I have finally made it, after about 4 months of dedicated work. I want to share with you the Buccaneers reef GoF 1.2 refined mod for Maelstrom engine. Here’s the intro video:

Sorry bad place for the post

Probably a good ship for the game
What I’m suggesting is to add this Spanish Man’o’War to the game. Of course, I don’t know how difficul is to add a new ship model to the game, but I think a lot of people ill enjoy this ship in the game.

The original game only allowed a specific ship type. The when GOF introduced more ships, many of them would fail the test, which would be costly trying to buy the correct one, failing many times with no real clue. So to make it slightly easier, we changed the ship check to simply allow any ship with 16 guns or fewer and a max crew less than 75.…[Read more]

That was it…either the Veinard Heavy Sloop was too big, or it being upgraded interfered. I got another class 6 with no upgrade, a schooner, and got a log update showing he would all for the ruse.

Ok, so if I sail out of Port of Spain heading west, and maybe exit to sea once I round the peninsula toward Cumana, that might work? I’ll try that, maybe criss-cross over a few days, then approach from the opposite direction.

Do upgraded class 6 ships interfere with the quest? I did upgrade the speed and point of sail.

First, it does work because I just tested it.

Second, you can still capture cities once you get to the place in the Morgan questline where he tells you to go do your own thing for a while which allows you to do a Nation questline. Once the nation questline is complete you can capture cities anyway.

Third, its very forgiving. Jeffrey and I did…[Read more]

I ran into a punitive expedition from the Spanish last night…that was intense. There were 10 ships, and some were carracks with 42 and 36 pounders. Class 4 frigates minimum, everything else was class 3 galleons/carracks, 6 ships kept distance and ran away, so idk if there were any more powerful in the group. I do believe those are rare spawns,…[Read more]

Holy crap, that looks badass; the ship looks like a million…daalders lol. And it should, too. I wonder about the inside; would it have had Indian influence for the interior cabin?

“My God the Ships” I love it! Thanks for the compliments.

Welcome Korinthian and I am glad you are enjoying the experience.

So some things to consider. I have carefully looked at the trajectories for years and the simulation is accurately depicting them. The windage tollerances (blow-by of propellant) of that era meant that the flat…[Read more]

So I finished the ship. It turned out pretty good. The screenshots turned out kind of dark. Anyhow, here’s a few.…[Read more]

Hey Korinthian! On your first item, class 2 ships and class 1 ships usually stay at important ports. Look to Puertobello and Santa Catalina, or Havana; those should provide a good nearby lead for you to act on, no matter where you are in the Caribbean. Also, if you accept random convoy attack missions, it looks like quite a few characters have…[Read more]

Hi,

re:

2. Yes, the LATERAL bearing angle of cannons must be narrowed down considerably.

3. Yes, sail get ripped much too easy.

4. You must do national quests to increase your rep and be promoted.

Still, the difficulty lvl is affecting your dam susceptibility. I play on Admiral and take a lot of dam even when fighting ships 3 classes below…[Read more]

“Thanks for sharing your screenshots! Looks like you’re having fun. Can’t wait to show off the new textures for the Ganji Sawai. Will be finished today.”

I friggin love this game, man; well worth the effort in setting it up, and paying for the engine. I can’t wait to see what the Ganji will look like.

“It appears the emblems on the sails ava…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your screenshots! Looks like you’re having fun. Can’t wait to show off the new textures for the Ganji Sawai. Will be finished today.

It appears the emblems on the sails available from the special shipyards is not working right again. Will have to talk to Jeffrey about that. Was that what you selected for your brig or were you…[Read more]
