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]

I don’t actually look at it that way. I look at it as if you take their money, you besmirch your own honor because of what they did. I never take the money unless its very clear its my only way out because I am heavily damaged and/or undermanned. Instead I always say no and demand surrender.

Once you have a decent reputation and have a…[Read more]

Hello again all, new quick question. I have been trying to no avail, to fix a texture file for the Armed English Galleon (Wicked Wench Model) in GOF Eras 2. WickedWench01_lamps.tga.tx is the file I have been attempting to alter. This file controls the textures for the lamps as well as the great-cabin windows.

On this particular model the cabin…[Read more]

Hi all,

IIRC there is a merchant who acts like a fence and buys off your goods irrespectively of your rep. So no need for Honest Face perk. Do I remember correctly and if so, who is he?

I agree, self defence should not result in rep decrease, neither “I`ll pay youf if you leave me alone, never mind I killed half of your crew when attacking your good self…”

Rgds, Oldtimer

Thank you very much for the information. It would seem that there truly is no honor among thieves, eh? Be they in service to the crown or to themselves. All kidding aside, thank you for this write up. I now see that there would be no way of truly knowing how it all works without looking at the internals.

From looking over what you’ve found, It…[Read more]

There are many, many things that affect reputation and from the looks of things, not all of them are intuitive or even consistent, if you ask me.

But, a short list, for the general idea…

Your personal reputation will go up if you do nice things for citizen quests (rescue husband/wife, find friend/deliver message), rescue woman in jungle from…[Read more]

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it very much.

1. Glad to hear it! Will look forward to using this fix this evening.

2. I may be the only one who finds the system hard to understand, however I just can find no rhyme or reason to how it truly works at all from simply an outward point of view. I look forward to seeing what you can find!…[Read more]
