Playlogic Announces Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships for PC Hitting Retail Shelves May 12, 2009
Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq OTC: PLGC.OB), an independent worldwide publisher of entertainment software, announced today that Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships is coming to retail stores nationwide May 12, 2009. The action-packed pirate adventure role playing game (RPG) for PC features dozens of quests and infinite challenges, where players can sail the high seas as a swashbuckling dread pirate or assume the role of a dashing naval captain.

FAQ from Russian Developers and gamers.

Q: Where is Des Mojnes?
A: Close to Maracaibo (you have to land on Cape of Delusive Hopes).

Q: I faced a problem in Edward Law’s quest! When I had come to Cumana, I found that Low is on a brig. Then I re-loaded, bought better ship, and came to Cumana fully equipped. But now there is no either Edward Low, or any log in the my questbook.
A: Bought the better ship – that’s a mistake. The pirate is coward and will not appear, if his opponent has an equal or forcer ship. 5-6th ship grade is the right choice for this purpose.

Q: I can not find the quest about “beggars”. In what city can I get it?
A: In the Main city of your nation. There you should talk with Oliver Trust. You can meet him on the streets.

Q: Where can I get "Bluebird" quest?
A: The quest to be given by a random store owner. Search for the corresponding log in your dialogs with them.

Q: I have run away from the island taking Spanish ship. What to do now?
A: Now you are absolutely free in your actions/wishes. There are many interesting quests. But in the very beginning you’d better to develop skills of your hero.

Q: I have complete mess in game interface. The main menu is caused on F1, I cant walk, cant open anything etc. What to do?
A: Probably, you moved savegames which are linked to a game profile. Set game options by default and save game after that.

Q: Where can I find a key for a chest which is on a balcony (Blood Character)?
A: It’s on a coffee table (ground floor).

Q: I cant equip a musket. Why?
A: Musketeers can use musket only.
There is an officer in the game who can use a very special musket. But you will be able to employ him, after you fulfilled his quest.

Q: I’ve chosen Blood Character. I killed all the Spanish in a city. Nobody is in the city now. What’s the next?
A: You should go to the shipyard and talk with officers there. They run away as you did, and now they’d like to join you.

Q: I cant come in the shipyard! It’s locked!
A: Look for another way. Through the sea.

Q: Where can I find the requested weapon I need for a bine?
You can find it inside of some houses. There are also other places at this location.

Q: Quest "Kill all the beggars"! Where can I find “the right beggar” to talk with and get the next mission hint? No one either on the streets, or in the houses. Learned nothing in a tavern.
A: All the beggars appear afternoon only.

Q: Is the contract on killing all the beggars the beginning of the main quest of the City of Abandoned Ships?
A: The quest of the City of Abandoned Ships is definitely linked to beggars. So you should decide - kill them or not.

Q: How to search for usurers’ stones?
A: Search along footpaths, walls, borders of location. The icon with a hand will appear on your screen when you're at the right place. Stones should be visible, but hardly. You can also get rid grass off (switch it off in game options).

Q: I’ve left quested frigate on the parking, so that to get rid penalties off. Then I bought a caravel - no penalties. OK. I opened at ship interface and found that it costs me 20 000 a month as a salary for my crew. But in the payment day I have been asked by 330 000 !!! What’s wrong?
A: Probably all your bad/old debts (unpaid salaries for previous months) were transferred to the next month.

Q: Why there is such a huge difference between purchase/selling prices? To purchase ship I have to pay about 50 000, but after that I can sell it only for 400?
A: That’s because of penalties in your trading skill. They appear if you use ship which doesn’t fit your navigation skill. Take the ship with a lower grade or employ high-skilled navigator.
Or just because your trading skill is too low. Then you’d better to employ high-skilled treasurer.

Q: Where can I find a key lost by Chad Kapper in the City of Abandoned Ships?
A: On a random ship, in a random place, but on the main deck only.


Q: Is it allowed to pass piracy and national mission simultaneously?
A: NO. You have to complete all the missions for your nation before the Panama take over suggested by Henry Morgan. Otherwise national quests become inaccessible.

Q: Archipelago is too big. I cannot find the island/town required. What to do?
A: You can buy detailed archipelago map at street traders or store owners. It randomly appears in their list-price.
You can also press button Tab while you’re on the global map. It makes your camera free, so that you are able to move it wherever you want.

Q: All my PIRATES competences are reduced (in brackets is written (-X)). How to get rid it off?
A: There are several reasons for such penalties:
- Your ship grade doesn’t fit your navigation skill
- Weight of things in your inventory might be higher than it’s allowed
- Your health became worth (check your health-bar at F2 interface. If it’s just good, not perfect, than you should avoid fighting for some period of time until your health restored).

Q: The governor has given a quest to kill bandits in jungles. But I cant find them. Why?
Walk once again, check all the locations. Bandits also move among locations.

