Peter Blood
Privateer
I know it is rather early to begin thinking of a build 15, but just to be prepared; I came up with an idea that could potentially be incorporated into a future mod.
There are different eras which decide which islands are colonized, what they are called, who they are owned by, and what nations are at war with each other. These eras are “Imperial Powers†(1520-1612), “The Buccaneer Heroes†(1613-1685), “The Golden Age†(1686-1760), and “Emperors and Revolutions†(1761-1830)
I will list the islands that should be included later.
So basically, my idea was very similar, yet very different from build 14, some of the same quests, some of the same characters, ECT. My ideas for new storylines would be based around these twelve characters.....
These are their default settings
