You can ask any questions about add-on here

You should have positive reputation - architect just doesn't work for 'evil' guys

It depends...

At begin, while you don't have any ships, you can kill brigands in jungle or skeletons in caves, loot them and sell stuff. Or you can borrow some coins from a local money-lender, buy the cheapest boat (it costs like 500 gold, iirc) and solve simple quests which don't require decent ships (passenger/gold delivery, escorting merchant ships, etc).

After you've bought a 6th class ship, you can start to trade. First learn some basic concept of prices system in the world, then just buy everything low, and sell it high. Get enough money to buy a 5th class ship - and then piracy is easy! Once you become an experienced player, you can start piracy even having just 6th class ship, though.

Arrrrrr!!!
I'm "Horor of the high Seas". That's it.
But i've done my reputation so bad to be able to hire one of the nice girls. And if i'm a good guy she will leave me and never return. Ahhhh.

Thanks Gray!

np Well, it's a simple rule: you can't have all the bonuses at the same time

You can find the girl for "good" guys, in the pirates fort on Venesuela.

Huuuh... Venesuela? IIRC it's Curacao not sure tho - check both of them, emrep!

I know, in a version that i've played end of last year, their was Lisa Drake in Nevis the girl for good guys. That would be the girl i prefer.
May it be that they get random reputation?

It was changed lately - Drake is a girl for 'bad boys' now, and the girl for 'good ones' can be hired at Curacao (iirc). Can't recall her name... she's in bright clothes (yellow or so).

Hi,

I have installed the A&M addon as descripted by mawricus in another topic (using the 8 russian files plus the fonts) and I added the files translation I have found in piratesahoy ftp server.

I do not speak any russian and I am playing the game since 2 days. I didn't manage to raise the sum needed to buy a ship (cheapest ship is up to 3800 gold).

It is practically impossible (maybe only for me) to fight the brigands in jungle since they are 4 in a very open space and I manage to kill the skeletons in the cave (first part) but I do not understant how to loot them. When I kill a skeleton nothing is added to my inventory.

Can anyboby give me a hint how to loot brigands and skeletons, and if I can find any more files translated in english?

Thanks.

If you want to loot somebody you should press "1" or "Enter/loot", when you stand over the killed enemy.

Hi, warrior.
To loot corpses you must use button '1',(in ver >= 1.05.0125).
Or - Enter->select icon "Hand". - this is the only variant in versions lower than 1.05.0125

ups... : I writed that offline and mawricus did than already
AND SO I have some advise for you about looting :
when corpses will be the only thing you'll see around, try to loot them by standing above the lower half (legs), use small steps to move around, and you may loot them all (or you may not )
You're welcome

Thanks mawricus and Void, I will try that.

"See" you probably tomorrow.

Thanks again ...

Huuuh... just 8 files? To get the latest update, you need to install 8 base files (60Mb together), then 5 resource files and then update itself (0125). Basic version you have now is playable too, but it has A LOT of bugs and no '1' binding - so the only way to loot is to use 'enter'.

Arrrr!
Another question. I've read in "alexusb_list.htm" point 115, that their is a guy to find who can make my ships nicer, better, faster. Who is that guy and where may i find him?

The guy is AlexusB himself Yes, he lives in Caribbean basin as well! At Martiniqua, to be exact - there is a semi-hidden passage in the cliff at FdF port.

Arrrrr! Thanks, Gray!
I think i know that place where you mean.

It's Venesuela! I'm sure!

Hi pirates,

I managed to capture a Man 'O War and two Battleships and I attacked Venezouela's Fort which was under Spain's control.

I did it well at the Fort and I was supprised that the prise was only cannon balls, food, etc. Then I decided to enter the town and when all soldiers were dead, I went to the Governor/Mayor Residence. Since I don't speak any russian, I spoke to him and I had chosen to use always the first choice of the dialogue as to answer. Then the Governor/Mayor ended to prison and there is nobody at the town. No price, no nothing.

What should I do in order to assign an other governor or to win some money ?

Thanks

You have decided to leave a colony to yourself, on it in the beginning in it nobody will be. You can appoint the officer the governor

Before you attack the fort, you could speak with citizens. If you ask them about the town, they could give you some information about gold or silver, wich is in the fort. After that, if you attack the fort, you will really find this gold.

When you speak with the Mayor, after capturing the fort, you have two choises in the dialogue.
1. Yo can send the mayor to prison and appoint a new mayor from one of your officiers. Then the town became yours.
2. You can demand a ransom for the town. But after the mayor paid it, you must leave the town.

Good luck!