Q: The governor has given a quest to find a spy in a city.
A: There are two possible scenarios:
1) He’s on the streets – then a corresponded log appears in dialogs with citizens
2) Absence of such a log means he’s definitely inside a house ( any house (!), any room (!) ).

Q: The governor has given the task to find smugglers. Where are they?
A: Their representative sits in a tavern. You should talk to him and appoint a meeting (you must have goods which are illegal on this territory).

Q: How to pass a governor’s quest “to destroy a pirate”?
A: Use function “reach to” on the local sea map. You’ll find several boats around. Check each of them using “reach to”. Usually the pirate change national flag to the pirate’s one when you’re close to him. But sometimes it doesn’t happen. So you’d better to additionally check each captain talking to him on the main deck of his boat.

Q: I get the order to destroy La Vega, but how can i do this?There isnt any fort to attack.
A: You should press Enter button being in the location of town's gate. There is an option like "think about..." Press it and see a log like "take over the town" or " attack the town" or so on...

Q: I wonder how can I get to Henry Morgans house?
A: If on Jamaica - Through the door. The house with collumns. Pass by tavern and store moving away from the sea and turn leftward.
If you mean his residence on Antigua - through the city underground. His secretary should tell you this. Find a small cellar entrance between the side walls of two houses.
A TIP: You will not need to go through tis labyrinth back to the streets: outside you may get through the door.

Q: How to steal in a city which is hostile to the hero’s nation?
A: 1)You can buy the trading licence of the nation (diplomat in pirate town->tavern), then set the proper flag (if you have the corresponding perc), then moor at the city port or at a bay/coast near the city (in this case you have to get to the city through jungles).
OR
2) Same actions without licence but having well developed stealth skill.

Q: Where can I buy a Man-of-war? There is no it in shipyards` list-price!
A: That’s right. There isn’t. You can take over the Man-of-war in battles only. You can meet such a ship within squadrons that attack towns or within the big flotillas on a global card.

Q: Where can I get the Ascold quest?
A: A random store owner asks you to bring a mummy ashes.

Q: Where can I get Isabella quest?
A: The Bermudas, Atilla.

Q: Where does the piracy quest-line start?
A: You should talk with captain Goodly (Puerto-Prinsipe) or Bermudas Governor.

Q: Is the pyramid of Indians open now?
A: Yes it is. It’s a part of the Ascold quest.

Q: Isabella has been stolen. I’ve found just a dead body of her servant. Where should I look for Isabella now?
A: She’s in a cave in jungles. The cave looks like a mine.

Q: I was heated by the Flying Dutch. Now I am alone at the coast. No ship, no money! What to do?
A: You should get to the closest town. There you have to earn money (take a governor quest or steal some things from houses’ chests etc), so that you’re able to buy a boat.
OR
You can agree with smugglers (tavern) about transportation to another island (in this case you also need money, as transportation is not free).

Q: I can not find a treasure! What’s wrong?
A: 1) If you came into the right cave the treasure’s map would disappear from your inventory. In addition there will be a log on your screen "a treasure somewhere nearby". If nothing out of those things has happened, then it’s a wrong cave, look for another one.
2) If the map has disappeared, check all the chests in the cave.

Q: Where can I find the mummy ashes?
A: A random street trader sells the mummy ashes. Ask each of them about the ashes until he/she refuses to deal with you. Finally you will find the right person, who’ll sell you the ashes after you asked him 5th time.

Q: Where can I find/collect damned pearls?
A: Take the quest from governors to protect a town from a skeletons attack. Each death of skeleton will automatically generate random quantity of pearls in your inventory.

Q: How to prevent/reduce my crew losses during a boarding?
A: First of all, you should have enough of medicines and weapon at your ship. Appointed officer-doctor which has percs: “doctor” and “life-saver”. It also helps to reduce losses.


Q: I faced a problem/bug with the nation relationship. The nation’s relationship to the hero has shown as friendly, but a fort shoots at me and soldiers attack my hero.
A: There is a difference between nation-hero relationship and nation1-nation2 relationship. If fort shoots at you that means nation of your hero is hostile to the nation fort belongs to. And/Or flag on your ship belongs to a hostile nation. In this case the hero isn’t a friend but just a representative of a hostile nation. You’d better to use flag of a nation-friend or flag of a nation this town belongs to. Of course to change flags you need the corresponding perc within hero’s personal abilities.

Q: What is the patent? How can I get it?
A: The patent is a confirmation that your hero works for the certain nation. You can get it after you fulfilled several quests of one governor, or you can buy it in any pirate town (diplomat in tavern). Having the patent you’re able to start corresponding national quest-line. The quest-line to be given by a governor-general.

Q: How to get and use the trading licence? I’ve bought the trading licence, but a fort shoots me anyway.
A: You can buy the trading licence in any pirate town (diplomat in tavern). To properly use the trading licence of the hostile nation you have to set flag of this nation or flag of the nation-friend.

