Quick fort blasting question...

Sailor Apprentice
Hey all; just stopping by to say hello. I spent a lot of time playing PotC during the version 10 release, greatly enjoying every minute of it. I eventually got burnt out and moved on to other games for a while, but now I'm yearning for the pirate's life again and am getting back into it. Thanks once again for all of the hard work you've all done on the mods, they really make the game worth playing. v12 looks great so far.

Anyway, before I get too far in my new game I have a question... When you capture a fort/town, I seem to recall it being empty from that point on. Does the fort/town eventually rebuild and come back to life after a set period of time, or it permanently out of commision once I sack it?

This will greatly affect my pirating strategy over the next few weeks.

Thanks, and happy sailing!
 
Yes <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> after you sack the town <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> , the people come back to town a while then you can sack again <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" />
 
Excellent; thanks for the info. I just didn't want to do any irreparable damage to the town; t'would make the game a bit short lived if there were no people in it... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
Hehehe <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> a lost city <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
All the more so considering there´s so few towns <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />
But then again, even if there were as many as in SMP, if they didn´t recover, it would still be too few.
 
PMT expansion pack when its done will add more islands and towns,A&M add on is still being translated te English,screwface added just Islands te POTC and is look'n fer help e add towns,characters,see his thread in de mod section here <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Town population and wealth is also reduced (by half IIRC, but you can of course tweak that) on sack.
So it takes some time to rebuild.

A bug that happed to me once with town sacking, is that I destroyed every town in the game. My computer then screwed up, and then whenever I landed or boarded, or did anything as Hawk, or whatever I called him, Then the game put me back to the bit where you meet Danielle in Isla Muelle tavern room. I fixed it though, the game just couldnt cope with no one in the entire 'pelago.

Also, you probably know this already, that fort Oxbay and fort FDF are invincible at the beggining of the game. you can attack them and get infinate exp. at the price of repairing your ship and getting new crew. Another thing is, if you get a battleship with 12lbs culerine, then they can fire further than the radar thing. It means for fort hammering, infinate exp and no damage.
 
Sorry, thats old info. The bug with that invinclibe fort was fixed in the build. Sorry! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />
