Recent patch bug fixed.. game is more playable now, despite the occurance of lag after a couple battles.

Until achievements are introduced to this game, I will have to down vote it because the communists promised achievements since last year and have not kept their promise..



Edit:

1) Tutorial messages are too fast for reading.. not even nerds can read that fast.

2) My 5th rate can handle 45 crew upon boarding.. yet I never saw more than 32 on any boarding session.. not to mention when i battle vs. a 150 crew cutter (yes, a pieace of crap cutter).. the cutter somehow can spawn the entire 150 in the session but i'm only allowed 32? Get real commies...

3) Frequent crashing such as "hash vector", and many more weird type crashes

4) During sea siege assaults, player starts trumpling like a horse on deck, and all other party members stutter in movement

5) Text typo mistake when promoted to 4th rank.. instead of saying "can use 36lb cannon"... it says "16lb cannon"

6) On rate ships during boarding.. ladder is kind of messed up and you must jump to continue your way up

7) Graphic issues during sea siege assault if leading assault before bombarding first

8) Renown and XP gained for missions are too much.. making it too easy to rank, especially in the artillery quest. 50 renown per friendly character mission also is a little too much.

9) Player item availability from the very start.. would have been nicer to anticipate the more advanced armor and weapons rather than have them available from the first week.

10) During nighttime battles.. the sky is glowing bright yet the ground and everything in it is very dark.. is tough fighting battle especially with those native monkeys jumping around you

Mount & Blade: Warband + Age of Pirates = Awesome.

Menus are violently ugly.

SnowBird Games copy pasted Warband and Sid Meier's Pirates!

10/10 will buy another bootleged Warband game again.

Oh yeah and no one plays the Multiplayer

An extremely good game. The Mount & Blade engine has been significantly improved making it feel as if I were playing a Mount & Blade: Warband 2. The only downside is the poor optimisation. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz processor, an out of date Radeon HD 5400 and 4GB of RAM, so I am forced to play with 800 x 600 resolution, reaching a maximum of 30 fps.

Other than the poor optimisation it is a very good game and significantly more entertaining that Mount & Blade: Warband. Highly recommend this game.

best game EVER

I love the mount & blade series but this just dosnt cut it.... It got alot of bugs and unbalance to it, and the tutorial is non excisting. Spent 5 hours fooling around and i already got the biggest ship because i got a quest from day 2 that gave me 100k.... Also your supose to command your army but most times that menu never shows up.
Iwe been doing a quest now where i am supose to guard artillery from 4 waves of attackers but its just impossible to finish because all my men run off straight against them as soon as the battle starts and you have no way to stop them. I should have read the negative reviews and listened to them, but as i said i do love the M&B series so iwe been struggling to stay in the game to actually see what people where talking about. But i just cant see it.... Even ship battle is so bad youll pull your hair out, if you get a landwalk all your guys and theirs will rush to it so youll not get past. If you dare to jump across to the other ship your crew will most likely die and youll have 3-5 enemies swarming you and practically just running at you swinging like crazy so youll probably end up dead in no time. Sea battles dosnt require any skills at all since cannons basicly got auto aim (button gives you a hint when to fire). Im hoping my steam refund will go thru but since im in 5 hours gametime i can only hope.... Save the money and wait for M&B2 instead.

Cant play the game. Any time i boot up my save all i see is a black screen. I thought something like this would be fixed or atleast have some sort of technique to fix. But anything i try doesn't work. I have a decent rig.

Wonderful game and a great merger of Mount & Blade style warfare with a pirates setting. Tons of fun quests to do, like bodyguard missions, exploring lost temples, burning shipyards, conquoring mines, etc. And naval boarding actions are great fun.

Highly recomend this game. The developers have already patched it into a good state, and they continue to work hard to eliminate the smaller remaining issues. And they even just released a free DLC with lots of new content.

great love it