Q: How can I become the owner of a captured town? I killed all the soldiers in a city, then I killed governor’s guards, but there is no corresponding sentence in dialogue with the governor.
A: You can capture towns after you completed national/piracy quest-line. Or you should break/ruin the quest-line, so that a governor-general refused to deal with you. Then towns taking over becomes available.

Q: I did nothing, touched nobody, but suddenly a log "your reputation has gone down..." appeared. What happened?
A: The reputation aspires to the medium level. So it will go up or down (depends on your current status – you’re extremely bad guy or vice versa), if your hero does nothing out of actions that usually influence on the reputation.

Q: A pirate has suggested to meet on the board of his ship. The corresponding record has appeared in my logbook. But I cant find his ship around the port. There is no his ship name in the list when I use option "reach to". What to do?
A: Sometimes it is impossible to reach the ship directly from port location. Check all the bays/coasts/beaches around the island and there try "reach to".

Q: A strange man has approached to me on the street and suggested to meet in a cave/dungeon. Should I go?
A: It’s up to you. That’s a beginning of a difficult, but quite profitable quest. If you decided to pass the quest you should follow the man (if possible, as sometimes the cave is in jungles and you have to find it by yourself), so that to meet him (sometimes them!) at the above mentioned place. If you missed at least one meeting you ruined the quest. There’re 6 towns where you can meet such strange guys:
- Fort-de-France,
- Marigo,
- St. John's,
- Santa Catalina,
- Panama,
- Cartagena

Q: How to find a unique shipyard where I can improve characteristics of my ship?
A: On the Bermudas.

Q: Where is Fort Orange?
A: On Jamaica.

Hi i dont know russian langaugae so well, thats why ill be writing in english.

I red in some topics abot my same problem with the Engine.exe, but the solution for their problem hasnt resulted for me with a succes. So problem is that when the storm engine is launched it gets to the engine part and it shows runtime error Engine.exe has stopped unexpectedly and so far.... I tried to put the newest framework and the Sp1 framework pack but it still doesnt work. By the way i have Vista Intel core2 due 2.0 ghz geforce 9600m 512 mb 4gb ram those are the most important things. I have the newest video driver sound driver(lol) directx adobe. I just dont know whats the problem so ill be waiting for good solutions

Àâòîð: Dir May 19 2009, 08:53

Check,please.What you have written permission to Engine.ini?No errors?

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 19 2009, 14:41

Engine.ini permission is not set on read-only so it has writing permissions

Àâòîð: Dir May 19 2009, 15:07

I don't see Europe version AoP2 .As you change game resolution?

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 19 2009, 15:33

i got the russian version because of the patches and you cant put russian patches on english version i have changed many times the resolution now its the lowest

Àâòîð: ALexusB May 19 2009, 15:39

English version include last official patch yet. Russian will have no more official patces. Game relized at 2007 and pathced well before eng relize

Àâòîð: Dir May 19 2009, 16:24

Unistall AoP2 and install english version only.

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 19 2009, 17:49

the english version works but then the patches which you make at your forum arent working because the english version is 1.3.0 patch...

thats why i cant put for example your hardcore patch with those cool changes is there another way?

Àâòîð: Dir May 19 2009, 19:33

Sorry.Patch 1.2.3 Hardcore Edition compatibly russian version only.

Àâòîð: navy May 19 2009, 20:05

try to reinstall game with latest official patch, if it will start normaly, install 1.2.3 HE Then tell us result

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 19 2009, 22:08

which version ? english reinstall or russian?

Àâòîð: Õðóîäëàíä May 19 2009, 22:40

If you want to play with 1.2.3.HE patch you should use russian version of Age of Pirates 2 updated to version 1.2. Then you may install 1.2.3. HE

English version of AoP 2 includes all official patches(1.1 an 1.2), but probably it's impossible to install 1.2.3. on English version of the game.

Àâòîð: Vinnie May 19 2009, 22:52

But you can try and

if I've correctly understood, what Navy means.

Àâòîð: Tymofei May 19 2009, 22:59

Patch 1.2.3 has only Russian-language edition of the texts and descriptions of characters and objects/items and will not work correctly with the English version.
I believe for its successful use in the game requires adaptation (translation and maybe change some scripts).

In addition, the Russian version use a different system of protection. I think install the patch with English version "as is" not possible.


= = = = =
But you should know that the patch will work only with the official Russian version.
NoDVD program for version 1.2.12 conflicts with 1.2.3...

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 20 2009, 15:01

by the way already tried to patch eng version it just didnt start after the storm engine and what can you suggest which is the fastest way to get money? Mission(what mission specific?),Treasure map,smuggling(which cant be done in first levels because of the ships attacking you),trading(which is very slow), so whats the best way maybe some other is better?

Àâòîð: Tymofei May 20 2009, 15:20

How much?
I get a few money (first capital) by:
Searching for lost stones to moneylenders.
Using a row for the delivery of goods to the shop and sell goods.
Looking for a spy from the governor.
Luting in the caves with skeletons.

