Turks to Nassau

[Pieter Boelen]

They're separate GMs for each island as opposed to one GM for the entire worldmap in PotC.

 

[Armada]

Well there you have it, then. That's plus one to our list of "things thought to be impossible but now found to be theoretically possible". If we had such a list. :nk

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Oh, I never thought it was impossible to add/edit the worldmap since the Russians have already done it. All I've ever thought is that WE don't know how to do it.

 

[Armada]

So I should amend it to: "Things we didn't know how to do but have now theoretically found a way to do."
Either way, it's a good sign for potential future work.

 

[Peter Blood]

By changing the name, it would also give the mod more publicity for the next beta. Picture this, in the commercial "Explore the new island of New Providence and the pirate haven Nassau!"

 

[Pieter Boelen]

The not-so-new island. Adding Eleuthera didn't do much either and that was a special US island.

 

[Peter Blood]

And the U.S. never actually had a presence on Eleuthera.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

If you've got a better idea for the US...?

 

[Peter Blood]

I do not. Unless if, in the last era only, Tortuga becomes "Dry Tortugas" and becomes an American fort.

 

[Captain Armstrong]

the little unsettled island off peurto rico could be one of the US virgin islands...except I'm pretty sure they were danish until the early 1900s.

 

[Peter Blood]

And Puerto Rico itself didn't become a U.S. colony until 1898, so that wouldn't work either.

 

[Triglav]

And if the whole map can in fact be edited...no way to add US's southern coast and Florida to the northern bit of the map?

 

[Peter Blood]

Or code in Key West via Mona method

 

[Pieter Boelen]

And when we add the US Virgin Islands, we also have to add a button to close all overboards within 4 nautical miles from the shore.

Oh wait...

 

[Peter Blood]

will there be a deadline for votes on this matter?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Not as far as I'm aware. If people really want it done, the deadline would be... just before somebody decides to do it?

 

[Peter Blood]

Motivated individuals is essentially the only true factor that matters these days in terms of the mod's actual development overall.

 

[Armada]

Aye, but what about said individuals' free time? I reckon that's a more important limiting factor than the motivation itself.
With exams under way in many places, it's a slow time of year for modding. By July things should start to pick up again.

 

[Peter Blood]

Indeed, as it is the last day of school for me today, and tomorrow, exams begin.

 

[Armada]

Good luck with your exams, then! Mine are fairly spread out, and I've already done three to date, with six remaining...
