here faqs translated to english:

Calm remained after the stern. Again the impulses of salt wind fill the proud of sail and mchat pirate ship along the azimuth of the most gripping adventures. Crowd holds by apples and by pancake coils to the refusal - actually prolonged floating in the spaces of Caribbean water area is in prospect. The command of "corsairs" on this occasion obtains influential completion! Add- It "Corsairs III: The trunk of corpse "will include the set of substantial changes and of fundamentally new elements, and also ten insignificant corrections. Basic efforts with the development were concentrated on making of an original game of of deeper. Therefore addition it will propose new topical lines, individual Quests and absolutely new hero with its own unique prehistory. The new system of hand-to-hand fighting will make possible to player differently to glance at the familiar "corsairs III" and to obtain from the game the unexpected impressions. But changeable weather finally will immerse into the pirate atmosphere of the become even more realistic game. According to preliminary calculations, to the total time of play process it will be added as the minimum of 20 additional it is hour. Moreover will grow considerably not only duration, but also quality of the original. To that enumerated above should be added ten new views and general cosmetic works, which decorated the exterior view of entire play peace. Key special features of the game: New hero is new character with the personal rule of Quests, in each of whom will be located the place for the treachery and the bloody battles. For the first time in the history of pirate games one of the main heroes becomes properly "poor" character - the final villain, in whom there is not one positive feature, except ingeniousness and elegant manners. New enemies famous scoundrels and the innumerable number of pirate rabble will stand on the way of hero to wealth and the glory. The treacherous stabs on the back and open duels wait it at every turn, because of what player not for the minute will leave the sensation of danger and present adventures. The new system of hand-to-hand fighting the absolutely new system of hand-to-hand fighting will make numerous battles much more complex and it is more interesting. Several unique stages of attack and defense were added, but tactics "prick- rebound" more is not panacea from all misfortunes. The changed system of perkov of characters will not make it possible to become simultaneously adroit fencer and well-aimed strelkom. For player it is necessary to previously plan the way of development and to select, it will makhat' by blade on the foremost, or, after granting this occupation to its officers, it will shoot enemies from the pistol. New offshoots in the subject of hero expect two secondary, but prolonged topical lines. In the time of his wanderings the player can fall to the center of bloody dismantlings on the pirate island, and also prove to be that mixed into the dark affairs of commercial companies. Independently of that, by whom will want to become player - merchant or by pirate, him await the saturated subject, dangerous adventures and generous reward. New Quests are added several individual side-line Quests, who make it possible to even more be penetrated by the atmosphere of game. Where not left hero, everywhere occur the newsbreaks, in which it can participate. Additions into the already existing subject the old good adventures Of bleyz and Beatrice were enriched by new Quests, who give the possibility to even more deeply be immersed into the history of the most charismatic pirates of Caribbean sea to player. The changing weather on the motion of land missions time no longer stops, it razmerenno flows everywhere, making the game even of of more realistic. Now players can admire Caribbean sunsets and dawns in the regime of real time. Weather also constantly changes: deceptive clean tropical sky they can into the schitannye minutes shut gale clouds. New views ten absolutely new corners of Caribbean archipelago, where the leg of hero yet did not step. Never still these views were this gripping spectacle.


ok, ok ....there are bad, really bad chances about an english-release... i think the game will be complete released in russian... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> - and where we will buy this game?? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

...so I see, the future brings many works for us moders.... we have to translate the game to english...

otherwise - NO ADD ON



saluteee

P L E A S E


thanks
 
Which raises the age old question: Why should we have to pay for an expansion pack to fix problems that should have been addressed in patches long ago? Then again, if it fixes the graphics stutter that plagues me 10 minutes into playing this game, then . . .

PLEASE ALEXUS B - MAKE A STATEMENT....

thanx
 
New UI... yay..... sounds to me their are taking SUPER MOD and calling it their own + making a new(and ugly) GUI.
 
No, if i looked at the screens, they take a lot of content out of POTC, and retexture it, i have seen a reskin of oxbay sewer, a reskin of the LIZA character, it is good that they will make it more challeging, but i think that the interface is BUT ugly, it is TOO modern. I hope we can mod it so, that the boarding will be the same as in POTC, that you must first go through 3 decks (i think that is the fun part of boarding)
 
I like a bit of what they are doing with the UI, but as Thomas has stated its ugly, too modern looking.

This add-on was actually mentioned by a Russian player over on the Playlogic forums. I hadn't really thought to announce it though, since it IS being released ONLY in Russia according to everything I've found out.

I made my feelings about how Akella is treating the fans in this situation VERY clear in my posting. If anyone would like, I can either repost the full text here, or just visit the Playlogic site and look for threads I've posted to in the last 2 or 3 days.

I'm NOT happy with Akella for this though, just shows they are more worried about saving face at home and screw the rest of the gamers in the world.

The GUI is ugly but I see how it can be functional. As for the whole Akella English, Russian relations issue, I have not played AOP in almost two months and unless they release something amazing in 1.43 to get me back into the game or announce an English expansion, I won't be playing anytime soon which is unfortunate, I liked playing but the lack of news of something that was promised over a month ago is demoralizing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
OfficerPuppy: Muldini, over on the Playlogic boards has actually been once again starting to regularly update us. Just yesterday in fact he was saying that the current version of the update looks to be pretty solid and they will hopefully be aiming to release at the end of the week or beginning of next week.

thank you for answering. grazie. But I you are also insolved in the development - so have you never thought about releasing the game for international market?(international I mean english)... ??

There are man fans here and waitin for a good AOP update/addon(without bugs) - and this addon is hard to get from russia.... AND we have to do translation ....
 
AlexusB: You can be certain that there are a LOT of English speaking players watching what is done very carefully. Your work, as well as Akella's add-on are being watched and a lot of people are desperate for a proper release on this game.

Current sentiments of international players is going to be a make or break kind of thing. Many of us just want to see this game be what it really could be.

Your mod seems to be our best bet at a good deal of what should have been included by Akella in the first place.

Just my view of it.

Thanks a ton for replying here, AlexusB!!

One of those screenshots has a guy on a roof? Umm. Surely there's a reason? Maybe they added a jump feature. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> If not, I found a bug and it hasn't even been released yet.

Overall, I don't think there are enough changes to warrant purchasing this addon, even if it were released to the west, but that's just my opinion. Just give me 1.43 so I can see if my graphics still stutter.