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 20 2009, 16:01

thanks i wanted to hear that

Àâòîð: Dir May 21 2009, 05:24

Moved.

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 21 2009, 16:28

i think there are changes in custom stuff mostly the all official patches are already in english version so you just dont get the custom stuff which has been modified!



Question : Guys how can i know how much officers i can hire?because it shows i have full crew, so whats the limit or maximum?

Àâòîð: Tymofei May 21 2009, 16:45

maximum={Authority} õ 2

(counts only officer' positions on the boat and associated companions)

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 21 2009, 17:04

is it possible to increase authority somehow?

Àâòîð: Tymofei May 21 2009, 17:17

Ascold quest, the final.

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 21 2009, 19:11

where can i find mummy powder? And is the quest repeatable? How much authority it increases? Are there otther quests or items which might increase authority?

Àâòîð: bullet May 21 2009, 19:49

Answer is in the first post. Dont be so lazy
Q: Where can I find the mummy ashes?
A: A random street trader sells the mummy ashes. Ask each of them about the ashes until he/she refuses to deal with you. Finally you will find the right person, who’ll sell you the ashes after you asked him 5th time.

No

+1 point

No. There are no any items in the game which change the PIRATES stats

Àâòîð: navy May 21 2009, 19:50

Powder gives to random trader at the game beginin. So you need to find it.
Quest is not repeatable. There is no other way to increase PIRATES

Àâòîð: dozen May 21 2009, 22:08

If you're going to do this only for +1 to authority please change your mind, because that quest is realy, REALY freaking hard and gruelling. Absurdly hard. It is in the game specially for very developed fans, who can't find a worthy opponent and want more and more of difficulty.

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 23 2009, 20:43

i remembered that on age of pirates carribean tales you coulds walk around the ship deck in the battle mode, so you could aim better, but in AOP 2 you are fixed in one location and i cant see the front where i am mostly shooting and because i cant move my widness range of shooting is decreased. And here the shooting is somehow more difficult i am correctly on to it i shoot i should hit him when the red appears but it just fires like 3 kms away from him (too much but you understood my idea). Are there any tips fixes moddings, so you could walk on the ship deck?

Àâòîð: Õðóîäëàíä May 23 2009, 22:17

It's not a problem.
Just enter the options mode and Look there what button control necessary action.

As i remember in AoP 2 walk forward set on the right mouse button, back - on the scroll button.

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 27 2009, 11:45

Questions about some quests:
1. The Ship of souls i went to the white boy he told me about his father and mother? what should i do now? he told me something about his mother that shes mom was a child of a tribal medice man where to find him?
2. Find the person amongst pearl divers who gives sharp... info.. asked in botg pearl divers villages to every guard! where is he?
3.The Enchanced city : what i must do? it says investigate get more info where?

Àâòîð: bullet May 27 2009, 12:14

1. Drink with visitors in taverns untill someone told that saw the Ship near the town. Then go to the global map immediately and meet the Ship to fight. It doesnt matter who wins the battle. After that go to the White boy again. He'll give you new hint.

2. It must be a redskin

3. What stage? Caracas? Then barman, then barman in Maracaibo

Àâòîð: Amerika16 May 27 2009, 12:51

3. the stage when they killed the werewolf which wasnt a werewolf

Àâòîð: bullet May 27 2009, 12:56

I've got... Talk to a barman. He should say that the werewolf came from Maracaibo. Go to Maracaibo and discuss this topic with local barman

Àâòîð: freaker_bg May 28 2009, 23:44

hello smile.gif where do I find sharp? I madame told me he's in brothels and He's on Martinique - Port de France. So I went there to find him but nn brothel, shipyard, port control - no dialogue about him. Where to search next?

Àâòîð: lllypuK May 29 2009, 00:07

Talk to a parishioner's in church.

Àâòîð: freaker_bg May 29 2009, 14:19

well, this time I was told he's on the streets but I couldn't find him! Tried to reload the savegame and try again and the result -> sent to other city, then told he's left the port and after going to worldmap in the questbook is line like this: "I should search in brothels". When I go in brothel this whole thing repeats.... What to do?

Àâòîð: bullet May 29 2009, 14:37

There're two places in the game where you can get info about Sharp - borthel and church. There you could learn that "Sharp left the town. He went to "some town". Then you should go to "some town" and ask about Sharp there.
You have to iterate this cyrcle until somone/somewere said "Sharp's on the streets". BUT that means Sharp is in the bay near the town. So go to your ship and look for Sharp's one through the "Enter" menu.... (I have no any idea about the name of Sharp's ship in your localisation. But I'm sure that "sharp" is a part of ship's name)...
After you found his ship press "reach to" and talk to Sharp on the board of his ship.

Àâòîð: Tymofei May 29 2009, 14:39

You have to be faster Sharp.
Try again, and you're lucky

Àâòîð: freaker_bg May 29 2009, 14:46

the only ship I found after learning sharp's on the streets was the town guard ship....

