Heh heh...no new posts from Elcid..... so we all know he MUST be deep into the Trainging sessions now :D

I havent had a game engage me like this (bought the game 2 months ago ...and finished my first career from 1939 to the end of the war just this past Sunday) since the original Sid Mier's PIRATES on the Commodore 64. Starting on career number 2.

You're absolutely right, Faamecanic. hehehe. we're having some bad weather here and a branch fell over and knocked out power to my house.. that's when I noticed it was three in the morning...

I'm only just starting out but this is promising to be an outstanding game.

oh, and power's back up so I can play again tonight... there goes my social life

You will spend your days with about 40 sailors....that looks like a pretty busy social life to me! ;)

Re: woohoo!!!
 

welcome to the club, and btw, u paid ur protection fees yet? lol jk.

Hi, thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Can you believe I haven't been able to play all weekend? The same weekend I got the game?

Anyway, I have a couple of questions:

At what point do you save after returning to base after patrol? I went on my first patrol and bagged myself a merchant. when I got back to port, the band started playing, the nurses started throwing flowers and all that.. then I saved the game. (perhaps that was my mistake)

when I tried to reload my career.. my patrol was gone...

Also, does anyone know the minimum arming range for those early war torpedoes? I onced first at a merchant from something like 200 meters. I just heard a loud thud and then nothing... did it not arm or what is simply a dud?

Thanks

Most people aren't into sims and don't have the patience for this game... :roll: The minimum range for early and pre-war torpedoes is about 300m If I remember correctly.
