So far it works well, thx sir Jeffrey! My boarding problems are fixed 😀

May I ask another question? (sorry I’m asking too many questions 🙁 )

In Bermuda’s shipyard we can upgrade ships, there we can change our sail color. There’s two option, the upper option it’s the sail color, but the lower option seems to be blank (I believe it’s used to be ship’s emblems) and nothing change on my ship’s sail. Or maybe it can only work with a certain ship (like the Spaniard’s red cross)?

I change into colored sail instead of white. But when I repair my sail in the shipyard, it reset into default white color. Do you know how to make it permanent?

follow up about “cannot board but can be boarded bug” the other day :

I’ve done MK’s suggestion the other day that if I level up more this bug will go away. But it seems didn’t work. I level up till level 25 but it seems the bug didn’t go away.

But I found some workaround. When I first enter naval battle, if I exchange cargo FIRST then go closer to enemy’s ship, I can board them just fine. But if I go closer to the enemy first, exchange my cargo with my other ship, then get closer to that enemy ship again, I can’t board BUT I still can board another enemy’s ship that I don’t get closer enough into boarding distance before.

And maybe I’ll report another bug. Some boarding location seems broken. I board this light dutch pinnace. When I’m on boarding scene, my character stuck. It can’t move. Some of my boarding party and enemy are also stuck. I try to load the quicksave again, sometimes I’m on the lower deck and can go through walls but can’t go to upper deck. It seems some of my enemy and my boarding party get stuck too in the upper deck.

I encounter boarding problem (maybe considered as bug), I can’t board enemy which have already struck their sail. I attack this English convoy, 3 merchant ship with 1 ship guarding them. I sunk the guard ship, one merchant surrender and offer me money but I reject, I board them instead and take their captain as captive. I chase the other two, I can’t even board them while chasing even until they surrendered and struck their sail. I load my save again and now I command my second ship to board them but it just standing beside the enemy ship and nothing happened. When the enemy struck their sail I can’t to anything, can’t command another ship to board them. I can’t even go to the world map unless I sail far away from them. I still can attack them with first person mode though

I’m playing with ERAcomplete (from mega folder) + extracted patch 1.5.7 from MK. Maybe I miss some patch to install ?

Edit : my main ship is dutch frigate, my second ship is holland frigate. My enemy is using smaller ship, merchant lugger and fast schooner. The one I succsessfully board are ketch. I forgot the guard ship since I sunk her at the very beginning. In the mod option I set the surrender ocasionally.

I thought since English become lingua franca, the history from non english historian become less dominant.

The dutch does colonial activity back in the day, slavery is one of them. We called it Rodi (Dutch forced labor). Not only in Indonesia, but many people from the island of java also sold into slavery and taken to the surinam, that’s way some surinam still speaks javanese until today. This is short wikipedia link about Javanese suriname. Story like this became main propaganda for the nationalist movement, it’s the main reason that unite indonesia archipelago into independence in one country. In the town of Batavia there’s a mixed raced between the native indonesian, chinese, and arabian called Betawi (indonesian tongue for Batavia). In their traditional performance art, the VOC often became the antagonist called kompeni (english : company) that refer to VOC. So Indonesian are anti colonialist as in the opening of our proclamation of independence. But sometimes it’s blurry between the VOC and dutch colonial goverment. Sadly our people nowadays became less care about our history.

Indonesian do not hate the dutch. On the other hand, many dutch come to teach indonesian about politics and protestanism (I personally born protestant). The dutch political figure like Douwes Dekker along with another indonesian activist dr. Tjipto Mangunkusumo (doctor and political activist) and Ki Hajar Dewantara (teacher and political activist) form the first political party in indonesia called Indische Partij that spread the idea about indonesia independent.

If you want to visit Jakarta, I’d gladly become your tour guide. We have Museum Bahari (bahari means maritime) in batavia, and many dutch building still used until this day in kota tua (old town). If the cuban has their cigar, we have our cigarette called kretek (if you’re a smoker). And we also have our coffee called kopi tubruk.

The references about VOC is the main interest to me in this game. I live in Indonesia which is an archipelago. VOC may not as big as spaniard or british in caribbean, but they gain monopoly of spice here in Indonesia archipelago. And maybe that’s why Indonesia gain independence as a country in the whole archipelago (over 17,000 island). They succesfully get rid of british and portuguese. One of their ship even named Batavia, I was born in Batavia (now called Jakarta). Many Dutch architecture are still treated well and considered as national heritage.

There’s many connection between caribbea and indonesia in the age of sail. This ERA mod makes me learn more and more about world history. And thx again sir and bucaneer’s reef team. I’m looking foward more about the dutch references if you don’t mind 😀

Anyway is there any threat about musical references ?

