MCSmarties's - Brethren of the Coast Mod
(scroll down for the actual mod)
Historical Brethren of the Coast Info
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brethren_of_the_Coast
A loose coalition of pirates and buccaneers that were active in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico.
They mostly operated in two locations, the island of Tortuga off the coast of northwest Haiti and in the city of Port Royal on the island of Jamaica.
They were a syndicate of captains with letters of marque and reprisal who regulated their privateering enterprises within the community of privateers and with their outside benefactors. They were primarily private individual merchant mariners of Protestant background, usually of English and French origin.
Tortuga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortuga_(Haiti)
In the 17th century, Tortuga was a major center and haven of
Caribbean piracy.
From 1630 onward, the island of Tortuga was divided into French and English colonies, allowing buccaneers to use the island as their main base of operations.
By 1640, the buccaneers of Tortuga were calling themselves the
Brethren of the Coast.

Before it could become the most internationally recognizable part of Haiti, the Island of Tortuga served as a de facto command center for an infamous band of Golden Age Pirates called the Brethren of the Coast.

Replacement Game Executables Further in the thread
to fix the Known Flaws, Dutch text remnant issues

(Not included in the main Brethren of the Coast Mod zip file)
WHAT THE MOD DOES
This Modification changes the Dutch Civilization to the Brethren of the Coast (ie Pirates) "Nation".
Specifically, most "Dutch" elements are replaced with "Pirate" elements (the FPK pack contains a whopping 71 modified files!), such as:
Characters: Barmaid, bartender, daughters (6), governors (3), mayors (2), captains (8 ), captain of the guard, merchant and shipwright
Ship flags, pennants and sail emblems
Event, map and town flags
Decorations in the tavern and in the governor's mansion (can you identify the Brethren in the paintings?)
Stern decoration of the ships
Ship and Settlement names
Crew members and land army
The name "Dutch" is replaced with "Brotherhood"
("Brethren of the Coast" is too long and causes grammatical problems...)
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS
1. Copy the 'Brotherhood.fpk' file to your 'Custom' folder.
2. Copy 'text.ini' to your 'Assets' folder.
To remove this Modification simply delete the files again.
POSSIBLE CONFLICTS
* Be aware that doing this will remove any text replacement mod that you currently have installed.
* Also make sure you don't have ANY customized Dutch textures in your custom folder.
KNOWN FLAWS
* Some screens still have the name of the civilization appear as 'Dutch'.
* The Cities still look Dutch (ie house textures, roofs, etc. - there are just too many files to mod)
* There is a slight decrease in texture quality on those textures that have been edited.
* City names that appear above the cities and settlements while sailing are still in orange
* Although I did modify the Dutch land army units, they still appear the same as in the unmodded game. Weird.
* There are suddenly a lot more pirates cruising the Caribbean!
Wait, is that a flaw? Smile
CREDITS
I would never have been able to put this mod together without the enormous amount of work that has been done before.
I have liberally used textures, sometimes as-is, from pre-existing mods.
Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that. Anyway, tons of Kudos to the modders that came before me!
Files that I have re-used come from the following mods (I hope this list is complete but I'm not 100% sure):
* Elderp's Pirate's Theme Packs (not only did I re-use all the files, but these themes are what gave me the idea to completely replace the Dutch with the Brethren of the Coast)
* Thoerr's Prussian Invasion (these files were the real starting point for this mod)
* devguy's Plain Daughters
* Loki's Bar Scenes
* CaptRedde's Assorted Pyrates
* Another_Russian's Condent Pennant
* IrishJim's Ireland Mod (although I didn't directly reuse any files, it helped me figure out some things)
* I don't know who made the sail emblem I'm using for the Brotherhood, but I love it!
(if you'd rather use a different texture, name it ship_sail_emblem_lrg_dut.dds and put it in the 'Assets' folder)
* Finally, several files are lifted directly from the game itself (usually "Pirate" files I renamed to their "Dutch" equivalent, sometimes also tweaking them a bit)
Now you can play the game as a true pirate from the beginning to the end, never helping a European nation! ARRRR!
How to install:
1. Download the file.
2. Find your Custom in your Pirates file directory. Normally it is C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Pirates!\custom
(best practice is to now avoid using Program Files)
You can also find go My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Pirates!\ and create a folder called custom.
3. Extract the files inside the zip to either custom folder.
4. Open the custom folder you just extracted the files to. Copy the text.ini and go one directory up and paste it into assets.
5. Launch SMP.

All, basically a brethren of the coast faction with a removed dutch. Interesting enough.
Also has the slower aging mod and useless items mod included. Somethings you wish the original game came with |

slower aging mod and useless items mod included can be applied to
the original game
use
AdamMil - The Challenge Pack Mod Link
http://www.hookedonpirates.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7902
generate a new game executable with Challenge Pack Mod options
selected as required
New game probably required
AV exclusion folder may be required
Minor Relations / Useless Items Mod - This mod fleshes out the relationships with the minor powers (pirates, Indians, and Jesuits), which were never implemented in the original game, and gives use to the Indian and Jesuit artifacts, which were therefore useless in the original game. It also makes disguises more useful and fixes the Dutch rutter so it works correctly according to its description.
(Useless items are not as useless as once though and do influence gameplay)
http://www.hookedonpirates.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=125297#125297
Slower Aging - This mod reduces the effects of aging by 25%. This is the only mod that makes the game easier, but the result is more realistic and it helps with finishing the more difficult game that results from applying the other mods.
see Challenge Pack Thread link above for full details |
