    Discussion Some game play questions

    Also, I have a question regarding cannon caliber. Are 32lb cannon and 32lb carronade the same in terms of firepower? Or carronade of same caliber is always more powerful than cannon?

    Discussion Some game play questions

    I know the max stat you can have for each skill is 10. But would it be possible to bump the actual underlying stats beyond 10 using those skill enhancing items?

    Discussion Some game play questions

    1. So, btw, you can only obtain bombs from the stores at fort, right? 2. Some officer positions' contributing perks are overlapping: such as gunner has increased crew damage, but surgeon also has that skill. Do overlapping contributing skills double up the effect? For instance, if both gunner...

    Discussion Some game play questions

    1. Where can I find forts for some of the cities? Such as: Sao Jorge, Bonaire Martinique 2. One of my captains in the fleet has low gunnery skill. If I assign another officer with high gunnery to his ship, would gunner's skills contribute to that ship's performance?

    Worth it to switch to Maelstrom?

    I have been playing the standard NH (build 14). Just wonder if it is worth to switch to Maelstrom version or rather to stay with the standard version. 1. Did Maelstrom introduces any new storylines 2. Is playing mechanics any different between MNH and NH? 3. Graphically speaking, MNH is...

    Discussion Movie character bosses in the wild

    Blackbeard used to be my favorite prey and getting his sword is always fun. I just ran into another boss, Clint Eastwood and his brace of horse pistols. The fun part is that he somehow knocks out my party member without killing any of them and he keeps losing hp as if he is poisoned. Are...

    Unconfirmed Bug Ardent storyline: Santiago Port fort will attack you regardless of what flag you are flying

    But bandits are a cheaper way to get wood? Also, only spade and pickaxe have special uses besides serving as a weapon, right? I am just not sure which ones are not just pure weapons.

    Discussion How to use thief knife and Siheeto dagger

    1. What is the use of thief knife? I thought it allows you to get your stolen money back once you caught the thief. But it doesn't seem to be the case. Also, if a thief refuses to return stolen money, what can I do? I can't kill him on the spot, right? cuz that would arouse the entire town...

    Unconfirmed Bug Ardent storyline: Santiago Port fort will attack you regardless of what flag you are flying

    Oh, ok. I have 2 follow-up questions: 1. destroyed cannon cannot be self-repaired, right? You can only get replacement cannon from a shipyard, right? 2. some axes have description saying that you can use it to harvest planks in jungle. I tried it. It seems I can hack some trees with axes (it...

    Unconfirmed Bug Ardent storyline: Santiago Port fort will attack you regardless of what flag you are flying

    Interesting. So if I moored at any beach on Cuba and then go on shopping spree in BOTH Santiago and Havana, cargo would still get loaded regardless at which beach you landed at?

    Discussion Beaches and ports on Cuba

    On map of Cuba, Bahia de Moa is farthest beach from Santiago, but when you actually walk the jungle, it's the closest to Santiago. Punta de Maisi is very close to Santiago on map, but there is no way you can get to Santiago from that beach. It's only linked to Havana which is at the other end...

    Horrible bug annoyed me.

    Anyway to figure out which ship is the flagship? Maybe better to sink accompanying ships first.

    Unconfirmed Bug Ardent storyline: Santiago Port fort will attack you regardless of what flag you are flying

    Yeah, that's the weirdest part. Once it recognizes me the first time, it can "recognize" me every time I show up. Other ports don't have this kinda behavior. I don't recall having this issue in previous updates. Maybe something was accidentally turned off?

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 31st January 2025]

    If you are doing an update very two months, I can never finish my storyline. Just kidding. Btw, I am using the Apr update currently. Would it require a fresh install for this new update? Is it save compatible?
