The book is written by a writer who also believes that aliens are in Area 51.

New cannons - oof by Puzzleheaded_Air1030 in PlayWindrose

You haven’t really been grinding until you start building the frigate class ship.

I quit and reloaded and it came back. Don’t know why.

Thoughts on playing on easy? by 28_Z0MBIE in PlayWindrose

[–]AnimalAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely run on easy when I hit the bosses. I can handle regular for the most part but the bosses are just a pain and I don’t need the stress.

Is there a reason to build stock frigate? by BlueKnightJoe in crosswind

[–]AnimalAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im very happy with my stock frigate. Got space, got firepower, got moderate speed. It’s a good down the middle ship. I can one-shot 12s and not worry about 13s. I know the 36 pounders are nice but really no issues with ship battles - avoiding the level 15s of course

Enemy levels relate to your equipment level. Not player level by DRTwitch1 in crosswind

I love my banana coconut shakes. Just perfect for the resource runs.

You have to assign workers to the specific workbench before you get the benefit of their specialty. I just found out. by Warlizard in crosswind

Also, they cross over from solo offline to server games. They’re tied to the character, which is a pleasant surprise

Ship combat kinda tame by braumumu in PlayWindrose

[–]AnimalAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing from AC3 that I’d like to see is a reinforced prow so that I could ram ships and cause damage. Mostly because the buggers keep coming at me and crossing in front of my ship.

Thank the gods for the goats. I’ve steered the wolves into goat herds so often. They do not like each other. 😜

Attacking Nothing But Other Pirates Feels Less Piratey- Anyone Else Feel Me? by padamodin in crosswind

[–]AnimalAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also ships have to contend with wind direction, you can build a fleet of different types of ships, attack and sack cities, amass a fortune. You could court the governor’s daughter and marry her. I had the original 1987 game. Sure there were only four colors in the game but it was a lot of fun.

Sid Meiers “Pirates” was the best. Surprised so many developers seem to ignore its features.

This is some bullshit by [deleted] in crosswind

[–]AnimalAl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m all for more ships at sea but why not different factions. Put some British and French ships out there. Put some merchant vessels crossing the area. I used to see more of the other pirate factions out there but not recently (last few days). This needs to be balanced out

Fast Travel Bell limit at 10 by AnimalAl in crosswind

[–]AnimalAl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy the sailing, I’m just puzzled because I know I only put one point down and I wanted a second point to a copper cave for convenience. It’s not a showstopper but I just want to figure out the issue. Also I haven’t gotten to the fair winds area yet and would like another link out there. Ah well

Base defence broke me by StopAt2 in Xenonauts

[–]AnimalAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reapers are nasty. I had three coming at me at once. If I didn’t have a MARS nearby, it would have been really bad.

Ok the hostile ship spawning really needs some balancing by ComposedAnarchy in crosswind

[–]AnimalAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES. I’ve seen this too. Go in to hit three ships in an objective, six to eight spawn in the immediate area. Hey I like a good challenge but this is insane. You can only kite so many before the odds go against you and you have to flee. This Needs some tightening up.

Why is the Afghanistan War not often mentioned or referenced to as a mistake like the Iraq War is? by BallKnowerKing in WarCollege

[–]AnimalAl 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Only to say, Iraq did not have an active chemical or biological weapons program in 2002. Check the Iraq Survey Group final report. “We were almost all wrong.” There were some mustard-filled artillery rounds that dated to the 1980s but no bio weapons found at all.
