Which Build Mod?

[callo1]

Hello gents, been a while since I played some PoTC and I have been itching to get into another game (my old saves were lost when my hard drive went out) . I was wondering which build mod you guys think is the best as far as least buggy and good features?

I had the 12.1 before and liked it, but was wondering about the newer ones.

Thanks in advance

Build13 Full is stable and mature, and you really can't go wrong with it. Build Mod 13 converts POTC into the game that Seadogs fans really wanted to play: Sid Meier's Pirates! game mechanics (ship capture, colony raids, dividing the plunder) with the visuals expanded from 2D bitmaps into Akella's lush and beautiful 3D interpretation of the Caribbean. Look for the pinned "Build Mod Downloads" thread. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

Build 14 is in Alpha and, understandably, has some bugs. I've played through the stock POTC quest w/ Build 13 and Build 14 Alpha < 6 (I forget which). My advice to a new or returning player: avoid Build 14 until it bakes in the oven a while yet.

I agree with vaustein. Build 13 Final is properly finished, though make sure to install this additional fix (see attached).
That fixes a Crash To Desktop that occurs at midnight if your ship'd cargo hold is too full.

It seems that Build 14 Alpha 6 is fairly stable and mostly playable, but it is still in Alpha stage and there's several bugs.
Build 14 Alpha 7 and Alpha 8 really can't be recommended for playing purposes, because they're too buggy.
Soon we will upload an Update for Alpha 8 with a lot of fixes though, but it has yet to be seen exactly how playable it will be after that.

In any case, Build 13 Final is the way to go for the time being. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
