Capturing Colonies ala AOP

C

Captain Hazard

Landlubber
So I spent the $9.88 and got a copy of AOP and wow... POTC wasn't even that bug ridden. The graphics are beautiful but that doesn't make up for the crashes that occur about every other boarding or 10 minutes, whichever comes first. From what I can tell, the modding and patching has pretty much died at Supermod 1.5, so it doesn't look like it's going to reach the greatness you all have made POTC into.

Anyways, the one thing I did like was being able to capture and actually keep the colonies, be it for a nation you work for or your own free nation. I seem to remember reading about that idea being thrown around for the POTC build mods and I was just wondering if that was still in the works or if it got abandoned? I haven't downloaded the Build 14 so I didn't know if this was in 14 if you are adding it or slated for a later build or what.

Thanks.
 
Pirate_KK is working on it. Also in Build some forts can be entered from the land side where you can fight hordes of enemies and can also encounter civlians who can give you various things. One civilian might even change the nation of the town for you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Sounds great, is it already in Build 14, or is he still testing it on his own?

Just throwing this out there, but have you thought about unlocking the attack ability in the governor's mansion to do assassination missions. Like say for an enemy nation who needs a governor rubbed out. I don't know what benifit that would have, maybe it could spark an invasion instance once you go back to your ship, kind of like the French invasion of Oxbay. Maybe even give you a big boost/reduction in nation relations.

I have no idea where to begin with that kind of script writing, but just thought I'd throw the idea out there and see if anyone would want to run with it. My contribution I'm working on is adding more character names, ship names, and ranks. AOP side tracked me a little, but I'm back to working on it again. Once I get everything input, I'll test them out with Build 13 and 14 to make sure they take.
 
POTC is oh so very secksy with the build mod. the game isn't playable without it. if only they'd make a game like this with this kind of detail.

despite all the extremily annoying bugs, the game is still emmensely enjoyable =D
