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]

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]
