkutter—1/72–Special Navy The thread is about someone's large scale model of a WW2 German fishing trawler. The bit that's going to interest folks here is this paragraph: Here's the website of the Tres Hombres: Tres Hombres - Fairtransport They even...

    Santiano

    This band is German and previously most of their videos were in German. They've translated their signature song into English now.

    Squire of the Sea

    Nice work! :cheers Of particular interest are the one with dark hair, white shirt and blue trousers and the one with fair hair and light blue dress. Here's why: On the left, character model "50_33Petra". On the right, "towngirl1". If you go into a tavern in PoTC, you'll often see a random...

    Flying false colours

    Finally, time for the answer. It's flying false colours. Formerly Spanish, it now has a British owner. And the reason I'm finally writing about it again is that I've recently built a model of it: It's a Hispano Aviacion HA-1112 M1L. True, it was a licence-built copy of a famous German WW2...

    Reputation tweak

    I've made a little change to dialog file "Enc_walker.c". If you're "Hero" or "Dashing" and you refuse to help a beggar, lose 1 reputation. The same beggar who would tell the world how nice you are and raise your reputation by 1 when you're "Matey" or less, now tells the world that you're not...

    WIP Improvements to "Manowar" models

    This is Silehard's flagship Sovereign of the Seas, alias "manowar1". The rigging can be diplomatically described as "minimalist". So here's what I've been doing recently: I'm particularly pleased with the ropes which are tied to the hull, such as backstays and mainbraces. Because...

    Odd things after Cozumel

    You've defeated the Black Pearl, you've gone to Port Royale and told the new governor what you did to Silehard, you leave the residence and talk to Danielle. When you return to the port or beach, Danielle talks again about going to see the governor about a reward for Silehard. The reason is in...

    Fixed Unable to sail to Peninsula de Zapata

    Playing "Ardent", I found an odd little bug. It was near the end of "Imperial Escort". I'd defeated the kidnappers' ship and wanted to use Sail To to zap back to the mooring point to go after the kidnappers in the cave. But Peninsula de Zapata did not show up in the Sail To destinations...

    False naval flags

    You're trying to sneak into a hostile port using a false flag. Because you have no LoM, that false flag is the naval type. If you're in a pure warship such as a frigate, that's a bit of a giveaway, isn't it? Because anyone legitimately in charge of a frigate either bought it (which requires a...

    Gherarde de Jongh is not hostile

    @Bartolomeu o Portugues: I've just returned to Bocht Van Hato with the Darien idol, fought Gherarde de Jongh's soldiers, and put to sea. There's his ship next to me and he's not hostile - I have an enhanced compass which shows friends such as Roxanne Lalliere in green, enemies in red, and...

    New Build

    Not Build 14 vs. Build 15, but the Building kit. :D Dialog file "Enc_Officer_dialog.c" tries to use bricks, inconsistently, and in particular it wants to use attribute "building.bricks". The problem is that functions 'InitBLDexterior' and 'InitBLDinterior' don't set that attribute, nor do the...

    Model show

    Here's one of the things I get up to at weekends. This was a big model exhibition. I had a few of mine on display. None of them were nautical; I do have some ships but I don't have a real car, so I have to carry the models while travelling by bus, and my ships would probably not have survived...

    Sea duels can ruin your career

    Sometimes in a tavern, you'll meet another captain. Various random things can happen if you talk to him. In particular, if you're in a friendly port, the conversation may go like this: Him: "Yes? What do you want, captain?" You: "It seems you are sitting at our table! That's a problem between...

    Should zombie Charles Baxter be able to surrender?

    @Bartolomeu o Portugues: Quest case "seezombie" does not contain anything to prevent the resurrected Charles Baxter from surrendering, either before or after boarding. That means you may be able to recruit him as an officer. Should he have a "nosurrender = 2" to make sure you kill rather than...

    Period-dependent ship names

    I don't want to see a British ship named Hood in my game. Not because that was the name of a ship which was famously sunk in WW2, but because that ship plus a couple more before it were named after Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood, an admiral who made his name in several battles during the late...
