Anything that makes the travel map secondary and first person perspective sailing in the 3D world preferable is something I like. It makes the game world and my interactions with it feel realistic. Direct Sailing encounters is definitely a great step in the right direction! It sets Eras2 apart from other pirate games and “Sea Dogs clones” by…[Read more]

LOL, no joke. I figure there will be some complaints about those….hehehehe. There is an option to disable it, BTW.

Glad you chimed in…I remember your videos mentioning the annoying light flicker during certain hours/angles. We’ve all seen it, and after many attempts, and my claims in past updates where I tried to address that, but…[Read more]

I just tried out the new real time sailing encounters. That IS a game changer. Awesome job on that!

THX for your attn. Will check this out.
IMO all pirate shopkeepers should be fences and offer lower then normal prices when buying from PC and higher when selling to him.
After all they are a part of a criminal network.

We talked about this on YouTube awhile back. Sent you a PM.

hello, i downloaded the game a year or 2 ago not sure, i was playing it fine till a few days ago when i had to delete the game for space reasons, and now i downloaded the game again, but i cant play it nor can i find “START.exe” to launch the game, i’m confused, because i used to play the game and i even have more than 2 characters above 15 and i…[Read more]

I’m not positive on this, but you might try either bermuda or boddon’s landing. Unless you’re referring to the smugglers, who you can find in taverns. However smugglers only buy goods that are illegal in that particular city.

Jeffrey: I’ll head back to Marigot tonight and bombard the fort until it’s destroyed, assuming I have no option to board again, I’ll send you the file. Maybe it won’t let me board because not all of the guns were destroyed?

MK: Hi, I had already completed the English questline with this character prior to completing the pirate questline. The…[Read more]

There might be some particulars about when nations are all allies/neutral that, or some other facet that I will probably need a save (preferably if you have one just after you destroyed a fort and can’t board) and trace through some attributes and other elements to determine the cause because I’m not really sure. We’ve not done anything…[Read more]

Hi Marty,

Interesting. You’re treading on new ground as far as my experience goes. As long as I’ve played this game, the replayabilty factor is so extremely high that I have done a bunch of things this year I had never done before. I have still never played the Spanish quest line and have a character all ready to do so now. I plan to video my…[Read more]

Update: Just tried twice to capture Marigot again after completing the Pirate quest line (Morgan still hasn’t returned yet). First, I attacked from the jungle. Upon talking to the governor, I only had the option of looting the town.

I reloaded after this and tried attacking the fort from the sea. After bombarding it until roughly half of it’s…[Read more]

Wow, I didn’t know about that but I guess if someone is really serious about exploiting it you might as well consider removing backward compatibility for reasons…

LOL, should have kept quiet about it. Live it up now, but since I know about this exploit, it’s going on my “list.”

I thought there were already mechanics in the game to prevent that when we expanded the shipyard capability to 3 locations. But I see now that is only “after” the upgrade is complete; it obviously does not prevent starting them…[Read more]

Alright, I’m back again. This is more of feature than a bug, but it turns out that if you start to do an upgrade at Bermuda, Tortuga, or Boddon’s, and then you turn around and do the same upgrade at whichever other special shipyard, you can do the upgrade three times. For example:
1. Go to Bermuda, begin speed upgrade.
2. Go to Tortuga, begin…[Read more]

The musketeer problem is something that has been a common problem when the character is granted a different weapon and that specific character’s animation does not cater to anything other than the musket, so it can’t load with a different weapon. ERAS has logic where they choose their own weapon, so I’m wondering if this guy chose a different…[Read more]

Mr. Knight,

AFAIU you think that I besmirch my honour by taking money instead of “punishing” the attacker/s by destroying them. By morals of the time you could be right. For most people honour was then more important than life.

But by taking money you save lives of both parties. This might be an argument for increased rep with the nation of the…[Read more]

Hello again, got another couple of bugs. First one is that I have the quest double musketeer dude in my party, but he won’t actually show up in game. I had him and he was working just fine for a while, but all of the sudden went awol. I’ve tried dismissing and reassigning him to the fighter role a few times, but I’ve had no luck. The second bug is…[Read more]
