I feel like the dog who has been experimented on his whole life in a cage and suddenly is let out in the grass – and his reaction with his first experience of what grass feels like on his feet.

I could write a long diatribe of how I feel and what I’ve thought about doing and why things are where they are, but I don’t really think at this point anyone cares or would read it anyway.

Yeah Jeffrey is sitting on a bunch of content I gave him a year ago -…[Read more]

I did a massive overhaul of the weather in ERAS2. This is why you see much lighter CORRECT tropical colors – much less fog – much less rain – way different skies – many more wave types – and much more translucent see-through water in…[Read more]

To answer you questions. 1) NO – PANQL is not currently active in your version of the game. HOWEVER, its funny that you mention this because Jeffrey and I have been in the process of finishing it to work for the last couple of…[Read more]

Haven’t you seen the many screenshots I’ve posted showing me fight the Spanish treasure fleets. Frankly that is one of my favorite missions and in ERAS2 Jeffrey and I made it so it is possible to face up to 50 ships in the treasure fleet.

There’s even a button on the dev console that…[Read more]

I have a…[Read more]

I don’t change the meshes. I just reuse all of the hundreds of existing models and sometimes might change their heads out for one with a hat or no…[Read more]

I loved that ship when I watched the series. I would love to have that model in the game. However, do you have a copy of the model and permission to use it? That’s the question. I can make an inquiry as well. I have several…[Read more]

Second, you can still capture cities once you get to the place in the Morgan questline where he tells you to go do your own thing for a while which allows you to do a Nation questline. Once the nation questline is complete you can capture cities anyway.

Third, its very forgiving. Jeffrey and I did…[Read more]

Welcome Korinthian and I am glad you are enjoying the experience.

So some things to consider. I have carefully looked at the trajectories for years and the simulation is accurately depicting them. The windage tollerances (blow-by of propellant) of that era meant that the flat…[Read more]

It appears the emblems on the sails available from the special shipyards is not working right again. Will have to talk to Jeffrey about that. Was that what you selected for your brig or were you…[Read more]

2. The image toggle isn’t working. Just put the URL without pushing the IMG tab. They will show up. I un-hid your reply…[Read more]

Just lately we seem to be getting…[Read more]

Let me also just say that there are known historical examples of both pirate rivalries that turned violent as well as pirates that deliberately attacked and and killed other…[Read more]

I wonder however, if we could develop another mod option toggle called single encounters that would cause the randomizer that chooses ships for…[Read more]

Interesting. You’re treading on new ground as far as my experience goes. As long as I’ve played this game, the replayabilty factor is so extremely high that I have done a bunch of things this year I had never done before. I have still never played the Spanish quest line and have a character all ready to do so now. I plan to video my…[Read more]

Once you have a decent reputation and have a…[Read more]

Still I have been keeping very busy to keep my mind occupied. I have been spending a lot of time with my other dogs taking them for walks and playing with them, etc. I am a dog person…[Read more]

Thanks to Orazio for these great new…[Read more]

As the label “Historic” implies, they will be actual real battles that occured we are recreating. So when you open the DLC it will show you a menu of four battles. (Each DLC has four for $7 dollars) Then you can click on each one and read a historical narrative about what happened at the battle.

Then you can choose the option to start…[Read more]

I agree about the consistency and you should understand that consistency is something that I have improved over time. Just look at speed and ship handling since 2013. Look at how much the scale has increased. Ships never had speeds below 10 in COAS and the old GOF mods. Now we have ships as slow as 6. I plan on scaling that down…[Read more]

I did really like the first one even though it was set in the completely wrong time – 1750. They have continued to attempt to bring out the old piratey stuff to include ship designs from the 17th century and mix them with the Nelsonian era…[Read more]

I just wanna mention a few things.

1st: We are all really busy. Jeffrey continues to AMAZE me! He had 104 items on our priority list a couple months back and he has it down to around 80 now.

…and we keep adding things to it. A conversation on Discord the other day…[Read more]
