sorry, it's been... several years. uh. elvish pillager's variant has a dedicated PVP map and mode, and some nice improvements that would be very nice to see back in the original- it's called EP's High Seas Engine, on add-ons.wesnoth.org/1.8/You can download the latest version (Alpha-2) from here. Then just take out the contained folder (The_High_Seas) and put it in wesnoth'sI definitely second the request for an upload, but I'd also like to see a dedicated PVP map,data/add-onsdirectory. You can even play it online with other people if you host (no need for them to download it independently).
There is still some more work to be done before it can play other maps. And some features need to be redesigned for PvP, especially boarding. I am currently working on improving these aspects, so they should be better in the next alpha version.
also of note, EP's HSE features ship sinking so they don't go boom immediately, so you can escape from a doomed ship- if you're fast enough. of course if there's only deep water around, you'll still drownA possible explanation is the gunpowder magazine (or boiler) is set off and the explosion kills the crew... I will have to give it a think.
Interesting choice. I tend to gravitate towards footpads, thieves and fencers since they are such fast boarders that they can take advantageous positions on the enemy deck during the first turn of an engagement. But yeah, adding a lot more crew options is on the To Do list.
I don't have 1.8 right now, and it's not on steam, so I unfortunately can't provide pictures in reference to these features
also, I will admit, I'm a rebel player most of the time- a little more variety for crew and captains would be very nice
seeing the mention of whatsit ancients, that campaign actually has some pretty nice ship graphics- it's a big change, but it might be kinda neat to actually have those graphics ingame- although they have a fixed size, meaning smaller or larger ships would need to be the old style or have new graphics made
I probably meant to send this message several years ago, but ADHD can be very helpful sometimes
it's been a long two years
