Fort raids - on foot and via boarding

i was digging around the script files for b14alpha6 and found the following code in the file Enc_fort_dialog.c:

case "arms":
LAi_group_SetRelation( LAI_GROUP_GUARDS, LAI_GROUP_PLAYER, LAI_GROUP_ENEMY);
// ccc special weapons, SW assembly kit must be installed !
TakenItems(Pchar, "pistolbbuss", rand(2));
TakenItems(Pchar, "bladeX1", rand(1));
TakenItems(Pchar, "bladeX2", rand(1));
TakenItems(Pchar, "bladeX3", rand(1));
TakenItems(Pchar, "pistolpdart", rand(3));
TakenItems(Pchar, "pistolgrenade", rand(3));
TakenItems(Pchar, "pistolgas", rand(3));
TakenItems(Pchar, "pistolrock", rand(3));
TakenItems(Pchar, "pistolstink", rand(3));
LAi_SetActorType(NPchar);
LAi_ActorRunToLocation(NPchar, "reload", LAi_FindRandomLocator("reload"), "none", "", "", "", 25.0);
DialogExit();
NextDiag.CurrentNode = NextDiag.TempNode;
break;

in other words - when you come across the armory when raiding a fort, you have a random chance of getting a special weapon, right?
well so far the only thing i got after raiding a fort (by boarding it from sea) was a s*.*load of money and some goods.
now my question is - where do i go looking for the special weapons inside the fort? do i have to attack the fort on foot? i tried it once, but found no special locations inside, only some civilians whom i could rob.
 
You definitly need to do it on foot. There IS an armory in there where you can find those special weapons. You can also get some bombs for your ship there.

are you sure it's in every fort though? the only 'special' room that i managed to find looked like the inside of a shop, with swords and pistols on the walls and cannons on the floor, but after i killed all the guards inside i could only search their corpses and some of the shelves for some ordinary weapons and potions. there were no bombs or special weapons.
 
The location you need IS the shop. But you need to find a civilian there. But they're random, so you need to go in and out until you find one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

alright. and where do i look for the civilian responsible for the fort surrendering/changing nationality?
 
Hey! I had posted a reply here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

You can find him anywhere else in the fort, but they're all completely random, so it might be a while until you find one.
 
But you have to attack the fort from land, which can only be done in a select few towns, being Oxbay, Greenford and some of the new islands. And you need to find a random civilian who you can convince to surrender the town.

In Build 14 we'll have the Capture Colonies mod that allows you to capture any town and give it to any nation or take it for yourself. This mod has been finished for the most part; just needs to be perfected still.
 
Just walk there; some towns have land-accessible forts. Try Oxbay, for example.