There’s one of the world biggest flower endemic of Bengkulu (Bencoolen) called Rafflessia. The name is taken from British governor name of Bengkulu, Stamford Raffless. This species available at Bogor (Buitenzorg) Botanical Garden, one of the biggest in the world. Bogor is about 2 hours from Jakarta (due to the traffic jam). There’s dutch palace in Bogor that are used by the Dutch governor and later by the president of Indonesia. As far as I know it’s not open for public, but we can take photos from the outside. It’s worth the trip if you visit Batavia. If you already decide to come, I plan to bring a friend along to the trip, he’s young protestant pastor and his grandmother is dutch. He knows more about Batavia than myself.

February is the peak of rainy season. In Jakarta, we have heavy flood problem due to the bad city planning. Normally sunny season is in April – July, August or September will be an early rainy season which is good for traveling. Actually, sunny season isn’t a problem in Jakarta, heavy traffic is. So be ready to spend more time on the way.

As far as I know, The Dutch later succeeded to capture Gowa (now Makassar). There’s an interesting story. Prince Diponegoro a resistance leader from Java are captured by the Dutch and imprisoned by the Dutch government in Makassar. He never kneel to the dutch. The dutch build a low tunnel into his chamber so when Dutch call for him, he is forced to kneel. But Prince Diponegoro always get out from his chamber backward, refuse to kneel to the Dutch.

The Bugis (native of Makassar) are notable sailor and shipwright. There’s Bugis ship called Pinisi, influenced by the Dutch’s Pinnas.

In 1975 under the second president Soeharto, Indonesia tried to occupy East Timor. It’s one of the biggest crime against humanity that ever done by the Indonesian government. After the fall of Soeharto 32 years reign, in 1999 East Timor got their independence from Indonesia.

Many of Dutch are forced to sent back to Holland in 1950 because of West Papua conflict. The government even named the west Papua province Irian (Ikut Republik Indonesia, Anti Netherland / Join Indonesian Republics, Anti Netherland). The Papuan often held a protest against Indonesian government until today in Jakarta and they are supported and protected by Indonesian Human Right Activist. Until today the Indonesian government violated human rights in West Papua. Many of Papuan got arrested or killed.

Around September until January, there will be raining season here. I know how you feel sir. I have friends from Russia who don’t like go to Indonesia while in sunny season, it’s too hot for them. I think it’s the same with Americans. Sometimes I also can’t stand the heat. It’s too hot on sunny season and also the mosquitos. I’ll glad to be your guide, this year I’m focusing on my last assignment for college so I have much free time. And I can drive you around with my car. We can also go to Rangkasbitung, Banten province which are around two or three hours from Batavia, and they’re forts of the dutch that is still maintained by local government. Politically Indonesian hates colonialism but we don’t destroy Dutch buildings because they’re considered as national heritage. Many of the buildings are still operate like churches and post office.

Since the Japanese came to archipelago, the opinion of Indonesian are divided. Some of them support the Japanese because they’re like Asian big brother to Indonesian and Japan spread the anti west colonialist propaganda which gains much favor among Indonesian Nationalist. It’s called 3A Movement and led by Soekarno, founder of Indonesian Nationalist Party (later he become the first president of Indonesian Republic). The 3A Movement support the independence but under the Commonwealth of East Asia (I don’t know what it’s called in English) and Japan as its leader. The Japanese even form a political organization called BPUPKI (agency of effort to prepare indonesia’s independence) later it becomes PPKI (Preparation Committee of Indonesia’s Independence). This idea rejected by Communist and Socialist movement. They consider Japan as the new colonialist. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb are weakened Japanese forces so the Youth Movement takes advantage of this. They persuade the committee to proclaim the independent right away. So in 17 of August 1945 they proclaimed their independence from the Dutch. But the Dutch considered Indonesia’s independence in 1949.

As far as I know some of the Dutch fled to Australia while the Japanese invade Indonesia. VOC settles in Indonesia for around 1700, many of them marry locale native. Many of my friends have dutch descent. Manadonese which are from north Sulawesi island (west of Maluku) have dutch blood, some of them even look like dutch. Many of the Dutch descent still in Indonesia, but I never contacted them because they’re minor in Indonesia. In the colonial era, native are considered lower class and they often sold to the slavery. The mixed dutch are middle class and sometimes mistreated, that’s why many of them also have their part for Indonesia’s independence. Maybe that’s why Indonesian hate the colonist.

Most Dutch who came from catholic and protestant mission build schools (including my high school in Batavia) and hospitals. Indonesian don’t hate Dutch as in racistic terms but because of the class system that implemented by the colonial government. This class system actually existed in feudalism era long before the VOC. So it’s about all about class struggle.

Since the independent of Indonesia, The Dutch churches gave the churches to the protestant organization called GPIB (Protestant Church of West Indonesia). All the churches still operates until today. I’ll list the places that you visit Batavia and Banten
