Having played SCourge of war Gettysburg and I know the boys at Lordz have this game also well some do. The biggest thing there that made the multiplayer aspect so good was the human interaction at regiment level. the most players online and in one battle that I have seen was 23 each controlling a portion of either Union or confederate armies. What it resulted in was armchair generals who would command thier men be that as a catious commander or an aggressive one players who worried about the state of thier troops or ones that didn't give a damn,experianced or not experianced the who thing is awesome and I know the community still plays regularly. I would urge darth to have a look at it to try and see how good for his game multiplayer could be for this game.

Did anyone here play Scourge of war Gettysburg ? The multiplayer aspect of that game especially with garniers mod in place made it a enthraling testing game but fun with it. I suspect if NA had not taken over in my list of games then I would still be playing it. as for this game multiplayer will come when it comes and will be the better for it just my 2 cents worth

I seen that image the other night I was oh lol what a freaking idiot. but what made me laugh was the number of ships shooting it even after it was beached and unable to fight anymore the video is hilarious.

The addition of multiplayer version is paramount in my opinion.

I have talked about this a couple of times in recent months it worked very well in PotBS

As soon as you tap one of the above keys be the A,d,z or x you are automatically put into manual sails mode to return to auto sails just hit 'F' key and you sails will automatically return to best position for speed. not sure if It is mentioned in the video but the 'T' de powers you sails it's easier to slow whilst de powered and when you hit T again the sails that provide power are raised quicker than your main sails do.

For learning how to manual sail there are several good videos on YouTube they are a great help and you really will notice how much faster your ship turns.

Officer perks should be considered here to deal with that instead of putting any other perks ie the combat ones that allow you to shoot harder add Doctor perk as a first choice this recovers 70% of your crew after the battle thus your losses are reduced and your crew replacement bill is much reduced making it manageable

I keep reading and thinking back to how it was done in PotBS 1) I leave KPR to sail to travel to Bridgetown currently approx 2 hours sailing time in PotBS you would sail in the direction needed for make Bridgetown once a set distance away from port say 50 miles then travel speed is increasd to say 4 times what it is now. 2) whilst traveling at high speed your trip can be interrupted by AI or players the come within visual spotting range this instantly drops you out of high speed travel (warp if you want to call it that) once you reach to within 50 miles then you drop out of high speed travel. 3) if you close within 5 miles of any port you drop out of high speed travel too.

Might I suggest something here? 1) Combat ships no fleets 2) Traders get escorts (fleets) So what I am suggesting is if you sail a Combat vessel your fleets are automatically disabled by the game before you leave port. If you decide to run your Indiaman then you get to assign escort vessels (fleets) but this is limited to say max a 5th rate as historically you would rarely find traders escorted at all unless it was a military convoy and there was very few occasions where anything bigger than a 3rd rate was used for escort duties.

Saying that since the port battle [ZERG] has recovered it's specific losses nearly with the Swedish very nicely replacing us with 2 L'Ocean's,2 Santissimas and the French adding another L'Ocean not to mention several Buccentaur 2nd rates.

Yeah I don't know the full ins and outs of that but jez only a muppit would leave port after a port battle without getting confirmation of a clear exit.

actually my alt is in the same nation as my main I would never place an alt I foreign nations to take their resources I do that by capturing their traders..1) I use my alt to farm resources for my nation in our ports/friendly ports 2) nope all resources I farm are used for the betterment of my nation / clan at no cost to the clan, I don't sell resources. 3) I use those goods to build ships. 4) indeed a very astute plan this is a war game is it not? 5) Back in the day I would of had labourers aka alts to do it for me or as was the norm in the caribe an slaves(alt).

Agreed as I was pointing out to the quoted member about his comment.

OK last night I completed my first days farming of my live oak farms 5 farms 144 live oak logs in each produced 48 fine live oak and 20 Compass wood in 4 days I will have produced enough fine live oak logs to nearly complete a new Santi build now to me thats all about the hard work but really its all about not waiting pulling 100 logs gave me 8 fine not bad really.

Trouble is that no one wants low quality ships every one wants the best they can get which means they will have to work harder for it the devs said they wanted to limit the number of 1st rates and this is how they intend to do it so suck it up and wait or work harder for it there is plenty available if you have deep pockets.

IMHO banning all alts would be detrimental to the community in that some of those alts are being used to run trading accounts which supply the economy which many other players need as they don't have the time or the inclination to sail for 2 plus hours just to collect resources to build materials to build ships.Not every alt is used for nefarious reasons.

2200 hours too

We don't hire pirates!

did we declare a special Victory no i know i didnt

hmm whom deleted my post i would like to know but thanks for posting the vid it was a fun fight.

Once again tell your screener to let us get into Antonio and then see if you get a fight but off course it's still to your advantage because you have the towers to assist you.

Oh Grundgemonkey you know that was not a fair fight Brits zerged outside KPR with 35v23 but but as many pictures in this thread will show sorry like the gank/ZERG IS their favorite tactic.

Lord V I have read here about how we are poor sailors who don't know how to manual sail or for that matter sail at all and yes we don't have a regular battle commander and this is a problem for us to deal with but fighting for 9 months 1-2 port battles a day then dealing with open world battles and the braying public outside KPR has forced many of our better commanders in to retirement and yes right now we don't have one clan able to field 20+ first rates. But we offered to arrange a fight even fleets but you turned it down PA is not a suitable location as pubbies will enter on our side so you come and sit outside KPR with your fleet and expect us to roll out and match you this is not possible with the amounts we have just sailing around trying not to get ganked. You say come to Matthew Town but if we come there in our Firsts we will be jumped as I would expect by every pirate who could sail a first rate the same as when you come to KPR. With reguards to your loses 12 + 14 =26 lost we have lost 14 + 11 captured in open world ganks so you appear to be down one as for your stock of ships I think I can match that and there are many here that really do not care enough about thier pixel ships to be worried about it. To be honest and I am sure Alan will tell you that you would have much more respect from the British nation if you didn't brag about your victories and your use of language at times is abysmal but then you are a pirate.

please get your facts straight we the British never got took you down to anything less than 4 ports we wanted too and probably could if our port battle commander didn't just keep banging his head against a brick wall by driving straight at the target port which if I remember correctly was Mantua. After 2 weeks of banging our head against that brick wall we pulled out tried to come to some agreement but Spain would not agree so the war went on but we never took you below 4 ports! Do I have to list the ports on the northern coast of Cuba to La Habana from Corrientes.
