    Discussion Some after-game thoughts/comments

    Ok, so far boarding has become dramatically easier after the Oiseau. I'm unsure as to the cause, it could be Nicolas Sharp's sword, but for whatever reason I no longer appear as the sole crewmember on the first deck, and my friends don't get butchered anymore (or if they do there are only a few...

    Discussion Some after-game thoughts/comments

    Thanks for the tips. I think I'll do my first boarding on the 'Oiseau' and see what happens. It should not be too hard if I have professional fencer, some armor, and a decent sword right? In the original game it was really easy to capture that ship. Problem is I can't find the book that...

    Discussion Any chance for "battle simulator"?

    One of the things i like about this mod are the ships. Is there any way i can customise a battle in sea? Like come up with a group of ships from a particular nation to duke it out with another in advance. For example, pitting the pearl against some warships.

    Discussion Some after-game thoughts/comments

    I get this now, thanks. However, I tried to do Free Play and on some occasions when I attempt a Save, the saved files are blank and I can't save it. When I reload the profile after exiting and restarting the game, it appeared as "Bad Save". What is going on here? (Also, deleting profiles seems...

    Thanks for the info, that clears stuff up (btw, how do you change the starting model?). Okay, I'm trying out the mod now. It is soooo hard! Apologies for this reaction, but is boarding unbalanced, or am I just that bad? Boarding was ludicrously hard. I have a decent sword, full crew with...

    Discussion Some after-game thoughts/comments

    So you can choose what model you start out with? Could I, for example, create a "beggar" character with the Wilfred model (from the stock game), give him 0 gold and no ships starting in the jungle? Also, I tried the Barbossa character and it began with Ragetti telling me about the cursed coins...

    Discussion Some after-game thoughts/comments

    I don't want to keep posting new threads but as a beginner who is just now trying it out, I have many questions regarding the mod. For example, what's the purpose of "Free Play"? Does each Free Play character get their own quest? And are you able to design your own character (model and all)...

    Need Help Is there a way to save during boarding?

    I was thinking about this since I sometimes need to repeat a battle many times to find out a "winning strategy" (if there is) and it would be much more convenient if I could skip right to the section where I need to. Would this be possible? Thanks.

    Need Help Questions about New Horizons

    Hi all, So I just recently installed New Horizons the latest version. So far, looks to be working fine. Three questions though: 1 - I use Intel graphics card so i installed the Intel fix. however, the water is still not pretty. I encountered this before with the stock game and used Dgvoodoo...

    Discussion Confused with the Rheims backstory

    I knew that it's supposed to be Sea Dogs 2, but what was the main quest originally supposed to be? Was the whole temple ordeal latched on after their Faustian pact with Disney? From my understanding, the pirates want the coins, because that's what'll allow them to die in peace, not the glowy...

    Discussion Confused with the Rheims backstory

    So, Nathaniel was mainly after the gold, and the artifact they find in the temple just happened to be the one Gordon discussed and it so happens that right after the temple scene, the Black Pearl attacks - giving the heroes the exact right time to use it. Then again, why does the Pearl even...

    Discussion Confused with the Rheims backstory

    He was, but afaik he was also pressed to find it after Gordon told him of the artifact's ability to sink the Pearl. There's also that line about buying land Danielle tells him after the Greenford battle with Tomlison (the pirate-killer Silehard briefly mentions in the beginning) to which...

    Discussion Confused with the Rheims backstory

    So the way I see it, Giraldo was Alistair's "bosun" (boatswain?) and was one of the pirates who boarded the Sirena which may have been Rheims' ship. Then he was the one to get the idol, then at some point later, Danielle killed him for it. I was about to mention the soldier's testimony because...

    Are the ship sizes accurate?

    So, It seems that the Manowar is indeed an absurdly large 300+ feet long according to Blender. Yet it has only 100 guns despite dwarfing the HMS Victory by a vast margin. Incidentally, the Pearl is also somewhat larger, being 186' to the film's 165... (The Manowar as compared to the HMS...

    Discussion Confused with the Rheims backstory

    As I had guessed. So she just killed him like that? For the idol? Sounds pretty nasty to me. Initially, I thought Brendan and Giraldo were the same person, because Brendan's dialog indicates him dying of "swamp fever" (malaria) and we know Giraldo was sick with Malaria according to Danielle's...

    A couple of questions about the stock game

    I'll reply to this with another question about the stock game instead of making a new thread about it. I had been doing a bit of surfing on real ships, and tried to find the real analogues to the better ships. Would this rough comparison be correct? Corvette - 6th rate ship of the line (32...

    ORIGINAL Akella Post-Ending Jack Sparrow Sidequest + Russian Patch Files

    Sorry if this is late, but this was really interesting. I'm too lazy to pore into the dialogue though...what's going on exactly? Is Depp talking to Nathaniel?

    Need Help any chance of not to pay the ransom in rescue lucas quest?

    Does the game world resemble the early 17th, or early 18th century more? Also, thanks for sharing that really interesting link! I guess that confirms that the game was intended as a prequel.

    Discussion Confused with the Rheims backstory

    I'm now trying to make some edits in the PotC wiki site regarding the game's lore, and I'm a little confused as to the hidden backstory of Rheims and his Khael Roa business. I understand a man named Brendan Applin was one of his crew and asked Danielle to escort him to Redmond to tell the...

    Need Help any chance of not to pay the ransom in rescue lucas quest?

    Which begs the question - how does the game fit into the PotC continuity? Or is it even linked in any way? Isn't it set over a century before the events of the first film?
