Hi all,

you are on to something Marty, but a better solution would be that irrespectively of difficulty lvl the player could specify himself the chance to find things. I have suggested this several times.
As of now I play on Admiral with class 7 ships mostly. Though I must often run or ransom myself from strong enemies I cannot help getting…[Read more]

Hey modernknight1 🙂

For what it’s worth: please keep going. Also, please keep us posted.

There’s not much to say for me regarding the many problems you’ve had to deal with, except that I’m rooting for you. 🙂

That being said, it’s certainly untrue that Oldtimer is the only person interested.

As far as the Facebook stuff goes: I don’t see any…[Read more]

I know it’s been a few months, but this would still be great to have. 🙂

I am an Italian Fans of this title and of your work, in my small way I tried to contribute to the cause, in fact I would also be willing to translate the game into Italian if you send me the documentation, between one commitment and another, I really appreciate the your job and I say that it is pleasant that the game still keeps up to date, what…[Read more]

Sail to Bridgetown? Why?

Sail to function does not work around Barbados, only ships show up but no shore locations.

Mr. Knight,

that was a sad read. Im greatly honoured by your appreciation of my presence here but unfortunately Im not able to help in any substantial way. No coding knowledge and lousy health.
I totally understand your disappointment that so much quality receives so little recognition, I`m disappointed by it too. Perhaps migrating to GOG, Steam…[Read more]

Really appreciate the kind words Marty. It’s really very nice to hear after so much silence for so long. I don’t even know what to say except thanks.

I feel like the dog who has been experimented on his whole life in a cage and suddenly is let out in the grass – and his reaction with his first experience of what grass feels like on his feet.

No one is more unhappy or disappointed about how everything has gone than yours truly.

I could write a long diatribe of how I feel and what I’ve thought about doing and why things are where they are, but I don’t really think at this point anyone cares or would read it anyway.

Yeah Jeffrey is sitting on a bunch of content I gave him a year ago -…[Read more]

This code was modified slightly and I found that I needed to swap two lines in the source for it to properly recognize the scripts wanted it off. I fixed this and uploaded it to Itch.

Nothing related to wind has changed at all, so that may just have been a long string of bad luck during the random weather changes.

Hi all,

upgraded Maelstrom today and winds blow again, no freezes either.
But it`s not possible to totally remove foliage any longer. Low foliage density however works and seems sufficient for precious stone searching.

Some good ideas there, especially porting through a more high profile platform like Steam. Have noticed a lot more interest on there for games not a fraction as good as ERAS is now, never mind how it could be. Great content will often trump graphics for a certain audience. This game has a lot to offer to a bigger audience, if they knew it was there.

Well put Marty. Having discovered this site last year, I too would like to extend my congratulations and appreciation to Moderknight and Jeffrey and all others who have contributed. Thanks for the hard work, time and willingness to help and advice when asked for said help. Once again appreciated guys.

Winds stop blowing…

After a couple of latest updates wind speed when entering 3D-sailing falls below 3 on next change and stays there no matter what. If that is by design then it is a very bad change. Battles in particular become boring.
Playing on Admiral if that matters.

Mr. Jeffrey,

after posting my freezing problem I played a session of more than 2 hrs without any frozen screens. And just for the record:

– game froze on changing cell and when I restarted there was a save from the cell I was going to…

I updated as per your post above and have not had this problem as of yet.

THX for your attn.,

Oldtimer

A slow and steady decrease in stability? Whatever…it runs faster and without any trouble on my machine and has been perfectly fine for me for a long time.

Since I have no problems, I can only guess at what might be causing your issue. I just uploaded another version. If that still causes you an issue, add this to the top of your start.ini…[Read more]

Game stops responding,

abt. once/30 min. after latest update. Screen freezes and exit is only by task manager.
I see a slow but steady decrease in stability of the game.
Worrisome.

Hi all,

sailing for England I encounter 4 Spaniards. I paid off 3, they became neutral. 4-th was out of speaking range so remained hostile.
Anyway, the 3 “neutrals” continued chasing and shooting at me. My standing with Spain is neutral. B-d-y annoying if you ask me.

Rgds, Oldtimer

That’s actually great news. I thought that you might say that while the stuff in the non-main cabin chests wouldn’t despawn, it would disappear if you switched ships or something.

The treasure burying thing is cool too, I’ve found a caching chest so far, but no spade (fingers crossed). I’m excited to try that feature out.
