I like the High Seas. It's a bit hard, though. But it's good. :)

I believe that the recruits should get random traits.

Hi, I've played this MP and I think its great. I hope it does well.

I downloaded Mabuse's mod, and I played around with it a bit. Fixed a few bugs. I think I fixed the slave net problem...sort of. I did away with the net, and added a special unit instead, and it works pretty well.
If you don't like it just tell me to go away and I'll leave you alone. :)
I hope you like it though.

This thing is painful to play. The boat should be faster than the troops, not slower than the troops. That's why we use boats in war in the first place. The whole game was me moving my stupid boat one space, then the other players fighting prison guards and scoring ridiculous number of points, winning the game without getting on their boat before I ever saw land or another player. Uninstall...

The boat is faster than your troops, duh. Of course, you need someone to man the boat though. If you put some guys on the appropriate places in your ship and select a certain option from the right click menu, you can increase your ship's mobility and attack force quite a bit. You can easily have it go 10 spaces per turn, if not even more.

If you find something that seems that bad, but is also liked by a lot of players, you probably aren't playing it right :roll:

:augh:

:lol2:

btw clonkinator said it already - you have to put units on the right places on the boat. that means you have to "man the rigging" by putting a units on them. each unit of the maximum of 3 units which can man the rigging wil give the boat a speed of +3.

base speed is 1
3 man of the rigging = +9 speed (for +3 each)
if you use your captain to navigate it gets another +2 speed
if you own nautical maps and use captain to navigate you get anothe r+2 speed

max speed of your flagship is 14 ;)

Sorry, I was a bit hasty. This game is actually pretty good, but rather difficult to figure out.
