Wow that sounds really great Wisnu. Is that what I should call you? I would love to see all of those places you described. I am particularly interested in any Dutch Artillery you might know of. Funny story. My last year in the US Army I was working at Ft. Belvoir quite a lot. That old Army base has lots of old cannon brought back during the…[Read more]

So I feel like the dummy here. Are you telling me that we can enjoy higher quality textures in the game with less memory involved in the process?

Also Orazio, I don’t see your images on this page now. Did something happen to them. I can upload them to our repository on the this website if you like. I can probably figure out how to give…[Read more]

If you want to know the real truth they say a picture is worth a thousand words. PA!’s admins may not understand this because they never listened very well. Below is the REAL singular reason why I was so upset and what led to my posts being deleted, the admins just ignoring it and banning me. Not really fair. My Waterloo with them that I lost…..…[Read more]

WOW! That looks absolutely INCREDIBLE Orazio. I told Jeffrey just the other day that I’ve never played the Spanish Questline after all of these years playing the game. There are some awesome new Spanish characters in the new version and with the new flags Spanish ships will be more glorious than ever! So when she is ready to sail, I will be…[Read more]

Very cool Dennis! So are these Bogatyrs a derivation of the word Boyar? Very interesting and thank you for sharing the medieval history piece. I am way more knowledgeable of Russian history from the rise of the Muscovite Trading company through Pieter the Great up to WWI. It’s no surprise to me that the medieval Russian military adopted the Viking…[Read more]

Well I brought the Holocaust up as an example that there are events which should be remembered ever so often, I could have picked evenly the 100 years war or the “cleansing” that you mentioned that was orchistrated by Josef Stalin and Trotzki. Im no Jew and I didnt take you as antisemitic so no harm on either side. Maybe I picked the wrong example…[Read more]

Fascinating! Actually the VOC kicked the English out of Jakarta and deposed the local ruler in 1619 (renaming it Batavia at that time) and then began immediately pushing deeper into greater Indonesia and the Mollucas throughout the rest of the century. The other native rulers complied with this because they recognized the native attack against the…[Read more]

Hilarious! I saw the topic on PA! when it first appeared as I was pulling another all nighter to get 1.6.0 finished. It stayed up there for several hours (like 4 or 5) before YOU KNOW WHO deleted his previous comments and yours. Then he puts it back up last night after he has edited it with the link back to here deleted.

Once again he validates…[Read more]

The straight 1.5.7 has some bugs still without Jeffrey’s new program content. You can download just his new ERAS patches and point it to the resources in 1.5.7. He has instructions. If you want to keep playing that bug will go away after a while. It has something to do with enemy captain level vs your level. As you level up higher this bug will go…[Read more]

Hiya Dennis!

Thanks for the support and the kind words mate. It really means a lot. THANKS!!!!

The only reason I talked about taking this topic down after a few days is that I consider all of this to be so petty and desperately would like to leave it far behind and in the past. However when those guys continue to dredge it up it just seems to…[Read more]

LOL! Your first sentence says in a nutshell why I write so many of the historical articles I do in order to reintroduce REAL historical truths back into the macro discussion of history for consideration.

Thank you for the excellent response! I am fascinated and would like to learn more. I took two long trips last year which were very historical…[Read more]

Hey MK,

I would say that this thread is a great reminder of a monument as the reason why this site got created in the first place.
PA! is on a downwards way, not being able to adjust to the current.
Too many wrong decisions have been made to reprimand anything. But thats not what this thread is here for.
THis thread is a reminder of how some PA!…[Read more]

I am glad you are enjoying the historical ambiance. This is the main reason I created the ERAS mods to begin with. Many of our Dutch WIC ships are identical to their VOC equivalents and I feel the Dutch finally get their actual historical presence in our game here than in any other historical game on the planet.

Actually the Dutch were every bit…[Read more]
