Hethwill, the Red Duke

Totally.

http://www.navyandmarine.org/ondeck/1800gundrill.htm has a example of the order shouts and what the crew will be performing. also as a bonus some nautical slang can be used in some of the shouts ?http://www.navyandmarine.org/ondeck/1800nauticalslang.htm

Yes Inkompetent. But any person intelligent enough to use such a delicate machine running such a demanding piece of software is bright enough not to be a jackbackside and perfectly understands where the boundary lies.

Shoot the top sections, especially on the high rated ships. The mast roots are just massive thick.

The Constitution model is one of a kind at this timeline, as Piet well puts in. Hull of a 3rd, speed of a frigate, enhanced rigging. Super frigate indeed.

Trying to impose order is the first step towards chaos. Always remember that. - Have a nice freebooter story with one of the AUS folks before the move. Saw this beautiful trader ship, in the light of a rising sun ( at 2 AM ) and was getting ready to grab the wind on him. The name, Dogs Bollocks, I will never forget given it is a name we use in one of my gaming communities ( to celebrate Saint Oddball and the woof woof dog imitations ). He proceeded to explain the situation and I escorted the said former brit captain to safety in a free port instead of stealing his cargo waiting patiently that they all made the move to the Black. Pirate Jesus bless them for their hearts are true to themselves.

The latest issue of the International Free Press attributes the current conflict in the East as a by product of the Peace Treaty signed by Dutch and Swedish after the Swedish-Dutch war, which came to a standstill. Interesting enough the same article points out that agents and spies from the Soda Can group instigated the present conflict not envisioning the welfare of Sweden but the expansion of their own power. At the end of the article the spokeperson of the study group which follows the situation in the Caribbean quoted - "The Roadtown incident was never a reason more than an excuse to shift attention from the truth. It was more a statement than a real threat." The magazine also had some other very nice articles but this one was quite nice to read.

The fine line between RP and being offensive is easily spotted. Anyone trying to play a character and that actually plays by RP will try NOT TO circumvent rules and bring "trivialities", which add nothing to a character build, to the table such as racism and most especially slavery. It is not a question of right or wrong as it is a matter of RESPECT.

instead of saying 13, using “12+1” while at sea further regarding the red haired sailors, found this - “Redheaded crew members are bad luck, but a redheaded man whistling is very bad luck!

No idea. Not a crafter myself.

Only stuff in Free Ports. Still requires a measure of planning IF a player never acted Corsair. And I agree should be the same across the board.

Pass them on. Just a pointer, the thread title is not entirely correct. US did not surrender so it should be rephrased. Totally misleading. BTW nice popcorn, american corn ?

A real cutie

Can only Setup the timer after the next maintenance. IIRC will be solved next wednesday hotfixes (?)

Very pleased with the changes. Certainly need a improvement. Combat is very engaging, positioning and wind very decisive and boarding suddenly comes into play, a lot like back in the day. Sadly the morale system, to emulate battering another ship into submission by cannon fire ( the ranges we have now seem totally on par with the captain's logs and engagement descriptions from that era ) and boarding still is very deficiente.

Agreed.

Yes, exactly. These new features open a new kind of "warfare" . It is already being done ... somewhere

They can engage in direct trade war offensive and dry their capital of certain selected resources using smart smuggler-contracts. Thus forcing the migration to Panama for good of infrastructure. I do not see the traders making the hours of sail from Panama to Gustavia for sure. Just an idea

Make Small Battles / Large Battles equal to the Sea Trials system regarding ships. Right now it is kind of a pandora's box.

"Wanna be friends ?" "Damn right hope not !!!!! No hugging you .... you.... ... MAN THE GUNS !!!!"

These extended storms seem to happen once a week for me ( prime game time at evenings western EU ). Hardly any effect other than - "oh, hurricane season ? must get to port fast." But yeah I can understand what you are trying to say.

Nice video btw. Just an observation. Most of the combat shown is above 800m. The shots are already at very low energy at that distance. Not a bad distance if you go for rigging ( as per manuals ) but you have to go half that distance to start punishment on the opponents wooden walls.
