Items can give you bonuses based on what they are just like the books. Compass or navigation devices give navigation bonus. etc, etc, etc…

The only thing that could be considered somewhat magical is that some religious items can give luck bonuses. I explain in the narrative – motivation and state of mind (BELIEF) causes luck. Think of Dumbo’s…[Read more]

No. However its not like any ordinary sword because it has extremely high damage numbers assigned to it and it is worth such an incredibly high amount that you could almost buy a fleet with it. No magic weapons in ERAS.

Oh yeah, one other thing I wanted to mention. Regarding that link that you put up to TheBlackKnights mods and guides on PA!. He was actually working with me quite a lot before I got banned. When they threw me out of the boat, they put all of his posts together and plopped them in to replace what I had there before.

He wanted to run interference…[Read more]

What you are talking about is the elevation wedge. A mallet was used to adjust the piece until it lined up with the gunner’s quadrant. The weight of the gun would keep the wedge in place and often the bottom would have a little tar applied so it wouldn’t fly off the gun during recoil. In close battles a quadrant would never even be used.

Yeah I…[Read more]

Now these are cool videos. Thought I would add them to this discussion because they are right at home here. Beautiful replica bronze 24 pounders of the Dutch pattern. The type of guns that the Dutch built Swedish flagship Wasa had aboard.…[Read more]

So use anything you want Maltacus. We welcome the discussion and the publicity. I am always happy to talk about artillery. It is one of my favorite subjects. In fact your question caused me to pull an old article out of mothballs that PA! had deleted years ago. So take a look here:…[Read more]

OK so I just wanted to let the community know that I am going to be out of the loop for the next week or two.

First off I am heading down to Utah to sit down and talk face to face with someone whom I very much hope will be our web developer – the guy who will perform the website rebuild we have wanted and have talked about for the last year or…[Read more]

Thanks for the screenshots Maltacus. I hope others enjoy them as much as I do. I LOVE that large battle scene. I just regret I can’t make the image larger.

OMG that last one is HILARIOUS! LMAO

So here’s some from me. First is from my Spanish game with Alonso Ramirez. I just finished the Brig Queen quest and got Daniele Shephard as an officer.…[Read more]

I have meant to take this up as a subject for a long time but just never did because I am nearly always distracted by something else I am doing or working on.

So the first thing you need to ask yourself is WHY MOD? What is the purpose of your mod? Is there something you don’t like or that you would like to be done better? The first thing you…[Read more]

DAMN!!! I forgot one file in the DL.

I am going to post the link here.

WARNING if you are a loyal member and do not have the update above this file will screw up your game – in fact it will not run because the ships it will be looking for are not in your game. ONLY if you have already put the update above in your game – also put this file in…[Read more]

Just a couple of things I wanna throw out there.

1). @Maltacus, yeah that bug you mention is not always consistent and Jeffrey and I have talked about it before. It is on the list and is a fix we plan on getting to eventually. It will probably be fixed as a result of some of the new AI work Jeffrey is implementing anyway. It stems from the…[Read more]

Yes she was originally Ciri, but now she is Helen Tavrel.

I thought she matched up to Howard’s description quite well.

I can’t really say when she will be available. I am not putting her in the loyalty update that will be going out later today because Jeffrey I think planned to make her part of a later more comprehensive engine update. That…[Read more]

Well I suppose I can see why you would think they look funny when they are a commonly seen phenomena.

However, they are extremely accurate for the Spaniards of this time in their Naval Transportation department. LOL

Usually just as the pure red battle flags identified an admiral, commander or royal aboard, the chevrons were usually on the group…[Read more]
