Oh man, I remember trying for hours to get this mod working as a kid 15 years ago. I spent my childhood on this game.
Came across your video from a forum post - glad I watched the whole thing
I remember getting this game pretty much when it first came out and was so happy when I found the mod.
Excellent video, left me laughing in a lot of places!
Good that you found this video entertaining! Hopefully you enjoy our future videos as well. Did you come from the Pirates Ahoy Forum?
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich from the Pirates Ahoy forum, yeah. Every so often I check it to see if maybe a new game like this exists, and you were up there on the first page.
@@harrylewish Nice! Yeah I was surprised they made a post for my video, I need to thank them again for doing that.
damn what a great, humorous and entertaining video. The production was also top notch I can't believe you have less than 1k Utube subs. Was thinking about POTC and if the build mod was still a thing and that brought me here I loved this game 20 years ago and think it's about time to give it another whirl.
Hopefully you enjoy the game, it can be a bit difficult but it's one hell of a great mod.
Long yet wonderful video!
This game is just insane fun, even more so when you realize how certain stuff works with new horizons.
I once managed to get the cannon and building off that workshop Speightstown, using the thief's knife. That's been fixed these days though, and it may have actually been done because of me. It's so hilarious to have that cannon on you, and it deals a bloody lot of damage! Not to mention it doesn't even take ammunition, rather it just fired.
Maybe that is not doable these days, or at least without sourcing an old version of the build mod, (I don't even remember how old you need to go though) but what doesn't require finding an old version, is abusing the raids that sometimes spawn when talking to structure-people, just like the workshop on Speightstown. Talk to Gregor Samsa, so that he shows his wares, just in case he gets killed in one of the raids, and then talk to the workshop until a raid spawns. Kill the enemies, get the loot from them, and go to another area of the island. Go back and you'll be able to spawn another raid, and the circle continues.....
Yes, I did fix it because of you.
't Was never *meant* to be lootable.
CouchaptainCharles tried to prevent it right at the start.
But it didn't work no more...
Of course with console you can bypass whatever fix.
I would get it if it was real life Caribbean locations...not interested in pirates in made up world
Amazing review to one of my most favorite games off all time, every year I get a fix to play it again ever since it was released.
Oh, and you also forgot to mention the objectively best feature of the mod: to-the-day historically accurate moon phases. If you see a full moon one particular in-game day, that means the mun really was full on that date on the caribbean in the real world.
Wow... from a DnD DM and writer that obsess in this kind of stuff that's fucking cool.
In all fairness, I'm not convinced PotC:NH can claim full astronomical accuracy.
Though perhaps City of Abandoned Ships *really* could!
I remember Seaward.Ru working on just that.
Not sure how you don't have more subs, very underrated. This video was amazing start to finish.
Hey man glad you liked it!
Well we have been getting more subs lately to our surprise lmao.
Oh I don’t know what to say. What an incredible Video. During that, I’ve laughed so hard my dog totally freaked out.
This video was a journey for my lungs man. Thank you really much for the effort you put in there. I really loved this game when I was younger
Glad you liked it!
I get a lot of people saying they enjoyed this game when they were younger, wish I found it that early!
Hopefully we'll get another great video out soon. I just need to stop playing Baldur's Gate 3 lmao.
Alright so this was long, but definitely worth it. Thank you very much for making this video.
I really enjoyed it, especially appreciate that both the stock game and New Horizons. I really liked seeing someone else experiencing the game for the first time. (Smuggling really is awesome. I remember getting a Corvette by smuggling with my Lugger.)
Also a quite informative video with the historical details about the ship types.
Would pirate again. 🍻
Going to write up a post for the PA! social thingies. See if we can get more attention to you.
Thanks man!
Don't tell anyone, but most of the time 'making' this video was just me wasting time reading entire source books because I'm a huge nerd.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich A pirate must know their potential enemies, so good job!
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich You did AMAZINGLY well making it both fun *and* educational!
Exactly what I'd hope the game and our community could be.
So thank you for making my hopes there a reality! 😎
Now I want to mod the actual Captain Vallo into the game. There are some suitably shirtless character models that could do the trick
Great review!! Definitely gave me a few laughs! lol the mod is fantastic. Only point is that I'm pretty sure you do get experience as a trader. But you have to actually make a profit and specifically from buying and then selling. I definitely remember getting a lot of experience from good deals.
Well. there's another guy who makes the exact type of content I enjoy about a game from my youth.
The former seaman in me (that does NOT sound right) really enjoyed how you went into detail about sailing vessels of old.
Also that guy at 19:37 who you let get MURDERED in cold blood was my second Runescape character from back in 2005... Artois Voysey... how dare you.
(Excellent stuff buddy, looking forward to more! just snatched the New Horzions mod for a playthrough when I get the time)
Glad you liked it man, hope you enjoy the mod. It can get a bit challenging with the vanilla settings but it's highly customizable!
