Fighting Named Pirates in Tavern???

[Swordeater]

Personally, I don't think there is an Annoying Foreigner at all. To be honest. Whoever invented it meant that as a joke.

[Captain Laffite]

Where did you even hear any information on an annoying foreigner? I've never heard of it, please elaborate, even if it is just made up.

Whilst i was unpacking the game files to find the skin for the main character (which i had decided to mod), i found a skin entitled 'Annoying_Foreigner256k.tga' or something like that, i opened the file with photoshop and it was a man with a purple coat and big, black curly hair. Then, a few days later, i was looking for something to do to pass my boredom so i clicked on the 'Screenshots' link above and sure enough, one of the screens was of a duel between the main character and the annoying foreigner (well it looked very,very much like the targa file anyway). I presume he exsists or else why would there be screenshots of him and why would the developers spent time making targa and (presumably) movement files?

[Got_A_Parrot?]

If you don't believe me unpack all of the seven or eight game data files and go through them until you wind the targa file, then go to the 'Screenshots' section above and go to Set 2 and then see for yourself.

[Swordeater]

That must be the Annoying Cpt of the Guard then.

[Captain Laffite]

[Got_A_Parrot?]

Captain of the Guard? Wearing a purple jacket? I think not. Perhaps no-one has seen him because the developers decided to delete the option of fighting him it out of the game but couldn't be bothed deleting the associated texture files.

[Raul Darque]

You've got it all wrong This is the French Evil Foreigner. At least according to the texture file. When I modded the french civ, I went through and modded all of the diffearnt french characters and remember this guy- a quick check back to the game files and sure enough. (File name is "french_evil_foreigner.dds") I'm not sure when you see him though... interestingly this is the same guy who appears on the back of the CD case- perhaps he was removed. I can't think of when you would fight him- perhaps a wanted man by the french?

If you remove all the Spanish ports from the board, but still have Mendoza clones running around, he will start showing up as a Frenchman, complete with purple clothing.

Thanks Don!!! I knew there was a foreigner in a purple coat but the two doubters (Swordeater and Captain Laffite) had me beginning to wonder. Hooray.

[Got_A_Parrot?]

Come to think of it, does that mean you can fight Mendoza in the tavern before you take out all the spanish towns and he appears as the frenchman?

[TheDon]

[JonathanS]

LOL.

Strange thought, but what happens when all the Spanish AND French ports are gone? Does he switch again?

[TheDon]

That's a possibility, I suppose, although it would require files for Evil English and Evil Dutch also

Just incase anyone cares, i have found out that you can duel Mendoza in the tavern once he has docked in the city (perhaps you can do it for Monty too?) this is good if you want to avoid annoying the spanish by attacking their ships if you are looking to have all four duke titles.
