Isn’t this awesome!

I wont ruin the surprise, but Jeffrey’s fixing of all of these old irritating over simplified AI problems is a result of two other things which we are trying to achieve on our priority list. He’s been finding and fixing these issues as he has been working on the following listed priorities.

1) better and more…[Read more]

I like to put my money in the banks. I like to buy my favorite ships and put them in storage. I also like to perform every upgrade on my favorite ships which usually makes me flat broke if I do two ships at the same time.

Jeffrey and I are trying to figure out how we could bury treasure as a future capability as well.

Michiel,

I will definitely give that website a look. I am very aware of Jan Jansz’ career. I am covering him along with other Europeans that went into the service of Barbary in a chapter in my book. He was one of the greatest of the Salee raiders. Did you know that when he returned during that visit which you described that his wife and children…[Read more]

I love what you’ve done with those Maltacus.

As far as online sources go I don’t know of any. However, in my own library I have EXCELLENT sources. Not only do I have original access to work orders for specific paints in “Six Galleons for the King”, I also have Chatterton’s 1924 book on Ship decorations which covers color conventions for…[Read more]

I always love inspiration Orazio!

Yup those are the correct ones.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hey Old Timer,

Actually one of our Russian members is looking at that and working on torches right now. BTW @ElGriffo (Rob) I found the files you wanted and will send you a link to download before the end of the day.

As far as the yachts are concerned you are totally right and I will make the appropriate changes. I am also very fond of them…[Read more]

Nice shot Maltacus.

I am also in love with the Olandesa.

To answer your questions, the only reasons the colors you see are the way they are is because of my historical research. Those are the colors that were actually used. However as far as railings are concerned, red and black were indeed both often used on Spanish naval ships.

PLUS: our…[Read more]

Hey I’m all for it Dennis.

Hopefully some folks will want to try. However, don’t count on it. If people really wanted to talk about their experiences with ERAS they would already have done so here – regardless of the website being slow.

I know some people have – including yourself. I still loved that running logbook post you did a couple years…[Read more]

Careful “youse mugs”, don’t want your posts to be considered “hate speech” do ya! LOL

You know when a couple of folks mentioned to me that they thought he was on the take over a month ago I thought they could be right – however, given the last week of posts on that thread, I no longer believe that could be true. If it were – he would have shut up…[Read more]

Awesome shots again!

Got your email Maltacus. Thank you for the pointers and the frames. I will definitely be playing with them. I just DL’d a new free version of D3Dgear today as well which possibly might improve the movie issues I have been having. We will see if screenshots are improved as well.

OMG Jack forgive me. I skimmed through your post so fast I just missed it entirely.

Did you try the config tweak?

Have you tried opening your GTX 970 to see what options are available for it? You should be able to simply right click on your primary monitor screen and see an option to go to your video card menu. It will probably offer you a…[Read more]

WOW! I am really enjoying your screenshots Maltacus! Thanks for sharing. I am going to have to look into GIMP I guess because I just love those borders and your screens almost look like they are out of a story or a comic book – SO COOL!

I love your narrative along with the pictures about the Spraggues. SEE this is what I have been writing about…[Read more]

You know this gets me thinking…. dangerous I know. Wouldn’t it be great if we could base the hostility factor on “FAME” points rather than nation flag. Certainly if you have a good reputation with that nation, you can sail right into the port provided you fly a friendly/neutral flag. However, even if you ARE a pirate, if you just haven’t done…[Read more]

Sorry, that’s totally my fault. You know I often work on this stuff late at night. I don’t make as many mistakes as I used to I suppose.

Pretty good specs Jack.

So my question is – do you have a video card installed or are you relying on the on board chipset that was installed in the Intel suite? If you have a separate video card we can probably tailor your computer to play the game with no graphical anomalies. If not I know a couple of tricks that might work to make it more…[Read more]

ORAZIO!!! Man that cabin is exactly what I wanted man! Thanks Mate!!! THAT IS AWESOME! I LOVE IT!

I just wanted to add a couple more things to what I talked about above. First I wanted to say that the double line capability that Jeffrey has added to this game is simply awesome applied to your own squadron during gameplay.

OMG! if you choose…[Read more]
