I bought the game before New Years, just got my key today, was really excited to play . . . and it doesn't work. I get this little message: "Game required shader model is 5. Your shader model is 4." Any idea what that is? I've never run across a "shader model" in my life. The good news is, if it's a problem with my hardware, I got some money set aside from Christmas to spend on video cards and such.

Me and another dude both in Cutters where fighting 2 AI. He was fighting alongside I think a Brig at the time and got too close, somehow the Brig basically sucked his cutter in and it ended up flipping over and rolling underneath the brig like it was on magnets attached to the Brigs haul. Was one of the funniest things I've seen and it insta killed him.

I rolled a Brig in my Cutter once, it was awesome. And then I promptly sank.

Heh, I just managed to completely dismast an opponent. Didn't even realize the game would let that happen. I saw the masts go down and thought it was sinking, but then realized I was still getting hit by his cannon and he was still there a few minutes later, so I had to sail into appropriate position and finish him off. Felt brutal.

We somehow won the match, me sitting in my Cutter sans mast taking pot shots at a brig that was a hair outside my carronade range. Luckily the last guy on our team managed to finish off the enemy Snow and Brig.

When they first introduced that, it was way too easy to do. Probably realistic that way, but not fun.

If an entirely different game can deliver on PotBS' promise of hundred ship fleet PvP it'll be pretty hilarious. If it's good, anyway.

On another note, this game looks pretty good already. I`m totally broke and in the process of moving to another country at the moment but I`ll be buying it as soon as I have some money spare. Also, shanties. It is known, after ac4 no sail game can go without shanties.

I saw an Antiques Roadshow repeat on the weekend and they had a captured French signaling cannon on it. Basically they would run up the communication flags, then fire the cannon as a "look this way shitheads" message.

I don't think it'll ever be a campaign, it'll be very ree form. It's online-only, after all. We don't much, but there is some info on the Game Labs forums. They're starting with the Caribbean but will definitely be adding other spots later, probably Europe and then the Mediterranean. No idea on sailing times, but we do know that they plan on letting merchants hire escorts, and should they be attacked, members of whatever faction they've hired can "teleport" in to assist (Or NPCs will spawn). See here for that discussion: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/2654-escort-system/

Oh god I am so loving bad at this. e: Ran into Phly Daily, 2v1, I was the 1. I almost sank him, but the other guy saved him by ramming me right as I was firing the coup de grace, so I missed. I lost but had just over 900 damage, they had about 400 total. I then got treated to watching two frigates trading broadsides at point-blank range. Literally. They were touching each other, one boarded the other, both were listing horribly and one was taking on water. Still broadsiding. Eventually the enemy one sank, but the friendly one was totally crippled. I killed the last enemy yacht to win the game, though! rossmum fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jan 9, 2015 |

Having never heard of this game before and stumbled across the thread while browsing.... I think this fits in nicely after having finished the first book in the Aubrey - Maturin series, so I am pre-ordered!

The biggest problem with the French Republican Navy is that they executed or cashiered almost all of their good officers, and a lot of terrible ones, and had poo poo leadership for years afterward. Well that, and a little too much democracy on the quarterdeck.

So you're only doing severe damage to a ship once the armor is depleted right? Or is there a possibility of sinking a ship / getting a lucky hit even if their armor is still high I guess I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of 'armor' in wooden ships... really it's just knocking out all the massive timbers that run along the frame and compose the structural integrity of the ship right?
