The only chests that I’m sure are safe are directly in the ship cabin; the chests found in the hold are probably not safe as they will probably despawn.

Some cabins have several chests, some only have one, but items stored in any of the cabin chests will remain forever. If you switch from a cabin with multiple chests, to a cabin with only one,…[Read more]

Good to know.

Is there a link or someway to point us to these French shanties? We could add them to the game.

Your post comes at a coincidental time, as MK recently notified me of character problems in his game. He sent me a save and I eventually discovered a flaw from the original COAS handling of quest passengers and quest merchant escorts; the characters for those two never dissolve from the “character array” held in the game, even if you decline…[Read more]

I solved the issue. It was indeed an outdated Maelstrom. Now there are no more crashes.

Hello Everyone.

So i still have the crush. Do i need to re-install Maelstrom or what?

Hi all,

started a new playthrough and atm it WAD:s. Older playthroughs did not rectify themselves though. Your passengers will, however, complain abt. late arrival(thus you will know their destination) so it`s not game-destroying but annoying as you know what…

Rgds, Oldtimer

I have an issue in the new update. The game crash after a while. Anyone having this issue or knows how to fix it?

Passenger destination.

As of now only one passenger is shown with his destination in the logbook. Other passengers present onboard lack this info and do not show in the logbook at all.

Dear devs,

upgraded ERAS yesterday and would like to know if there are new and/or reskinned ships added. I see some I do not recognize and they look gorgeous!

THX awfully for your hard work and dedication!

I really liked the French shanties. Sadly there’s too few… I found on Youtube over 15 French shanties. I think its a very good idea if you guys would add it for the French.

Is there any way to change Blackbeard’s Hair? I really want to play him with Black hair. Not a wig…

Workaround: strip your operational cannons to hold, buy missing and install. My zabra now has 2-6-6-4 layout. None in the hold.

Cannon Control.

Bought 2 culverins to replace lost ones on my zabra. When I try to install them they stay in the hold and cannon layout changes to 6 per broadside and 4 stern.

Well, that might(?) explain things. I “changed” flag to English which the French thought fishy. I could tell the guards that I flew English flag though… Anyway when under Spanish flag which I “flew” on being washed ashore I was friendly to Spanish patrols but not city guards.
I did not think abt. entering a French settlement…[Read more]

That did it, many thanks Jeffrey.

Find the following lines and comment out the if( and the closing brace } lines like this:

//#20190113-03
//if(!CheckAttribute(arItm, "skipPerkCheck")) {
chref.model = GetSubStringByNum(chref.HeroModel, sti(arItm.model));
//#20180103-02 Hero animation extension
if (CheckAttribute(chref, "HeroAnim"))…[Read more]

The shore chosen is not fully random. I actually give the player a better chance, as it would suck to wind up an English character, stuck on Saint Martin, with only the enemy Dutch town of Marigot. So how it works:

It will only choose shores on islands with colony nations that match whatever Flag perks your character can fly. However, the game…[Read more]
