Greetings All! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

I am new to playing Age of Pirates (and to this forum) and I have a few questions. I'm sure they have already been discussed, but I did try to look thru the topics and, well I got dizzy just trying to sort thru them all!
So, if someone would please induldge an ol' pirate broad. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

First, I would like to start by saying that I have played both Pirates of the Carribean and Age of Pirates and both are great games, but I do think that AoP is a bit better. And, IMHO, I think it is the true sequel to the vernerable yet ever popular SeaDogs. However, there are some aspects to PotC that are conspicuously absent from AoP. I also know that Akella and its usual partner, Bethesda are aware of the huge modding community that follow their games and so they design them with that in mind. So, I was wondering if there were patches, add-ons or other mods that help? (BTW, my game version is 1.4, so I assume it is "pre-patched".)

1) In PotC, I like the ability to leave the town and explore the island, looking for caves, dungeons or adventure. Is there something around to add that to AoP?

2) In PotC, there is a greater variety of items, such as jems and artifacts. Something like that for AoP?

3) In PotC, you can buy personal items from merchants and not just the street venders. Something for that in AoP?

4) PotC modding community have created a whole new line of itmes such as muskets and a compass (Yes, I know it is quest related, but it was never in the original game.). And I was wondering if armor was possible to add?

5) What about the Banks? Do they have a purpose? And, it appears there might be other buildings that could be activated?

Thanks all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> I know this is a very long post, but I really did literally get dizzy trying to go thru all the old posts. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> (I am a blonde IRL!)

EDIT: Oh, one last thing- any way to get rid of "StarForce"? It is a really bad thing! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
Ok, Ok! I think I found what I was asking about. Well, it is the SuperMod that has what I was looking for. And I found the post about getting rid of SF.
 
Hello, Mary!

OK, if you've found the Supermod then things are a bit simpler.

1. Yes, but there's not much to do. You can't walk to another town on the same island, but you can walk to the beach. If you haven't picked a high difficulty level which disables it, you can use "Sail to" to get to the bay, moor, then walk to town. This is a more scenic way of getting into hostile ports than just using "Sneak". Don't kill random thugs as it harms your reputation. And if you've played PoTC, you may recognise the scenery. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

2. No.

3. No.

4. There are some extra weapons but no armour.

5. Banks do the same as loansharks in PoTC. There are also brothels (pay money, watch a porn flick, get some experience points) and some houses (which you can't burgle like in PoTC, but the owner may be at home and tell you to get out).

Morgan, sorry for the curt answer. I am kind of frustrated with PotC right now. Hopefully, I have found a few modding tips that might help.
 
Yep! Looks like I did. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Now, if I can just find out how to make the main character character female. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
select her at the start. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
HOW? Remember, I have the "stock" game with no mods installed, only the ones I did myself.

PS: I also send you a parrot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />



EDIT: Oh, and where is the armor? Though I have been reading that it is rather ugly!
 
and i shot the parrot back. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> sorry, but it's WAY faster than just flying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

no, the armor's nicely done actually. it's just that it simply doesn't fit the character sometimes.
 
Got it! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Yep. Shooting is faster than flying! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