Àâòîð: bullet May 29 2009, 14:52

Check all the bays/bights around using "reach to" and try to look for him there using "Enter" menu

Just to clarify : Enter -> reach to -> list of available places to visit or ships you can approach to

Àâòîð: freaker_bg May 31 2009, 22:19

I ran into a strange bug... After I stole pearls from the tartanes by just passing by them I moored on Jamaica and noticed that my character CAN'T RUN!!!! Nothing helped... How to fix it?

EDIT: I figured it out... I'm carriyng too much stuff

Àâòîð: Tymofei May 31 2009, 22:29

Your character is overloaded.
This is normal.
Go to Morgan, and everything will be OK

Àâòîð: freaker_bg Jun 2 2009, 18:43

I'm stuck again... This time I have to find John Avory. I was told he's in the taverns. My first stop is suposed to be Charlestown. So I go there, ask the innkeeper what's new but he mentions nothing bout Ivory. The business discuss option doesn't work too... The brothel - no result, Church - nothing, Moneylender - nothing, Shipyard - nothing, Governor - nothing.... I just don't know what to do next....

Àâòîð: bullet Jun 2 2009, 21:00

Why Charlestown? The first stop is Willemstad (Curacao), then Port-of-Spane... After that -> Main...

Àâòîð: freaker_bg Jun 2 2009, 21:06

I think it's randomly generated... I even opened the quest texts file and there the colonie and city names are replaced by variables which means there's no strict order of locations for this character...

PS: Charlestown is after I got to Willemstad The moneylender there told me to look in Charlestown

Any hints now?

Àâòîð: bullet Jun 2 2009, 21:24

yep... my mistake lllypuK is abs right... It's time to drink for your hero

Àâòîð: lllypuK Jun 3 2009, 08:13

Talk to a vizitor's in Charlestown tavern.

Àâòîð: freaker_bg Jun 3 2009, 18:22

thanks a lot! just finished the quest

Àâòîð: freaker_bg Jun 8 2009, 23:46

stuck again.... Ascold quest...searching for powder.

The merchants on SanJuan mentioned something about powder, but they refused to talk further about it, and after the 4th question about powder they refuse to bargain! The next day they don't even know what's mummy and etc. That's an endless circle and I'm really sick of it! Someone with similar problems?

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jun 9 2009, 00:15

You have to talk with all the traders in the carribeans about powder, until they won't have to have deal with you, or until some gives you the powder.

Àâòîð: freaker_bg Jun 9 2009, 15:01

well, I used the console function to give info bout this quest, and it says that "here will be hearings about flute on trader:SanJuan". So I suppose that ONLY in SanJuan I'll be able to get powder?

Àâòîð: Cap'n Drow Jun 10 2009, 05:40

Okay, so I'm finally posting over here for the Seaward crew to see again.

**waves** Hi there everyone. So you know, we are getting quite the lively group of posters over on Pirates Ahoy! As people start to play the game they are both frustrated by and love the game at the same time.

Something I can shed a bit of light on for you, part of the reason that you may not be getting as much activity on the boards here as you were expecting is because the game is still very difficult to fine in other countries.

It is beginning to show up slowly but surely though.

The other thing that may push folks away is the simple fact that the language barrier appears kind of steep and difficult to surmount.

Lots of english speakers have a tough time expressing them in their native tongue. When presented with a forum that there is only one or two english forums on it they get either frightened or concerned that they won't be understood at all.

Most folks that are playing are very much enjoying it. Many players and modders in the west would like to see many of the things that have been created for the Russian modifications brought over to the west.

The biggest problem that I see will be is the simple fact that the western version of the game has to program directory unlocked already and anyone can make a mod for the game. Here in Russian version the program directory is locked and unmodifiable by the average user, the only people that have access to those files are Seaward and any mod groups that have gotten permission.

For us to use the files in the west would require access to the program directory of any mod we wanted to use files and quests from.

Believe me, we want to use anything we can from all the mods that have been done in Russia, but without unlocked access to the program directory for the mods, we won't be able to translate those mods, let alone get any of them into our games without a LOT of guesswork on how things were done on our part.

Anyhow, just figured I would update you on status and look forward to hearing from you folks here or over on Pirates Ahoy!

Cap'n Drow

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jun 10 2009, 10:28

The problem is, verry small number of users are reading this topic, so this information will probably get to 1 or 2 modding teams. I think you should try to connact them directly, but first be sure that they have permision of the Seaward.Ru to publish the unlock version of the mods.

Àâòîð: Cap'n Drow Jun 10 2009, 15:44

Thats just it. Not even we have permission, nor have access to unlocked copies of any of the mod code versions.

So many folks just have to look at all the excellent mods that have been done here in Russia and ask 'Why don't we have those mods'.

All that most of us here can tell them is, 'We don't have access to major parts of the mods to add them in english because of differences in copy protection and the files that are accessible'.

