I enabled the extra stormy start in the build file and man is it hard. can someone give me some tips on what and where i should go to get strted? I did have some guys cut down some wood for me and i took the monks cross that enhances my skills, nice job by the way making it so i can't save until i bring the cross back to his freind. Thanks.

i think it is. but i've played so many versions that i don't know either anymore.
 
i think it's fun too. problem is, i'm to good at getting out of a mess to make it last very long. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I had to restart a few times but this last time I thikn I'm in a good sopt. I happened to get shipwrecked on Redmond and made my way to Redmond, killing a few poepl along the way. I found my way into the dungeon and slowly started clearing it out and gained a few levels int he process. When i left the dungeon and went back in everyone repawned so i'm killing them all again. Looks like the chests are empty but oh well, the people in there have enough loot on them for me, i've already gained 7k in gold so far. Hopefully clearing out the dungeon doesn't break some quest though. Oh well at least i'm getting some xp and some levels down there. I like the extra stormy start, its a new challenge.

Yeah ..a pretty damn big one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />

EDIT: I can already imagine Blackrabbit running for is life towards his ship while he's being chased by bunch of soldiers and civilians and yelling like Cpt. Jack Sparrow in DMC while chased by human-eating tribe "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!!!". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
well, it's most certainly an original approach. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> no, kill those dudes in the dungeons as often as you like. in fact, you can exit and go straight back in again to kill them a second time.
 
A nice way of getting insane amounts of items and money: Kill a vendor in the streets! You get to loot their entire inventory. However, the repercussions are heavy. Prepare to be hated and attacked. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
basically like becoming a world-infamous pirate all at once which has a bounty on his head of 999999999999999999999999..... just to give you an idea of what's waiting for you. i had the idea of killing one of those guys for quite some time. glad i never tried. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
BTW: This mod IS in Build 13 and can be enabled with the EVIL_STORMY_START BuildSettings.h toggle.

The monk cross thing (double hit points) is in Build 13 Final. There are monks in Oxbay and QC that I know of, and may be one in Falise de Fleur and/or Grand Turks.

There is a setting in internalsettings.h that makes it so you can't save. If you set it to zero, you can get the cross and save, but that defeats the point. I don't know if the setting is retroactive - changing it once you have the cross may not make a difference, (it's not like you can save and test it out LOL)

Yes, the monks have been there since early post Build 12 at least.
I'm talking about the "Evil stormy start".
