<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Adding characters: Most of the AoP characters look rather cartoonish and don't seem to fit into the PotC game world. I did add the main characters from AoP, for those who want to use them as player characters, but other than that I would suggest to leave the AoP characters out.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree with yew on the looks of these characters, but was thinkin, even with the way they move they don't seem to fit player characters, but we probably could use more for NPC's either just to make newer Islands unique, or even for Enemy forces. By this I mean, well ok lets use Rys Bloom for example....He is one of my officers and yet sometimes I'm fighting 2 of him in the Jungles....or maybe just too make that tavern keeper on "Killamanjarro" look different than the one on Oxbay....Savvy! But not for player characters!
Weapons I agree completely.....unless they look different from what we got. Or unless someone adds a Special one for a quest....Like the Highland Claymore that belonged to "Bonnie" Prince Charlie, that was carried to the new world, instead of allowing it to fall into the hands of the English Army...somethnig like that...HINT!....HINT!!..bahahaha
Hey I love the different ships......But I have different views sometimes on the size of these...For instant, in most of my reading, ( Bolitho - Alexander Kent, Ramage - Dudley Pope....and even some Hornblower) I was led to believe that the Sloop was like a small Frigate, very similiar to a Corvette, which was predominantly a French vessel.....but in the build it is close to a Lugger. So what we have in the build seems different than what I pictured in my readings, and the ships seem wrong in sizes for me, same as Barquentines' and Brigatines'......But from what I know, and this is not extensive by any means, the ships are really hard to make for PC games, If we borrow to many of these we could run a foul....unless they be changed enough to keep people happy. Although the temptation is here to grabbed them all. If there are really nice different ones by all means...yes
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Maximus has, so far, been able to add character, ships and interior locations from AoP into PotC. He now reports he has also figured out how to add towns. Basically, this means we can add almost all land locations, ships and characters from AoP, so we can almost use their full content. I think we should decide on what parts of this we should add. Naturally, we want to add as much as possible, but I don't really want any trouble with Akella either. Please give your views on this matter.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<---- Here you sounded as if you liked the idea of more Buildings and Towns, and I agreed, I love What CCC and Screwface have done for the build, this will just give them more toys to use, and so we either keep the buildings the same...so the same governors mansion in one town, is used for the governors, in another clone town or we need new layouts. maybe it is only my pet peeve, but I see the Sign, on the tavern in a new town, and find out the building isn't being used.....this is just annoying and at least if I see the same street in a different town I know where I am....yet we can't get rid of these signs. So might as well use it, but then everything looks the same. I beleive, or hope that we will use more than one or two new towns.....sprinkle them out amongst the many that the new Islands can handle....We all know that the big Islands like Cuba, or Hispaniola, have other Towns that could have been added. But never the same one more than once. As for the interiors, used as many as we can, but again....if possible only once....maybe twice if we can. This way we keep most of the POTC stuff used alot, and a sprinkling of new ones for newer islands. If possible only use different buildings if they can be added to the game easier, than the originals. I understand there are/were limitations to using POTC buildings from my chats with CCC and readings. Is this the same with buildings from AOP? If not! Could we not use different buildngs and if so...then we make our towns completely different from the ones in AOP, and then I don't see as big a problem with Akella, but this might be wishful thinking!
No weapons, no ships....unless we get permission ( but I hate this personally )...all skins for NPC's and Enemies, keep the popular ones from POTC restricted for Officers only, not Enemies! and just the two for player characters if they are wanted that bad...( Beatrice wasn't bad, I tried her for the first time using a female skin as main, and she worked all right! Him....what is his name.....forgot...was just wrong....legs too long...looked out of place, so why anyone would want to use him is beyond me ) And as many buildings as we can use separately, but complete Towns, all we can get but only once
P.S. I know this is way too long already but.....In our Corporation, that I work for....they always say! It is easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission.....for what it is worth
