    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    What u mean? The enlarged world map? I don't care too much if it is less logical or not. Aesthetically it is even more logical, since you actually have to cross open sea to get from island to island rather than having said islands popping in and out of sight in a row. This is easily the biggest...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    I tweaked around a bit with my settings and got rid of the glitchy look. Seems that mediocre color settings just don't cut it. I chose to play Iron man but without the enlarged world map. As sweet as it looks on first glance - it gives the player an unrealistic advantage as far as travel speed...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Ran the latest installer to update files. And still the shore lines look messy (in a new game). Maybe I should go for a complete reinstall, but I am afraid this issue might still stand. Ever since the last two updates direct sail feels and looks messed up in several ways.

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Hey guys, got a mixed bag of news. Let's get the bad stuff sorted out first. (Note that I have not installed the very last update yet). 1) Minor sound bugs. I noticed that sometimes a few sounds do not play. On very few occasions the wind turned, but the sound didn't play. Also in the taverns...

    Poll Your favorite era of play?

    Then it probably is because I am a trader now and slow as hell. More opportunities to spawn. Also I play a personal nation for the first time and have no bad blood with anybody. In other games I always would battle against anyone but my own fraction and have them probably running to the hills...

    Poll Your favorite era of play?

    True that. Is it just me or do the waters seem quite a bit more frequented in these eras than in the later ones?

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Encountered three more issues. 1) Inactive AI ships. When I sailed around Petit Tabac, there were several AI controlled ships, which did absoloutely nothing. They wouldn't even respond when a ship of a rival nation came by and fired at them. 2) Hire non-stop When I hired crewmembers in the Sao...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    I have made a screenshot of the ability selection of my first officer. Is it supposed to look like that? Methinks there are abilities showing up that have no place being there (I play the restricted abilities).

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    I am definitively curious how it plays out in the iron man direct sail experience. The thing with all the perks is - they give you such a profound advantage. Take alone the navigation related perks. If you or one of your officers have all of those, any opponent is easily outmaneuvered. Also the...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    The thing, which makes the fencing/melee hard in this game, is most due to the leveling opponents and how clunky everything is. If one makes the mistake of not pushing his melee skill early on, things will become a lot harder later on. Especially if the alternative level system is in effect (the...

    Poll Your favorite era of play?

    Out of the six eras available in Build: Early Explorers The Spanish Main Golden Age of Piracy Colonial Powers Revolutions Napoleonic ... which one is your favorite to play? Or if you don't want to be that specific ... do you prefer the early, middle or later time periods? I am not...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Hey guys, to implement the latest updates: Do I need to download the new wip installer and just reinstall the achieve with it? I think I am gonna give it a try. And maybe I even implement the resitricted abilities. I noticed that once one of the own officers has expert defence the ship turns...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Nah, like I said - Iron man Mode all the way. It happens here and there. One instance was for example when I reached a point, where I could land. As soon as the anchor symbol showed up the thumbnails of my two companion ships changed. But overall it seems pretty random. It definitely tends to...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Alright, I am playing and so far it's an overall enjoyable experience. However, many of the bugs, I encountered in the past, are still an issue. 1) Friendly Fire It still happens that my own ships fire away at each other/at me. One thing you need to look into is the flag set when loading a...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Not necessary. Reinstalling it indeed did the magic for me. All abilities are back as they should be, it seems. Also I can now donate money to the crew (wasn't possible yesterday). I' ll report any bugs that I will encounter. May it be that the changes in Iron Man Mode just applied when using...

    Included in Build Perks Mod V2.6 Unlockable Perks! (READABLE BOOKS!)

    Alright, I uninstalled the game (man, the folder was over 8GB^^). So, to reinstall it, I just need the moddb installer and the big achieve 7.zip from moddb (plus an installed stock game)? Is that so? Yeah, I indeed played iron man mode. I always do. So these skills do not exist at all in iron...

    Included in Build Perks Mod V2.6 Unlockable Perks! (READABLE BOOKS!)

    That's all? Well, that will spare me some time. So I don't need the updated installer from the first post? Just the two moddb files? If so that could 've caused my problem. For yesterday I used the "updated" installer from this post. I cannot imagine that this is a general bug since there would...

    Hey guys, after a little break from pirating I plan a return. Nice to see, what happened with Build in the mean time. Last time I was around you guys were working on WIP 16. So yesterday I installed the new package, consisting out of the new installer (from the opening post) and the 2,3 GB...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Loaded again my game with the disobeying Treasure Galleon. One thing I noticed when I swapped ships (to see if I can get it going) was, that the ship would only then show my flag, as soon as I took control and put out it's sails. There was NO FLAG WHATSOEVER before and my pirate flag would pop...
