I've been wondering where that Northern Saint was...

I have been conquering most of the caribbeans for myself, but them spanish and english keep taking my colonies back <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

Does building a fort really help protect your colony's?

I looked at the source code and it seems forts help a little (they increase the time the colony can sustain the attack), but assigning an officer with high rank and high leadership, cannons, accuracy and fencing helps more.

BTW, if the officer has high trade the colony will have a higher gold income.

What the hell do you call a "main quest"? This utopia Marx - Engels - Lenin - Stalin - Beria - Pirate King bullshit is a quest? It's a laugh, not a quest! Besides the dirty bitch in the caves deserves to die without mercy. She attacks me without talking and asking anything. And after that you say "Yeah, we will unite the pirates and will make a communist state with them!" WITH THE PIRATES? You defenitely need to be a russion to invent something as stupid as this. Looks like they still didn't give up their dreams to make from all of us a North Corean state.

You trying to be funny, or somethin? Tough guy?

What kind of name is "Handel" anyway. In german that means "Trade". You have the originality of a parrot. You out of everyone have no right to go mouning about any plot at all.

Do you see your countries flag anywhere in the caribbeans? NO. So why don't you pack up and go back to wherever the hell you come from and leave the RUSSIAN FEDERATION alone. Ya hear me? Fe-De-Ra-Tion.

Go Consult your Wikipedia about a FEDERATION.

ROFL
Damn that was funny, I did not see it coming <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
 
Muahahahaha... "Russian Federation"... They still keep their Soviet Union hymn which starts with the words "Union undestructable..." We saw how much "undestructable" it was once the tanks remained in the barracks. But they still dream of their "undestructable federation", so they sell weapons and nukes to the Iran and likes, hoping Iran and such will fight the "world imperialism" for them and on nuclear wastes they will rebuild their "undestructable federation" again.
 
I don't think Russia finds anything "Indestructible" anymore.

Russia has mistaken themselves into perfection. Their improving. America however, is quite the opposite. Their devolving, becoming arrogant.

There are hundreds of books out there, showing how America is more Corporate-run then anything else. It's basicly "The best democracy money can buy". Americans really like to distract poeple from that fact by pointing to another direction screaming "Terrorists!" or "Communists!" as an easy way out.

I'm not saying one country is better then another. I'm saying that Russia isn't the *worst* anymore.

Russia left communism to the past, just like America left many many many little screw-ups to the past and is trying to hide the fact that their corporate-run.

Are you to blame for your countries mistakes? Is Akella to be blamed for their countries mistakes?

Most certainly not.

How about we all just play along nicely?
 
Infact, I'v become quite proud and fond of Russian pop culture and games.

Russia produces a wave of most beautiful and talented Tennis Players.

Russian music rocks aswell. Have you EVER heared Russian rap!?! It sounds AWESOME. Russian words are very tactful with strong intonations. Each word is like a beat, with a completely different curve, and yet cohesive. Sounds VERY nice. It "roles off the toungue". There is a song sung by T.a.T.u which also features rapping in the background.

Infact, I have 3 games which I love, which is made my a Russian company, one of them is Age of Pirates.

There's an incredibly popular franchise called "Night Watch" which is as popular in Russia as "LotR" or "Star Wars" is in America. In Russian it's called "Nochnoi Dozor". It became so popular, the game of which came to an international launch. I personally think the game sucks tho :p but then again games based on franchises always suck.

I think i'm going to visit Russia some day. Gives me a good excuse to wear my black lamb leather trenchcoat, with a gothic cut.

When I see Russia, and their new beautiful and colorful flag, I no longer think "Corrupt", "Communism" or "Military". Now I think: "A country which suffered greatly and endlessly, reaching the light at the end of the tunnel as has just emerged out of darkness, springing forth with unleashed enthusiasm and creativity"

Okay; Dig this.

Russians are amazing poeple, who've been under bondage for so long.

I found the cover girl of "Nochnoi Dozor" very poetic. She has a very distinct east-european look to her (like a Czech girl) almost like Natalie Portman but paler. Dark hair, Dark eyes, very slender build, big eyes. Her look is very casual.. No make up, no stylish Gel, no nothing. Just 100% natural and "herself". She wears a cheap white top/doublet which is kinda like a mid-drift wife-beater. You can clearly see she's not wearing a bra. She wears jeans, and a nice fashion- belt to go with it.

That style is totally casual, nothing special at all, and yet it's very sexy, in a tacky kind of way. Her un-gelled hair flows naturally and curls up slightly in the end, giving her this very feminine touch.

THAT, for me, is Russia, folks.
 
I don't have anything agains "russians" as a people, but I am very mad at Akella for the way they destroyed the sequel. Besides I have the russian version from the very beggining and I lost all the respect I had for Akella because of the way they treated thier own people as a third grade people.
This whole thing was just an angry rant. More angry because yesterday my recent game was suddenly ruined for me - ruined not because of technical bugs, but because of negligence of the devellopers (or call it program bug) - I suddenly become an owner of a man-o-war after I captured it when attacking a fort with less then 100 people crew on the board. What is the pleasure of playing the game if you always can with your luger capture the strongest ship in the game in the first half an hour playing? Just play stupid and pretend this doesn't exist?
 
anyway the game is great

and you cant say that russia is a very good country today for its people and all the corruption that is going on there today
but russa is still great contry

also the communism wasnt so bad for russia in 60-80

Playing it on medium - hard difficulty might make it funner for you?

Some poeple like feeling like their gods on easy mode. That happens to be fun for some poeple who want to feel as if they have a natural innate talent, you know?

Yes.... I agree with you that it's unfortunate that Akella treats this franchise with little respect. It is almost as if it's running on a low-budget. But considering that half my guild in WoW is totally addicted to AoP, living with it's bugs as it is, instead of playing WoW, really shows that this game has potential.

Don't worry, Handel. Once the patch comes out, you'll be a happy little butterfly like me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I play it on hardest difficulty, but due to the AI bug the AI fleet which attacks the AI forts rarely has more then 100 people crew, including the manowars and such. In the previous game such was the case with the patrol ships which pursued the smuglers. Now the sieges are ruined.
 
The challenge lies not in sieges, but in the ability to keep all your colonies under your respective flag.

You'll be greatful for having them men their ships poorly when you own more then 6 colonies at any one time...
 
when you want to have fun its better not to have many colonyies since if you have about 10 then all what you do is sailing from one colony to other defending them
 
Just thought about the fact the AI man-o-wars have only 8 pounds guns; so by fire power they are equal to a mere corvette with 24 pounders; not to mention the understaff problem

Seems logical - but there are several islands between both, thats' why I though it has to be St Maria Galante. O

The WoW players are about 7,000,000 people. Playlogic will be greatly surpised to learn they had sold 3,500,000 copies of AoP. Actually I am afraid they may get heart attacks while rejoicing <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
