Hello all,
I'm currently playing POTC Build 14 Beta 3.1, Tales of a Sea Hawk. I ramble, so I've bolded my questions for a quicker read if you are so inclined. So, I just now started playing with the Choose Sails feature and had a question. First, though, just know that I'm sailing a Jackass Bark and English Bark (in case that makes any difference). Also, at the customization screen when starting a new game, I changed my personal flag to the one with the lion and a white background. I changed my nation to England.
Anyway, I noticed that selecting a nation's flag allowed me to display that nation's emblem on my sails. Cool. However, when choosing my personal flag, the "national emblem" that appears is a beige-ish and gray skull and cap with two brown guns in the crossbones pattern. I noticed this to be the case even after changing my personal flag a couple times. I assume this is just how it is, with one stock personal emblem.
However, is there any way to change this so that my sails can represent my true personal flag with the lion? This is obviously not some game-breaking issue, and it's no big deal if I can't, but I'm a sucker for customization, which so far this game's been pretty generous with, except in this case. If it involves coding, please explain in detail since I have very little experience with such things.
Also, another question while I'm at it. Since I chose my nation flag at the beginning to be England, will this be an issue when capturing a colony in that I will only be able to capture it for England, or will I still have the option of capturing the colony for myself under my personal flag? I do understand that I cannot capture certain colonies due to the main quest and that there are plenty of others to capture. As I'm only sailing relatively weak ships, I have not yet had the opportunity to test capturing a colony, especially after mistakenly hoisting the wrong flag at Bridgetown. Yikes!
Thanks in advance for your help!
