    The joys of serving as an Officer of the Navy

    Hello, Been meaning to try out the Navy Officer for some time now. Played through the Hornblower storyline - very nice, by the way! Loved how Sharpe and co. guest starred throughout the campaign. Now that the story is over, goody-two-shoes Horatio is running around the Caribbean, helping the...

    Need some help on the "Payroll ship" quest in Ardent storyline

    From the gameplay perspective, I think the fort is the only thing that keeps this quest interesting. It takes the usual cat-and-mouse gameplay away from you. You have very little time to wear down the enemy, then you have to board. Without the fort, the mission would be trivial. On the other...

    Need some help on the "Payroll ship" quest in Ardent storyline

    Well, well. I just checked the code, and I don't claim to understand much of this stuff, but it seems that the timer actually starts as soon as you pick up the letter from the prison commandant's corpse. Can't be sure, though. In that case, yeah, you're right and doomed. The code suggests that...

    Need some help on the "Payroll ship" quest in Ardent storyline

    Even that first broadside will help a lot, although I was able to get a second one in as well, and kept Siroco between myself and the fort. It didn't shield me from the fort's attacks, but it did cause some splash damage, I think. It takes a bit reckless rushing, since you'll be abandoning your...

    Need some help on the "Payroll ship" quest in Ardent storyline

    The quest becomes a timed mission once you talk to the officer at the tavern, so you may have to go way back if you opt to grind. What really helps, though, is grapes. Grapes of wrath. I usually don't care about utilities and gimmicks in games like this, since they aren't really worth bothering...

    WIP Spanish translation

    It's "Casse-Bois," so perhaps something like "Woodbreak Cove" would be more appropriate?

    Fix in Progress Gambler stuck in "A girl won in a card game"

    This happened to me a couple of days ago as well. I was planning to make a post and suggest storing the starting location of the gambler and moving him there after he's dead and you leave the tavern (since he'll most likely respawn under a different name), if possible, but making him...

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    Yeah, I noticed you could be mean to people as a heroic Ardent or vice versa; apparently they're generic features that apply to any storyline. Doing that wouldn't look terribly in-character, though. Like, it doesn't make much sense playing a naval officer and then ransoming Sabine to her mother...

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    Thanks, that fixed it. Didn't even know that offering to take him to Tortuga was an option. It never came up. Ardent offered him a position on the ship during the negotiation, and he accepted. He's been sticking around ever since. Yeah, I chose Ardent to be black-hearted at the start. He's...

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    Yeah, running around is a pain, so I use fast travel a lot. Fast travel takes about 40 minutes even if the door you're going through is right in front of your face. I may have taken a detour; a lot of sidequests lead you to Puerto Rico, you see. Edit to add: Seems I'm stuck with Jaime. End of...

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    So the poor simpleton was sleeping! Thanks once more, @Grey Roger. Worked perfectly. Now I guess I'll have to switch him back to the day/night cycle so he won't have to stand around with the night watch at 2am. Until your patch comes along, that is.

    Promotion awards

    I like holding on to unique swords. Lucia has been wielding the Moorish saber since when I received it, dropping French soldiers like flies at boardings. Keeping the other one you mentioned, too, though I have a second copy which I don't remember where I got from. Well, the Governor and I may...

    Promotion awards

    Aha! I got that one when the governor tried to foist his daughter on me. Thought it was a quest reward. Thanks; this clears that up. Boy, that governor sure wants to marry his daughter off. No matter whom. Can hardly blame him, though; the girl is prone to running away with pirates and spending...

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    Happy to help, @Grey Roger. Thank you for looking into it. Speaking of "some other bugs," I'm supposed to meet the real Uasco in my cargo hold, but he's nowhere to be found, so Ardent is just standing there like an idiot with the controls disabled. Found a line in that quest reaction file...

    Promotion awards

    Is there a list of swords awarded as you rise through the ranks somewhere in the wiki? Or maybe a forum thread? My Ardent is a Spanish Hidalgo at the moment and I'd like to check if it's normal for him to have gotten no new swords so far. Or did I accidentally sell them? *Gasp!* Thanks.

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    August, 2nd, I think. That's what the first line of Build Info.txt says.

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    UPDATE: Against my better judgment, I decided to snoop around a little bit. Went into PROGRAM > Storyline > Ardent > quests and found a file named "quests_reaction.c" there. Knowing there was no turning back, I dove further down and found this bit: case "mona_attack_fort_battle_won"...

    Need Help Ardent - Stuck on Isla Mona

    Hello again! Been trying out the Ardent storyline lately. It's quite enjoyable, and I truly appreciate the effort put in it. It's been a blast so far. Halfway through, I got bored of my stern-but-compassionate Ardent and restarted. This time, Ardent is a complete monster, and it finally feels...

    Bug Mutiny problem

    Sorry for being late to thank you all. Was out of the city for a few days. Thanks for the useful advice and information. I'm guessing I won't get to keep my license for long, anyway. Planning to hoist the black flag as soon as I fire up the game.

    key NPCs missing

    While I'm everything a coder is not, I'd say that the best time to move him to the tavern would be the point you capture the pirate ship and collect the goods. Although, now I think of it, is he needed for any other quest?
