Great graphics for Sea Battles

[Jason]

I just spent a couple of hours with a lot sea battles among mostly bigger ships and it reminded me how much the sea battle graphics have imporved in build 11. Lots of falling masts, great secondary explosions, pieces flying off ships, etc.

I don't know which individuals are responsible, but I just wanted to say thanks. great job to the team that did it. This is a huge improvement over the original game.


Nice job and thanks!

Well, a hearty thank you + you're welcome, from all us modders. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Regarding the patch.
Akella released two (three?) patches for the Russian (and IIRC thanks to, um, some kind person here Polish {durnit, forgot your name <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />: }) version. They enabled masts falling over, shrunken dialog, good graphics for Geforce FX based cards, and some new quests and gameplay (the latter haven't been brought over yet).
There is also at least one, if not two, `fan-made` (well, _making_) expansions to the game in the Russian POTC community.

Plus expansions/new games from Akella itself, actually.
