Against all flags, pirates inclusive…

“I’ve also updated ERAS many times and Itch will also keep that updated if you used the client to install to location.”

Could you please explain to me how that works?

Yes, Maelstrom is constantly being updated and/or fixed. Since releasing on Itch, I’ve updated 45 times: https://chezjfrey.itch.io/gentlemen-of-fortune-maelstrom-engine/devlog

Alright, thanks for clarifying! Good to know, since my fave color is blue anyways 🙂 Apologies for my ignorance about ship colors, as well

There is, but it’s not a trivial task. The extra dialogs for the ship options (copied from Bermudes) need to be appended to the string array for each shipyard in the ProgramTextrussianDialogsShipyard*.h files and the array resized to accommodate the newly added lines.

Then the shipyard dialog logic implementations need to be copied from Bermudes…[Read more]

Not bugged. There are 4 color combinations for that ship. You can tell how many variations we have for each ship under its texture directory. This one has hull1-hull4, so there are 4 different color schemes. They are randomly assigned to the ship.

We also added an option to the original game, where you can pay the shipyarder to randomly…[Read more]

I didn’t know Notepad++ can do that kind of search function! Thank you for both bringing that to my attention and the solution! Cheers, and have a happy December!

How and what to edit depends on the perk and its effect type. Here is a way to seek them out in the code.

First, find the actual perk attribute name. Do this by opening file RESOURCEINItextsrussianAbilityDescribe.txt

Scrolling through the file, we find where Clever Shot equates to the GunProfessional:

GunProfessional {Clever Shot}
