After you meet with the smugglers and get attacked by the patrol,if you only board the ships and not fire at them you lose no relations with the affected nation

The “Marine Francaise Xebec” ship model is glitchy, it has no bottom

yep I play with realistic weights and costs

I challanged a french captain to a ship duel,he had a big 3rd rater ship

The poor soul had no ammo and thus did not fire a single time
He had like 300 gunpowder and 0 cannonballs
His ship was full, had all kinds of cargo and 50 small caliber guns for some reason
Is it possible to set a minimum ammunition to captains,maybe based on ship…[Read more]

The “captive groom of san juan” quest is bugged

I need to rescue a captain, when I kill the enemy captain I immediately get the loot screen and the prisoner appears but cant interact with him ,when I finish with the boarding ,the quest is failed saying I killed the captain whithout speaking with him – but that is a revenge quest no?

The save…[Read more]

English 38 gun 5th rater is a class 5 ship despite it having 13k health and 24 pounders
Might be unintentional? I think its op for that class

occasional surrender is rather easy I had a 600 crew galleon surrender itself to my puny corvette on admiral difficulty with 6 authority
I play mostly on surrender to overwhelming force its more balanced and they still surrender alot

Another thing,

Cannonball is really useless when there is hot-shot
The main pro for cannonball is that its cheap but all ammunition is inexpensive
For mid-endgame you want the highest damage possible for your warships cannonball is out of the question
In the beginning you really dont want to waste your gunpowder and potentially cannons for some…[Read more]

Also I think the cheap cargo like clothes,paprika,fruits etc should weigh less like 2-3 units and maybe make it cost a tiny bit more to make it worth trading
Right now the only goods worth trading with are the bottom ones like tool,dye,ebony etc these are the ones worth trading only
You cant really make a living out of the standard goods making…[Read more]

Is it possbile to make the ships of the hero captains spawn rather far from the fort when you meet with them, for example near a shore?

I have a suggestion for next update

Can we tone down the rate at which valuable items appear?
These are too frequent, makes it really easy to become rich
I just made a level 1 character, very fresh start with 5 luck no enhancements from items
I play as a dutchman so I attacked a little english convoy, 2 schooners
The captain had 3!!! gold cash in…[Read more]

I just played with the new update

The Sail directions command works great, makes fleet management much better

Thank you very much

As far as I know ,when the friendly ship defends it will fight with the enemy whilst trying to keep up, it will manuaver so its broadside can fire and it will slow the ship down significantly
Lets say I have a cheap flut carrying cargo with just enough crew I want it to sail in the correct direction and I can show it while I shoot the enemys…[Read more]

Hi all,

did anyone do a playthrough using only direct sail and no worldmap,sail to
How viable and fun is it whats the best options for it (arcade/tactical sailing,realistic weather on/off)
Do I get enough events like encounters and storms etc

Also Jeffrey could it be possible to give commands for friendly ships to follow not just defend and how…[Read more]

Alright when you open the toml file you see a bunch of paths just like shortcuts you only need to edit 2 line and that is under “Config Eras 2”
Config ERAS2 is at the bottom

I show you my path as an example:
[[actions]]
name = “Config ERAS 2”
path = “DirectX9_64bitConfig.exe”
args =…[Read more]

Alright I think I got the updates working, I had to Install the historical eras module through Itch not just the engine

Sorry for the stupid question

You can edit the toml files via the windows notepad if that is the problem

And dont forget to edit the shortcuts “start in” path so that it points to the gentlemen of fortune module folder(the main game files)

Its all in the pdf im just parroting what it says

There should be a Maelstromsetup.pdf in your maelstrom engine directory which explains it very well
You should stick with the folder names found in the pdf pictures for simplicity
In short there are multiple shortcuts in the engine directory (these are the ones the Itch app uses)
Find the ERAS shortcut and eras config example and edit it to point…[Read more]

Hi,

The itch app does not seem to update the main game files even when i choose which version to install
Do i need to do a specific thing for it to work? I can launch the game through the app
