Hire crew

First of all... I'm new to this forum. :D

So, I've installed build mod 13 final and some other things like the fix, filmships, etc

I've just started with the mission to find Rheims, but due to mutiny aboard my ship, I have 0 crew members and I can't hire any more for some reason.. :S When I go to a tavern on Oxbay or Redmond ( Don't know about the ones from the other islands ) it shows that there is only 1 or 0 people to hire. My minimum crew needs to be 500, but I can't reach it anymore...

Maybe this is caused by my reputation: Horror of the high seas :p

Maybe there is a way to always have a x amount of crew members, or something like that?
 
Every day, there is at least a few crewmembers available for hire.
However, once you hired them, there won't be any left until the next day.
So spend the night in the tavern, then try again and there should be some crewmebers available once more.
 
you could also try and see if you can repair your ship in the shipyard on a pirate island, with your bad reputation and all. it's supposed to fill the crew back up.
 
Though if I recall, doing that does take into account the amount of crew available in the town.
 
maybe. i've never had the necessity to buy that much crew.


If I don't have that much crew it will take ages to reload my cannons :p

I'll try and see what happens when I repair my ship or stay a night in the tavern...

EDIT:

Tried them both, didn't work... Then I sailed to Tortuga with 2 crew member and hired 'bout 1600 men there, lol.

But I guess I'm gonna need to get a better reputation because some traders don't want to sell goods to me etc, same goes for the church if I ask them for help or anything... What would be the fastesd way to get a better reputation?
 
sinking ships, oddly enough. survivors always give a slight boost per group.
 
True. AND it'll even give you crew too.

The trick of waiting in the tavern for a night definitly SHOULD work though.
I coded it in at some point and I used it very recently.
I'm just not 100% sure if it's in Build 13 or only Build 14 Beta 1.
It IS an old mod of mine and I think it DID make it into Build 13 though.
