What a crazy Island Antigua is in the new build! It's a bit messed up yet I like it! It only crashed my game once <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
What's crazy about it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

Things I like (So Far):
It's new, not just a carbon copy of anouther island. Right on!
The new soldiers are cool
Lot's of land to wander around on
When you load to a new part of the island in the jungles, there's a psychedelic load screen <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Things I found buggy:
They always cower in fear when I'm in the tavern , odd <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
There's an "Oxbay/Greenford" sign. I use these signs to keep oriented. I wonder if that can be re-skinned?
A billion guys attacked me, I gained lots of XP but then the game crashed <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />

I'll head back and do some more exploring. Cheers to the mod team! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Keep up the good work!
 
I will install the B14A8 next week.....i will explore all the new islands to check....Antigua will be the first in line now ^^
 
Actually I'd recommend to check St. Martin. I had a zillion skeletons attacking me there when I left the Phillipe (Dutch) town, also my officers we're invisible except for one. This was in daytime too.
 
i had bad experiences in that island in the Build mod 13 Final....i prefer to avoid St. Martin <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Is that the Redmond look-a-like Antigua or the completely new model? What game version are you running?
As far as the signs are concerned, they COULD indeed be reskinned, but it'd greatly increase modpack download size. Would be nice though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Please try St. Martin again. It shouldn't crash. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
I'm using build 13

The crash happened in Antigua out in the jungle. I don't think it's a big deal. Maybe there was too many guys fighting all at once and it overloaded my game

St. hasn't crashed for me (as of yet) and the scelletons we'rent really hard to fight, it was just that I had the picture of one of my first officer in the bottom of the screen, yet only the last one was actually there helping me fight.

I'll try St. Martin again after I finish the Oxbay "French takeover" quest first and make peace with them before I try St.Martin again though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Antigua looks completely different again in Build 14 Alpha 8, because people had been complaining over and over about the "weird" BuildingSet buildings used to make Antigua look different. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
 
Hmmm... I kinda liked the "weird" BuildingSet set because it was different. Oh well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

After I beat some of the "stock" quests, I'll d/l 14 alpha 8 then and give it a try.
 
The new Antigua is MORE different though. It's an AoP model that was further modified.