We'd love to have access to unlocked copies of the Mods, but thus far have not been able to get permission for that because so many of the mods change original code from CoAS, and don't just add new files.

We are still hoping for permission from Seaward and Akella to even pursue this. From what I've understood from Dir, it is Akella that has final say on whether we get access or not.

Hello smile.gif I have a couple of problems in this city....

1. Can't enter all the temples(these on the both sides of the temple of white gods), because there's no icon to do it....
2. When I try to put something in the back of the temple of white gods I get this message "You don't have need for this item" or someething like that.

any help?

PS: I used the Show Locators option in the debugger to see if there are any for these two temples. And there are, but there are no locators for my officers... Also when I go through these locators I get no message about function.... Is it possible to be a bug inly in the western version? Can someone upload the russian locator file for Tenochtitlan?

Àâòîð: navy Jun 14 2009, 20:03

As I remeber this is normal. You can't take your officers there.

I'm having a problem with Morgans "Belize attack" quest. You get it while playing the english nation quests.

It seems that I have waited too long (over one year) and morgan won't give me the quest.

How can I edit the time limit of that the quest? Will the changes work without starting a new game?

Àâòîð: navy Jun 15 2009, 20:08

You can't. The quest is over. You need to start new game if you want to make this quest.

Àâòîð: freaker_bg Jun 16 2009, 15:54

can someone tell me what software is used to encode the russian game's core files?(the Program folder)

Àâòîð: navy Jun 16 2009, 19:52

Àâòîð: Handel Jun 30 2009, 16:09

I play the english version of the game and now have 3 absolutely identical fighters wich makes PITA to identify who is who etc...
So my question is - is there a way to edit the save game (or anything else) to exchange the appearance of the fighters to some of the others existing offcers?

I understand russian so if there is a solution to this in the russian forum please just point to it.



PS. It is weird - I had registration for seaward.ru for couple of years but had to register at new.

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jul 1 2009, 01:07

I guess there is no solution to such "problem". You may dismiss 2 of officers, and hire other different officers.

Àâòîð: BIG DADDY KANE Jul 1 2009, 15:59

damn i have a question , what quests should i start with ,? not to destroy other quests i want them all

Àâòîð: Handel Jul 4 2009, 23:49

My officers think the best heavy weapon is the Estoc and don't change it for better weapon. Is the only way to force change the weapon the hero to become a higher level?
And I have one officer wich joined with his ship. He don't give his shitty Estoc even when he is lower lvl then the hero. Any ideas?

Àâòîð: Õðóîäëàíä Jul 5 2009, 01:55

2Handel

Yes

This person is a PsHero. As I remember player couldn't change weapon of this type of NPC, even the hero's level is bigger than. Try to offer him another good heavy saber. Each NPC prefer the type of weapon in that they have best experience. Maybe this is the problem.

2BIG DADDY KANE
It's impossible.
You have to choose what nation will get your sword an ship. So after starting of one of national storyline other states will not give you any quests.
Also you should start National Line before Pirate's quests. Only this way allow you to finish National and Pirate story

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jul 5 2009, 22:16

I had that problem too. But when i gave them the "Tanat", they took it.
Also as i observed, they prefer the weapon with lesser weigh if the difference of damage of those two weapons is small.

Àâòîð: Handel Jul 13 2009, 16:08

Game difficulty and _mod_on_off.h file:

I was browsing _mod_on_off.h to find the difficulty of the game I am playing and found this:

Now
int MOD_EXP_RATE is the rate with which the hero and the officers gain XP;
int Level_Complexity is the difficulty (from 1 - sailor to 10 - impossible)
...so far so good...

BUT look at this:
int MOD_SKILL_ENEMY_RATE = 1; // 1- easy; 2; 3; 4; 5-medium; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10 - hard

What exactly is this? Is this the rate at which the enemies level up? There is no option for this in the starting screen and it seems the enemy levels are quickly falling behind the Hero when he raises in levels... Must this value be set at "5" for medium difficulty game?

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jul 13 2009, 16:37

Yes.

Àâòîð: Handel Jul 13 2009, 23:12

Can you explain a little bit more please? Who exactly are those "enemies" which level up? Every NPC or only certain more important persons?

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jul 13 2009, 23:27

Every npc. This is a part of the game system. The higher dificulty level - the higher will be all NPC level.
Sailor, if i have not forgot, the npc level is lower than player's level. On the impossible - the npc level is much higher, and they have more skills and a better equip - that's why is difficult to defeat them.
The special, quest npc - they have a static level, wich does not depends of the player's level.

Àâòîð: Handel Jul 14 2009, 00:55

Thank you!
I decided to start a game on impossible only to check the difficulty settings and this one

Is the meaning of this that even on impossible the NPCs will receive much less experience then the player and even if they started at higher levels after some time they will fall behind? And is this true for all the NPC besides the certain quest NPC (those with static levels)?

Àâòîð: delfin_ Jul 14 2009, 01:15

Well yes, it means that it will be more easy to play on the impossible now.

