Personally I have zero idea how you can solve those things and even less idea about how mods are made XD.

Having said that, good luck with it!.

Haha I was just making a post about those things that I like/dislike about the game overall, to tell you the truth I played the vanilla version of AOP2:COAS for a long time and until this summer I just forgot it.

Then… discovered this mod and enjoyed it and made me think about those many things that I like about the game and dislike, just wanted a slow chat about what we all like that is already found in the game.

Personally I started playing games like these since patrician 3 and port royale 2, those two games had many things that I loved in games. In patrician 3, while it was more on the administrative side, I could do quite a few interesting things like having “pirate allies sending me money that they obtain”. In fact I would say that a pirate king isn’t someone that has the best ships but rather someone that people respect and if they see your flag they will leave.

In port royale 2 it was kind of the same but with a bigger focus on battles, you could capture cities for certain countries and the thing that I liked the most is that by defeating convoys you weakened a country, if you weaken it too much then you could do a conquer quest to make a nation stronger. That was fantastic.

Finally I found age of pirates 2: COAS, never got to see the first one, but in this one I felt it was less generic in the sense that I was a character, I could walk around the city or explore multiple things. It added many things that I truly wanted to a pirate game. Of course it has some bad points as you can easily see when you read my comment on some points of other “similar games”.

Kind of hoped to be able to buy a AOP 3, when I found SD: TEHO I thought I found it, but that wasn’t it. While not trying to do a bad review or anything like that I just think it is a mod rather than a new game and between ERAS and it… well there isn’t really a choice for me. Rather than an unique storyline for one character I would have liked if they focused more on options and what you can do. Perhaps expanding non ship options, adding criminality to cities, having bandit gangs perhaps?. Even a tiny thing like being able to get a spouse would be great (in fact even better if there are multiple options).

I have a lot of hopes and dreams that one day I can buy a true AOP3 but the hope part is quite low at the moment, still have dreams at least.

Thanks for solving those things. Just wanted to say that :).

First of all I don’t know if it’s a bug but the mod config doesn’t save, it always restores itself to the initial one the next time I start the game.

Now I think this is a bug one, weight and cost options of the mod it doesn’t matter if I have it on or off, it doesn’t have any effect on the game (gold will weight 8 be it at on or off for example).

Personally in the latest download I find it impossible to earn any money at all by being a pirate.

What gives the most money is taking items from the dead bodies, in which you can find even items that give 200k. However now even trying to steal gold gives very little money, mainly because the quantity is reduced by a lot (specially seeing that it needs 8 units of cargo per gold).

Basically I am now a pirate hunter rather than a pirate, much more profit I must say.

P.D: I think this happens because even if I deactivate GOF weight and prices it doesn’t affect the game at all. Even if I have that mod option activated or deactivated the weight of gold is 8 cargo units.

It’s a shame too that the mod doesn’t save my configuration.
