    Need Help Is there a way to get rid of the random armed people?

    Well, thankfully I have both options possible, it seems. I tend to prefer the organic-looking motions from the stock game, over the sight of eight giant ships of the line turning around in one uniform motion, as if drones under the control of some sea god, in an attempt to kill my little brig.

    Discussion Several questions about the mod

    Just an update. So, it looks like I managed to find some cause as to the AI's "stupidity". I think one reason is on Arcade, ships turn way slower. This makes the AI's already questionable strategy of running around in circles even more detrimental. On Realistic, ships have inertia and turn...

    Need Help Is there a way to get rid of the random armed people?

    Will certainly try this out. So far I think there's been some change. It looks like fleets don't move in one motion anymore, which is what I was looking to achieve.

    Need Help Is there a way to get rid of the random armed people?

    Instead of making a new thread I figured I'd just post in here. So, is there any way I can disable the Screwface functions? I want to experiment with the behaviours of the original game. Would appreciate your insights.

    How to obtain the Bellete or the Man'O War?

    The manowar appears when you are asked to go to Khael Roa alongside 3 other enemy ships. It's the biggest and strongest of the 4. You need to board and capture it to use it. In the original game, you can only use it against the Black Pearl and then the game ends there, but I believe there's a...

    The Temple On Hispañola

    Interesting that there are multiple Indian sites. I think it would make sense if the other temples were smaller in scale.

    The Temple On Hispañola

    Does the temple have the same model as the one on Cozumel?

    Need Help Problems with boarding ships

    Certainly I believe the enemy has way too many people in most instances of boarding I've experienced in this mod. In fact, this - and the enemy troops seeming to have excessively high hitpoints - is what I believe could do some toning down in this mod. To prove this, I boarded a Tier 4 ship with...

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    You are right - I'm still winning now. Looks like I'm out of options. I think I'll have to uninstall the whole game first. The number of times I feel disappointed after trying and trying is just too much. Too bad though, I just really liked the ships.

    Will check this out.

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    The way the ships just circle around you when fighting instead of focusing on the broadside. That is literally all they do. I could actually just sit there and do nothing, in a stationary position, and probably even win because they keep exposing their bow/sterns during the circle runs. Come to...

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    As I understand it, no changes were made to the ship behaviour in New Horizons from the stock game, right? If you're interested, have a look at this. This is the Constitution vs. Victory battle everyone dreams about. Oh boy. Did Lord Nelson take a nap? This is after putting the Constitution...

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    Thanks for your quick response. Looks like this isn't an option for me. I wouldn't want to pay for another game that uses one released by Bethesda anyway. In any case, is this it - no way to modify the existing AI?

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    How do I get this Maelstrom version? My graphics card is rather inferior. Is it demanding? Actually, if the Maelstrom version has better AI, perhaps I'd just get that part of it, and replace my AI. If possible anyway. EDIT: Looks like I have to buy the Maelstrom game. Why must I buy it though...

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    This will be the last time I'll make a thread in this forum for some time (maybe a week or so) since I've apparently been the only one spamming it recently... So far, sea battles have been incredibly disappointing. I am using the Constitution and am DOMINATING an HMS Victory. We start off a...

    Need Help Black Pearl no smoke and no skeletons?

    Hmm... Since we are at it, it looks like the only way to do this would simply be to create a quest. As Grey Roger mentioned, it should be simpler to do this if I want a customised sea battle. The problem is, I don't know how. But I guess it should be doable? I've been dreaming of a battle...

    Unconfirmed Bug Annoying mast glitch

    Not sure if anyone has experienced this before, but this really frequently happens when a ship gets demasted, and it's worst I think when using the Constitution frigate. Whenever this happens, I notice that when I change my flag in Relations, the game crashes and says "abnormal program...

    Need Help Black Pearl no smoke and no skeletons?

    When I assign my officer the Dutchman and I the Dauntless/Victory, I'm unable to fight him (after hoisting another flag and thanks to the advice about making companions irritable), because immediately he turns and runs. For example, I intend to roleplay as Nelson against Davy Jones. We know...

    Mod Release Flying Dutchman and cabin from TEHO

    The cursed flying dutchman we currently have. It's so ghastly looking and the films never really show how massive of a ship it actually is (being, after all, based on "Vasa"). I dream of the day this becomes realised...I really love how so many historical and movie ships have been incorporated...

    Need Help Black Pearl no smoke and no skeletons?

    Thanks, I got it worked out as per Grey Roger! Now the thing I am looking to fix, is how to force ships to fight me without running away. The reason is I make duels of ships and want to see the fight to the end. I know it must be in Sea AI somewhere but I have zero knowledge of coding... I...
