Hi,
I also have some questions about ships...
I just tried (with cheating, so I can try all options) to sail and fight on sea.
Sea battles work just great, with some little boat clipping without dire consequences (except that it's sometimes a bit hard getting on the other ship). My main question is, how can you fit your whole army on a ship?
Renting a ship works well (except for a bug when I Ctrl-clicked near some dena pirates to fight, I couldn't move anymore... But then you just have to play without cheating, right?).
Buying a ship doesn't work: I had an army of 234 men. I saw, max capacity of a ship is 90 (a most reasonable number, in my opinion). So I need 3 ships to fit everyone in.
First, I bought one ship. As expected, I get an error message, whatever crew I put on it, that no, I can't board.
Next, I bought two more ships. I crammed about 80 men in two of then, 30 in the third, and kept 45 men in my party. I can send all three ships to whatever port I want, perfect.
But. I can only board one ship (the one that is not full (no problem with that), and I cannot get the other ships to follow me. This means that short of renting a ship for 60 schillingas per hour, even if you already own a whole fleet, you cannot sail with your full army around you. I find it a bit sad. I completely understand that it is surely very difficult to implement, but if there is a way to put your whole army in ships you own, that would be nice. This "bug" kills a bit the advantage of buying ships, in my opinion.
Also, I think that by the time you can throw 25k by the window for buying a ship, you already have more than 90 men, so... Perhaps lowering a bit the price (around 10k, perhaps) would be better?
Next section: the bugs.
- Alt clut has no port, although it is near the coast and has the "coastal town" icon on the map?
- Caer Liguaid, Aileach, Duin Foither and Bebbanburh are too far of the coast, and you cannot "disembark at port" when near. Disembard here and send ship to port works, though. In the case of Duin Foither and Bebbanburh, though, I couldn't even land, and M&B freezed (perhaps due to the weird shape of the coast at this point?)
- Aileach and Bebbanburh have a weird bug that makes you unable to board at these towns: the ship just disappears, and goes back to the town when you leave (you can still see it in the ship list and ship management, and send it to other towns).
That's all the bugs I found.
On a side note, when you send a ship to a town, it travels instantly. It would be better (yes, I'm a masochist) to actually send him here, so that it can be attacked by some dena pirates on the way. Just an idea, I am pretty sure it would be very difficult to implement, so i'm not asking you to do that (especially with only one release to go).
Anyway, nice job, even if I point to every little details off... I really love this mod.
