Hello Jackson,

Thanks for the interest. You are certainly a rare bird to comment on my historical research endeavors. Few seem to be interested sadly. Until I am actually published myself, (beyond magazine articles, military journals and academic conference competition papers) I am right there with you as an amateur historian. Hopefully…[Read more]

Well I guess I can’t say I am too surprised especially after hearing about the private message play by play – which I am certain I only know half of the whole story.

It’s interesting that Mr. Boelen would take the stance he has, but in my mind he has kind of been backed into a corner.
He is a victim of himself – his own personality. You told me…[Read more]

Darkhymn, First of all WELCOME DUDE! Long time since the original GOF team was doing great things under Firebat! I am glad to have you here.

Second, I saw your comments on the balance of GOF and can tell you that ERAS has been tuned much differently from ole Luke159’s settings with 1.2 and 2.0 – however, I would still be interested in your…[Read more]

Well skin number 1 for the last ship in the update is finished. The others will be done tonight or tomorrow.

Really proud of this one. The only thing she seems to be missing is a taffrail flag pole. Perhaps Orazio will attach one for me? I am getting pumped about this after so much personal tragedy. I am starting to feel motivated and forgetting…[Read more]

Gustav,

Not every mast in the game has flag locators. So some ships will not have a flag or pennant on every mast. Surrender in the game is represented by NO FLAG. In other words a surrendering ship will STRIKE their flags. I am guessing you are playing a French character because one of the historical flags of the French Navy is the Sun King’s…[Read more]

So I am in the process of updating the site stories, content, etc… and decided it was time to show a teaser of my nearly completed skins and texture work for the last ship Orazio got to me that will be in the next update.

In addition, there are some others from my testing play and a bunch of my new favorite ship in the game, Orazio’s beautiful…[Read more]

So based on Stephane’s desires for more immersion with regards to character development in player alignment, Jeffrey has posed that it is possible to effect encountered characters with an already determined “good or bad” status based on random factors or historical knowledge of their acts and personalities.

So after a long discussion with…[Read more]

Stephane the Brig Queen will not appear if your ship isn’t small enough. Usually it must be a small lugger or other class 6 or 7 ship for her to appear. This makes it a hard fight for sure!

Make sure you save to a slot before you venture out for her from Cumana or other town you bought your small ship from. When you get out of view of the harbor…[Read more]

Stephane, Unfortunately there are TWO Shores of Mosquito.

I know that’s confusing and I’ve thought for years that this was just shoddy work on the part of the Dev team.

You need to sail north of Santa Catalina and Cape Perlas to find the Shore of Mosquitos with the treasure you are looking for.

Thanks so much to J, Fruitn and others for the kind words of praise. So sorry I haven’t been around much but between family crisis and getting the next version of the mod out and site updated, I have been very busy.

Stephane and Mot, Thanks for the input.

I have been planning a rework of Blackbeard, but not major. I was just going to color his…[Read more]

THIS IS AWESOME! Thank you so much again Orazio. I am doing some great stuff with this one and she will be ready for the new patch soon. In the patch Jeffrey gave me to test, I just ran into the new boarding scene last night and I WAS TOTALLY PUMPED!!!! IT WAS SOOOO COOL!

MK

Thanks for the complements. If your character started with the letter of marque already in his equipment, then he MUST go to items and EQUIP it in order for it to work. I have stated this in the READ ME file for the mod.

Once equipped, then you can begin the national quest-line for your faction by going to the Colonial governor for the entire…[Read more]

So I have been very busy with family issues, personal issues, property issues, etc. However I have still been working away at writing new stories for the site, working on a lot of new mod content and testing the heck out of the latest stuff Jeffrey and Orazio have provided. I have meant to pick up the dialogue on this topic again.

Despite my busy…[Read more]
