Build Estate ?

[paulsbro]

Guys - someone mentioned we can build an Estate and have our own home base ?
I think that was the crux of a reply in a previous thread of mine.

Well, I'd like to try it.
If I remember correctly, the person never did it because of the "time" it took(... could be wrong).

I'm not questing much = just picking sea battles ... up to $15,300,000
So, I'm guessing I have to $ .... hehe
Plus a home base from which to sail from seems cool.

(using Build 12.1)
1) Can I do it with this Build ?

2) How/Where do I it; if I can ?
Is there one specific island/spot etc...
I haven't seen mention of this = is it alot to do about nothing, or once established, a nice place to spend the night
I don't want to have to micromanage the estate, just somewhere to call home ... went from questing to sea battles and from Hero to Horror of High Seas(... executing captains) ... now only QC shipyard/store will deal with me = that's ok, I can visit that quaint meeting place on QC

Still can't pick fights at sea(...world map).
I see the grappling/crossed swords/ship icons upper left, but can't seem to use them ... experience is the best teacher = more practice
So, I wait till someone wants to engage me = even with Pirate sails, they want to fight
Have some big battles =yep, and some do-overs ... hehe
French - come in packs
English = like to have at least one Mow

Kind of fun just picking fights = reminds me of Sid Meiers Pirates!(...I picked on everyone)

So, I'm looking for a home from which to operate.
My own estate/port seems like a logical choice.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Guys !

The mod you are talking about is probably the BuildinSet mod made by CouchcaptainCharles. This mod is a part of the Pre Build 13 pack, but is not in Build 12.1. With this mod, you can build buildings wherever you like by talking to an officer. The buildings are instantly built. These buildings sometimes look odd and you can walk through them. That doesn't stop it from being a fun mod though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I just now made the move from November 22 ModPack to full up to date Build 13.

Now I'll have a lot of new features to catch up on including CCC's Buildings.

Pieter - ahh; ok.
Thanks Pieter.
I'll definately use it once Build 13 is final.
Odd buildings and walk through walls = ok with me

On a side note; nobody wants to fight but the Pirates(-119 ... hostile) ?
I fought 6hrs and sunk all these ships from Britian and France, yet my ratings are "0" and "-10".
I spent 2 hrs and not one of those nations would "engage".
I even tried sitting in traffic lanes = but I guess the game loads in battles/ships; you can't go looking or force a fight ... starting running low on food

I went to QC and talked to the head Pirate = now I'm -45(...wary) with both nations ... Pirates are now -30(...neutral) ... maybe I'll see some action

BUT i still should be fun to have your own plantation or mansion or jungle shack were you could devide the plunder or have some "fun" with your wife.
