hi starstruck,

everybody can restart his contest game everytime!

All saves from your first game will be deleted, if you send a new save from 1300.

The only condition is, that you have to send your last save for the Contest before 2008-01-01 0 EST.

Oh ... my mistake. I had thought that once you submitted the save was fixed.

I was going to ask how Vielitz went ... I guess someone else can answer! Sorry to hear you missed your trip.

I'm in Oxford now, so about an hour + half from London. I'll be working full time in October (and you didn't arrange a convenient weekend), but if you're interested I can see closer to the date if I can maybe get a day out.

Hi Starstruck,

this is the wrong thread, I know, but the answer to your question, and I could not find any better.

Hansetag in Vielitz was very good, well organised and smooth (small wonder: Vielitz is in Prussia, and Hopsing was in charge ).

Friday: Arrival at Vielitz; barbecue, meet the Hanseatic League.

Saturday we enjoyed a boat trip (lake Gudelack, beautiful); I brought a Jolly Roger, no enemy ships were taken, though (only snaikkas, not worth the effort). All travellers disembarked safely.

Lunch at restaurant "Seeperle" (pearl of the lake); close-by fishing hut supplied me with fresh pike-perch.

Back to the salt-mines: I wanted to learn about pirates and building; and I found what I desired. Frank, Ugh!, and Gesil, only to mention a few, were very patient and kind.

Needless to say, I did not get much sleep. Comfy hammock, though .

Weather was fine all the time.

I'd like to announce the following: The members of this convention decided: From now on, pending further notice, Hansetag will take place every third week-end in August.

The rest is easily told:

.

Sunday:

Best regards,

Charlotte

PS: photos - yep. I hope Hopsing will see to that soon.

@Charlotte
Thankyou! Sounds good .

So, does Ugh! answer to "Ugh!" in person?

Two questions for all:
1. How are Wasa / Ugh etc. (possibly many others) completing so many Aldermann pirate missions?

The only way I've worked out to do them is a bit annoying:
Trigger a pirate (pirate or escort or patrol mission)
Fight and flee
Go to the Aldermann office and take a mission, s/loading until getting the one with the right name.
Fight again and capture/kill the pirate.

I haven't been able to get the pirate names matching if I accept a mission before the pirate is "on the board" - which means this process needs two fights instead of one, and occasionally the pirate can't be refought and sails away. Is there a simpler way?

2. Is there any benefit to doing more than three Aldermann pirate missions?

@ Starstruck

I will answer, but only in german:

Du nimmst einen Piratenjägerauftrag an. Wenn du im Enterkampf bist, verläßt du den Kampfmodus ( Unternehmensübersicht -> Warenbestand -> Pfeil links unten ), gehst ins Eldermannbüro. Dort ist einer der Piratenaufträge mit Sicherheit der aktuell bekämpfte Pirat. Wenn der Pirat besiegt ist, wird ein neuer Auftrag generiert. Also schon den nächsten Jäger zu dem Ort schicken, warten bis die Anerkennung für den vorherigen EM-Auftrag erscheint. Dann den nächsten Enterkampf beginnen, and so on.

In my opinion, there isn't any benefit, it's just for fun.

Gruss Wasa

@ bizpro

Die englisch-sprachige Version scheint ja einige Eigenarten zu haben ( z.B. auch MM-Verträge ). Nachdem man auf die oben beschriebene Weise den Kampfmodus verläßt, ist nur ärgerlich, dass sich das Bild auflöst und man erst in eine Stadt klicken muß, um diesen Fehler wieder zu beheben.

PS: Sorry, dass ich in deutsch antworte, aber Englisch lesen und verstehen fällt mir doch um einiges leichter, als mich in Englisch auszudrücken.

Gruss Wasa

I think I had four 2nd walls and two 3rd walls on my first run through of 1301 (that controversial save )

It never occurred to me to try taking the AM mission while the AI was fighting . Good idea. Failing that the method I outlines works fine; I used it at least four times (2 or 3 on first runthrough, twice on the latest one - I killed a pirate nest for my third mission). But opening Ugh's save and seeing the whole string of them ... !

BTW, I usually just run a well armed crayer for all missions unless I know I'm getting a hulk - and still then if I don't have an armed cog handy. In 1300 my 31-sailor crayers win against crayers on autosave, and if attacked by a hulk I fight manually and end up with a 20-30 life hulk. Good for expanding shipyards )

Yes, he does. "Ugh is an onomatopoeic representation of an aspirated sigh or gasp, used as an interjection to express repugnance, annoyance, aggravation, irritation, disgust, boredom or horror", missing the exclamation mark.

"How are Wasa / Ugh etc. (possibly many others) completing so many Aldermann pirate missions?"

Sorry, I can't answer that question - I'm still busy analysing saves.

I have now submitted my rerun 1300 save.
Which leads me to ask - is my old 1301 save (the one with 26.5% rich and 37.8% wealthy) of value to anyone? It won't now be submitted & posted in the normal course of things - and is likely to be surpassed - but it seemed to intest people ...

Any suggestions?
