Great minds think alike... but we need better timing, Wolfwood. Wink

Ikky, you guys are right about the port sacking thingy. I just poped into my game to test it out.

Very early in my game, I was sacking towns for the Dutch. The Florida Keys were one of those cities. I remeber it very clearly because I used it as a base to harase Havana for many, many years. Now, for the past two decades of game time, I have been roaming around the sea hunting down Monty and Raymondo, and going after lost cities and pirate treasures. I pass by the Florida Keys on a regular basis, as Nassur (sp) is my new base of opperations. The Keys have changed nationalities a lot over the course of time.

Anyway, final point is, I can't attack the Keys, even though it's been over twenty years since I last attacked the place, and even though it has been changing hands at the whim of the computer AI through invasions. This is seriously wacked out. Perhaps there should be a patch warning sticked somewhere? (Or perhaps there is, and I missed it?)

Anyway, I suppose I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling. I do like being able to tell what my ransomes are, as I have titles with every nation. However, sacking towns is vital to my stratagy. And I don't care about the treasure fleet, there really isn't very much gold.

As a final point, if anyone in the loop is reading this, bring back the silver train! That was my favorite part of the old versions. Greater risk for greater reward, that's the way. Plus, it was a prize worth tracking down on the Spanish Main.

P.S.
The bar fight bug is drasticaly different for me. Instead of Mendoza, it's a lot of different people, including named pirates. And just a few hours ago, it was Ramondo. This might be explained by the fact that Ramondo was in that town, and I fought him right after that. I.E., I had to fight the officer in the bar (that looked like Raymondo) in order to talk to the barkeep, who then let me fight the real Raymondo, who was much harder.

No matter how many times I tell people, they never seem to understand this ->

(not previously mentioned in this thread)

Your "Captain of the Guard" opponent is now based on your rank!!!

Lower rank captain, lower ranking opponent.

Duke gets that grey haired dud.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. But I was still seeing some of the named pirates in there as well. Unless I'm just off on that, and need new glasses.

I don't have any screenies, and I have since reinstalled to get rid of the patch.

However, the "alternate" Monty looked just like the normal Monty, but without the crest thingy on his hat.

Q-MAN-CHEW!

Didn't notice if he had an eye patch or not.

Kay, I would like to say right now that I'm not that familiar with what all the various NPCs look like in this game, as I've only been playing it a week now, and I'm usualy concentrating more on the action than on the asthetics.

I'll look through my screenies to see if I can find one of those NPCs that I thought were out of place, but the only bar fight I can remember capturing is the one with that fat guy that's on my Avatar now.

Ahh heck, this is getting WAY OT. If I find something, I'll post it in another thread on this board.

Hey, let's be nice here. We were all new at some point!

The alternate Montalban that Rupert refers to is not in the game normally. You have to edit the game files to have him appear. There are some of these unused character graphics in the game files that were not used for one reason or the other and were left on the released CDs/DVDs by mistake / on purpose...

I 'spose the devy guys don't work over the weekend. Hopefuly they'll provide some of the info I requested earlier over the next week or two. That'd be great.

Also, does anyone know if the developer or publisher has released any statments regarding the bugs and (semi)game-breaking "features" introduced with the current patch? If so, where can I find it? If not, I think we (or at the very least, I) would like such a statemnet, even if it's just a one-liner marketting cliche.

Here's hoping