Yes.

Àâòîð: Handel Jul 24 2009, 19:10

Please!!!
The quick repair perk don't work with companions. Instead the "light repair" icon shows non-stop - and it can be activated but works as intended - only if the HP of the companion ship are under 10%; but the "quick repair" icon does not appear at all.
PS. Of course the companion has the perk and there are both planks and sailcloth. I tried changing the companion and this doesn't help; swapping the ships helps of course but it is PITA to do in the battle.


PS. Russian link is ok.


PS. Guys... you, which made the game... sorry to inform you but who translated the game from russian to english just stole you money... why this?... two quick examples:
1. There is a command in the companion commands which for unknown reason is translated as "sail away". Actually the correct text should say "Sail directly in the middle of the enemies untill you are sunk"
2. The skills of the officers translated for unknown reason "pistols". Of course the correct translation should be "Skill which allow to the officers to carefully aim so every time to shoot in the back of the Hero to prevent him from defending or attacking and this way getting him killed"

Of course this may be your fault but are you really that stupid not to see the difference between "sail away from the battle" and "sail directly in the middle of the enemies untill sunk"?

Hi all

I have a russian version City of Abandoned Ships (original) updated.

the game works fine - 1.2.3. no problems.
Now in downloaded 1.2.4.FT

Location - Inkas town Tenotchitlan - diving in labyrinth give me a black screen - only visible things a heros portrait, date, time and oxycen counter, game still running, if i go back the old location loads.

Whats the problem?

Àâòîð: VladNiP Jul 31 2009, 20:21

I had the same.
Try restarting your computer, or just leave the game.
This helped me.

Àâòîð: K.I.A. Jul 31 2009, 20:39

Tried - same story

Ups - i find the solution - the underwater part have to play in lowest resolution 800x600 - this takes black screen away - considering a monitor size it was like a playing on mobil phone

Àâòîð: Handel Aug 16 2009, 19:54

Is there a legit way to get Sharp as n officer?
I read a russian walkthough which actually an exploit + save/load untill the conditions are met.
So did someone found a legit way to get him?

hello guys, I really enjoy this game, but I'm stuck, I began new game with adventurer , and shipyard master gave me a quest, he told me to steal some blueprints of Corvette from marigo city shipyard master, but when i get to marigo, the master doesn't tell me anything, i went to it's storehouse or something, stole everything but couldn't find the blueprints, and i talked to the shipyard storehouse manager or whatever he is called, about the blueprints and he attacked me, can anyone help me?

Àâòîð: N.tony Jan 22 2010, 01:38

Dude, the quests here are a bit more complicated than "get a job - move to the target - initiate dialog option - move back - profit"...

If you're to steal something from someone's office - what would you do? Hint: alarm systems available at that time sucked.

Àâòîð: sssaaannn Jan 22 2010, 11:57

yeah, i know that, but there is only one chest in shipyard master's room, and It can't be opened, and in the other room, I opened all the chests but got nothing, and I talked to the guy, defending the chests, and asked him to help me get in the shipyard at night, but he began screaming and attacked me...

I thought maybe someone has done this kind of quest....

P.S thanks for answering btw

Àâòîð: N.tony Jan 22 2010, 20:03

Well, why do you need to ask someone to get in the shipyard at night, when you can do that on your own? I mean, you still should put some thoughts to the matter, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to appear inside after the door's closed...

Àâòîð: sssaaannn Jan 22 2010, 20:11

I did it, at last, but i have another problem... General governor of spain gave me a quest, to save 3 spaniards, who are in port royal jail, but i can't find that damned jail in town, at first I thought they were in the fort, but English soldiers attack me so i have to massacre all the fort soldiers, and it's a tough thing for me, so where should i look?

Game - CoAS version 1.2.4 FT russian

Q: Is there a possibility to have 2 D.Sheppard?
In Des-Moines quest i have 2 "Queens", but first D.S dissapears then i take second "Queen".

Àâòîð: Shadow_hunter13 Mar 9 2010, 20:19

I never heared about second Daniel...
But if you already joined Daniel, you can get two other female officers(in Bermuda's and pirate village on Cuba taverns)

Sorry my english

Àâòîð: bullet Mar 10 2010, 23:48

Interesting... Have you installed Russian 1.2.4. mod over the English ver. of CoAS ?..

"the first Daniel has disappeared..." © How it happened?

Àâòîð: K.I.A. Mar 11 2010, 18:59

CoAS is russian version of game

patched, i use only new Soleyl mode

How it happend
I start quest in Des-Moines - Nevis - Inka town - Scull - Nevis - Queen - first D.S in crew - in one moment in South Spanish main i disaided to finish the quest, but first i visit Caracas ? - mob - tavern - church - tavern - Des Moines bay - fight (5 men ) - Des Moines - and ups quest starts again - Nevis - Scull dialog - second Queen. Then i take second Queen, second D.S replaces first one ( stats, equip shows its a second one)
i tried to put first D.S in ports office - after taking second Queen, first D.S ship disapears, diary - ships in ports data is corrupted (empty). If i make her companion, after taking second Queen i get ghoust ship - Queen (lugger, tartana) - ship icon on sea. The 2 Queens stats a diffrent.

