    The Tale of Crossleg Luke (GoF Eras module 2)

    I had wondered about the language. I thought because of your background it might be some old Orkney or Isle of Man Gaelic dialect or some Kentucky/Tennessee Scotch/Irish hill dialect. True story on that: I bought a red Branko/Sock-it-to-me hunting beagle pup from some of those hill people...

    The Tale of Crossleg Luke (GoF Eras module 2)

    Very creative! Enjoyed the read very much! The game always inspires the same imagination in me. Having the way more nationally defined lines in my mod I think makes a difference in the immersion experience I think. This was evident to me from your narrative of the ships you encountered which was...

    Mod Release GOF Historical Eras Module #2

    This is odd to me. Obviously my game doesn't have this problem. You've found the solution already is in the RESOURCE/MODEL file. The interesting thing is that I tried to make the mod as small as I possibly could and cut out things that are no different from the original. I forgot that OP...

    Mod Release GOF Historical Eras Module #2

    Well I am still around for a few more hours. Hylie, the boarding issues are completely fixed in this version. However the store problem is another issue altogether. These two issues are unrelated. Can you please tell me which store in what town? MK

    Ker plunk, ready to Moore

    LOL!!!:onya That's what modding is all about. I love the reference. I see that you like REAL movies like me. You will be interested to know that even though GOF ERAs Mod3 is mostly made up of historical characters like MOD2, just as I made Bartholomew Redd(Walter Matthau) a character in mod2...

    The truth about the Perfect Pirate Ship: & what loot's in the Hold

    Good observation Pieter. I feel like I achieved the aim I was after with the article. Reason: I made the point debatable and debunked cliche and overgeneralized stereotyping of the subject. I gave the audience something else to consider and that's really all I wanted to do. :yes MK

    The truth about the Perfect Pirate Ship: & what loot's in the Hold

    The line between pirate and privateer has ALWAYS been very blurry - especially in the early years of the Golden Age. In the 1620s when Heyn was operating against the Dunkirkers and in 1628 when he seized the entire Spanish treasure fleet (the only time in history that ever happened BTW) do you...

    The truth about the Perfect Pirate Ship: & what loot's in the Hold

    The more I think about this, the more interesting questions come to mind. I actually wish I'd been a little more comprehensive in the article now. I didn't want to lose the audience though. So if all pirate ships were small according to registries from an undefined time, place and nationality...

    Mod Release GOF Historical Eras Module #2

    I would encourage you to make a new folder on your desktop. Call it "games" or whatever you want. The game doesn't work as good if you leave it in one of the Program partitions. MK

    The truth about the Perfect Pirate Ship: & what loot's in the Hold

    You know I think there may be a book here - a very well researched book different from any I've seen on the bargain bin shelf. I already have nearly a dozen books in the writing at various stages of completion - some I've been writing for years. Some are done but just need polishing and...

    Mod Release GOF Historical Eras Module #2

    Thanks for your comments Luke. I really appreciate it. Actually I ported the most new content in from SOFS which no one but Craiggo had done before - and he mostly snagged ships. I also grabbed a bunch of stuff from that new PO:TEHO game the Russians don't seem to want to release in English. New...

    The truth about the Perfect Pirate Ship: & what loot's in the Hold

    Funny! You're falling into the same tunnel-vision trap as so many others. What conclusions? What fictionalization? Please quantify your position. I simply asked the question "were most pirate ships small?" My conclusion was to debunk the belief that ALL pirate ships were small and took small...

    Mod Release GOF Historical Eras Module #2

    I don't have time or a good connection after tonight for a couple weeks to get this on ModDB or promote it. So whatever anyone wants to do about promoting it on the PA community page or ModDB is fine with me. Otherwise I will do it myself in a few weeks. MK

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    That's interesting because I'm using Luke's wind values so there should be no difference unless you changed the weather in mod options. Sail handling is no different either except that 2.0 has the later ships with better rigging, so that's probably why it seems that way. As far as sounds go...

    Mod Release GOF Historical Eras Module #2

    I sincerely appreciate the kind words and have received several really complimentary e-mails as well. Thank you Mates I actually have some time today and a good connection. So I will try to repackage everything and upload again. This way no one will need an update. I still haven't had a chance...

    The truth about the Perfect Pirate Ship: & what loot's in the Hold

    I agree partially with that, however some of these great acts were so amazingly audacious like De Graff going for the most fortified possible place in Spanish America that they can't help but be remembered. I equate that to a modern very organized leader of professional thieves openly attacking...
