Update: Just tried twice to capture Marigot again after completing the Pirate quest line (Morgan still hasn’t returned yet). First, I attacked from the jungle. Upon talking to the governor, I only had the option of looting the town.
I reloaded after this and tried attacking the fort from the sea. After bombarding it until roughly half of it’s guns were destroyed, I got a message in the upper lefthand corner that said the fort was destroyed and that I gained experience. However, there was no option to “board” the fort, even when I sailed right next to it. My only option was to moor, which just did it’s normal thing. I had the “black” flying this whole time.
I am still unsure if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong. Please advise?
Alright, I’m back again. This is more of feature than a bug, but it turns out that if you start to do an upgrade at Bermuda, Tortuga, or Boddon’s, and then you turn around and do the same upgrade at whichever other special shipyard, you can do the upgrade three times. For example:
1. Go to Bermuda, begin speed upgrade.
2. Go to Tortuga, begin speed upgrade.
3. Go to Boddon’s, begin speed upgrade.
4. Deliver all supplies to Boddon’s and finish upgrade. Now speed is enhanced.
5. Deliver all supplies to Tortuga and finish upgrade. Speed is further enhanced.
6. Deliver all supplies to Bermuda and finish original upgrade. Speed is enhanced for a third time.
Results of doing all upgrades besides crew and hull:
Seems a bit OP, but I’m having a ton of fun with it.

Hello again, got another couple of bugs. First one is that I have the quest double musketeer dude in my party, but he won’t actually show up in game. I had him and he was working just fine for a while, but all of the sudden went awol. I’ve tried dismissing and reassigning him to the fighter role a few times, but I’ve had no luck. The second bug is that my 102 gun 1st Rater can only equip 100 guns. No matter what I do, I can’t get the last two guns on there. I have a save available if you’d like me to send it over.
Hi, I’m playing the newest version and I’ve been having an issue where immediately upon docking at certain cities (i.e. immediately as the scene loads) I’m immediately stormed by the guards. This happens in Cartagena and annoyingly in the Bermuda pirate settlement as well. Furthermore I have a small bounty from the Dutch, but there is no option at the diplomat to pay it off and when I bought a trading license and talked to a dutch governor, there was no option to reconcile. Am I missing something here or is this a bug? I have been flying the portuguese flag this entire time. Portugal is peaceful with everyone.
EDIT: Looks like I’m having a similar/identical issue to Filipe

That’s actually great news. I thought that you might say that while the stuff in the non-main cabin chests wouldn’t despawn, it would disappear if you switched ships or something.
The treasure burying thing is cool too, I’ve found a caching chest so far, but no spade (fingers crossed). I’m excited to try that feature out.
I’m not positive on this, but you might try either bermuda or boddon’s landing. Unless you’re referring to the smugglers, who you can find in taverns. However smugglers only buy goods that are illegal in that particular city.
Jeffrey: I’ll head back to Marigot tonight and bombard the fort until it’s destroyed, assuming I have no option to board again, I’ll send you the file. Maybe it won’t let me board because not all of the guns were destroyed?
MK: Hi, I had already completed the English questline with this character prior to completing the pirate questline. The accelerate PANQL mod was already set to on prior to attempting the pirate questline. With that said, I was unsuccessful in conquering Marigot when I tried after completing the English quests, but prior to starting the pirate quest. It is worth noting however that England and the Dutch were at peace when I attempted this.
You’re right about the replayability of the game! I have had a few ideas that would be fun for a playthrough, chiefly a game where I start as a pirate and never remove the black flag. I think it would be fun to see how far I can get.
Thanks for the explanation. I just emailed the save file to you. Having a ton of fun so far, by the way! The game has improved a ton since I last played. No more random crashes! Woo!