Maybe its connected to new Soleil mode, because in France quest line i noticed this - Last mission - SR to Bas-Ter - before talking to marquise i stored SR in port office - after talking there a 2 SR, one near fort, second in port office - same men as captain. Sorry about my bad english.

Àâòîð: bedee May 9 2010, 10:12

In the mission in which Morgan sends you to conquer Portobelo and Panama, after the conquest of Panama the governor says that the army commandant has the key to the gold trunk and Morgan send you to find it. Where is this key or this commandant ? I have searched every inch of Panama and Portobelo, including the forts and prisions but I have found nothing.

Please help.

Àâòîð: Shadow_hunter13 May 9 2010, 11:09

This key is in the chest behind(after) the fort

Àâòîð: bedee May 9 2010, 13:19

I've already tried that chest it's not there. There are only 0, 1 or 2 random items there.
I loaded an older save, fighted my way to Panama again, question the Governor, talked to Morgan and then searched for the key again. I can't find it anywhere this time either.
Is it a bug or am I missing something ? If it's really a bug does a workaround exists ?

Àâòîð: Shadow_hunter13 May 9 2010, 13:31

Sorry, I get mistake. Key is on the comendant*s table at Panama fort.

Àâòîð: bedee May 12 2010, 14:38

I found it, thank you.

I have two more problems:

1. in one mission I must find Askold's informant in Havana, but i can't find it. Askold won't tell me nothing either. I want to point that I conquered Havana for France and I don't know if this affects the mission.

2. if I land on Mosquitos Shore a guy came and wants to tell me something but the dialog box is empty and the game locks (I must close it with alt+F4). Is there something I must to to avoid this ? I'm using the english 1.3.0 version of the game.

Àâòîð: lllypuK May 12 2010, 14:46

You can find him in Santiago (another town on Cuba)

Àâòîð: Warship May 12 2010, 14:50

Apparently, this is a bug of english version of CoAS. To avoid this, not land in this shore

Àâòîð: Tomas May 13 2010, 11:26

This bug can be fixed with WordPad. I think someone on this forum already said that fix is on English forum. "Do not land there" means that player won't finish at least two quests.

Edit. http://www.cheathappens.com/show_board2.asp?headID=90785&titleID=15150. Searched for "age of pirates mosquito" in some popular search engine.

Àâòîð: Warship May 13 2010, 12:48

I'm sorry i forgot that the english version of game has open scripts.

If a fix is on English forum, this problem can be easily solved.

Àâòîð: Tomas May 16 2010, 17:47

No cheats. Looks like I saved and reloaded way too many times and profile is corrupted. I still have one older save, which I think did not break that way, but it is 2 years old. Before teno, city of abandoned ships and flying dutchman.

Àâòîð: IsBushCar? Aug 17 2010, 15:54

Looks funny Are you able to you sell that ship?

Àâòîð: Tomas Aug 17 2010, 16:21

Ship slot is corrupted. I might be able to get that corvette back (haven't compared stats of ship before corruption and after "purchasing" sloop for corrupted slot), but I lose crew, supplies and trained companion.

Not as funny as when you get one and only Flying Dutchman from Port Control in Port Royal and it is converted to generic man-o-war stored in other Port Control.

After such corruptions I prefer to sail with just one ship (if 42lb cannons and 3k crew are not needed for town operations) and most of my ships are special ones. Only couple of man-o-wars are generic ships.

Hi every1


I need some help with a few things in the game:

1. I am on the second quest for Spain (Nation quest line) “At the behest of the holy inquisition” all was fine until I was sent to Panama to find Joao d’Ylan. I spoke with the trader at the store where the main character finds out that he has been missing for a month. In the quest log it sais something about searching the in Panama and the surrounding area. I have looked everywhere but I am stuck here I could use some help here!

2. While in Panama at the tavern while I was looking for hints on the quest mentioned above a dude told me that he saw a ship with black sails manned by skeletons or something, anyway I now have a quest in log book called “The ship of souls”, just out of curiosity is that the quest that activates the Flying Dutchman? And if so where/how do I find it?


Thanks!

Àâòîð: N.tony Feb 28 2011, 01:48

Never touched the Spanish quest line, but regarding Flying Dutchman, one has to hear that rumor for 3 times and then go to the global map - it will appear nearby and initiate the fight.

Àâòîð: Tomas Mar 1 2011, 09:09

He is not in surrounding area. That trader is in Panama itself.

Today I downloaded an English version of CoAS, and now I want to update it as much as possible and plus apply some new addons/mods, because I've already played original game long time ago and now I want to experience something new. What would you suggest me to download? Please make a "step-by-step" guide if possible.