Also lol seaman.
Only 3 minutes in and I'm already laughing a ton! This deserves way more views :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
ok i admit i havent watched more than 30 seconds yet but when i find a new long form video game shitposter my life gets that much better so i have subscribed. thanks for your service.
Thanks man, hope you enjoy the video and I hope it doesn't get too boring in certain parts.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich thanks dude ended up watching it last night and it was great.
Have you tried the NH-added DiretSail function? It allows you to sail from island to island entirely within what you call 3D mode, completely forgoing the 2D mode (worldmap).
It works best if you also enable Open Sea Mode in InternalSettings (by default it is only enabled in Ironman Mode, but using directsail without it is a worse experience imo; enabling it also stops the game from advancing a day every in-game hour on the clock, so coastal navigation takes less in-game time). Disable worldmap acces there in the neighbouring line too to prevent temptation, play in Realistic mode (ironamn too much for me), and suddenly you have to approach many more elements in fresh ways:
-Until you get bith a chronometer (advanced clock) and a sextant, you won’t know your ship’s position while at sea. So it’s best to plan routes with more intermedieate stops just in case you get lost while at sea.
-Encounters with other ships will happen without you able to exit/enter worldmap, but they will always spawn on the horizon, so the encounter will either happen or be avoided much more organically, with windspeed mattering a whole lot, and you able to change your flag before they can see it if you want. Set the in-game setting for directsail info to “strange sail on the horizon” only and you’ll have to rely on your telescope and your own eyesight to recognise the ships’ nationality sooner rather than too late.
-You never get dropped in the middle of a hostile fort, but also you now have to get in range, and their range is longer than yours.
- Long journeys where the wind is going directly against you will require you to either wait ‘til it turns or, do it in perpendicular components.
I remember seeing it in the forums a while back. I will have to try this, thanks for the information!
A warm best wishes from the many members of the Merchants Guild.
A fellow man of culture.
Going back and watching this and seeing the name Doodoo, the destroyer. Yeah he would conquer all land I agree.
A very strong name. Filled with Gravitas and doodoo.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich lol 😆
Love the base game and played it for so many hours as a teen. Saw it on a flea market some month ago and saw the mod and it was everything i dreamed of as a teen.
It's always a trip going back to an old game after many years lol.
First time watching anything sea dogs related:
"Make sail!"
Me:"aye aye🫡"
After five hours:
"Ccccccccan I go aboard sir"
😢
This was my favourite game , when I was 12-13 , cant count how many playtroughs i had
i got so addicted to potc recently and your review was godsend. keep up the good work. any chance you'll be playin it again on video?
Glad that you liked it!
We try to stay clear of gameplay videos since honestly I don't think we have the time to edit them nor are we that funni at it.
Maybe we'll release gameplay videos in the future as unlisted videos for free in our patreon just so we don't clutter the channel.
Good job :)
Very good and funny editing
Defo deserve more subs.
Thanks man, hope you enjoyed the video!
Man I cant wait to watch this hour long review... Said no one ever
Big if true
I loved this game and mod so much its been years since ive played either. Need to find a way to get a copy to play again.
try playing it with ironman mode on. You sail directly on the ocean so no map mode like normal and you ned to use the compass and sextan to know your place on the map else its using just the compass to plan your direction oh and you can speed up so no need to just sail slowly unless you like that
Oh my god it's me on the right at 1:42, what a cameo
Get doxxed nerd.
Was originally going to be named Sea Dogs 2 but because of the movie it was renamed Pirates Of The caribbean
Regarding the exploit of using the hotkey to equip another gun fully-loaded mid-combat: you only really need two guns for that; equipping a new gun will have it fully-loaded.
There is a variable in internalsettings meant to change that, so that guns are unloaded when equipped, but unfortunately right now it has the unintended side effect of also unloading your gun whenever you change zones, so yikes, that's useless for boarding.
Something else regarding officers you didn't mention: unlike in the base game, in NH you can choose their role, and depending on that they can contribute some of their skills or perks! Their contributing perks act as if you (or the captain of the ship they are assigned to) have them, and their contributing skills' values supercede your own if they are higher than yours (green skills, full contributions) or more than double (gold skills, half contributions). This was entirely absent in the base game IIRC; outside of melee combat perks, the only NPC perks that had any effect where the sailing/shooting ones had by ship captains.
Yo. Great video. Why nobody watch it
I remember drawing skull from the SeaDogs boxcover and truyng to fugue out what different cannons do. Cus I was to small to understand
just found this game under a shelf in a small store, childhood PTSD kicked in and i bought it for 1 euro. im going to actually play the story now! instead of robbing loansharks :)
bro just never stop making videos. your content, style of edit, humor, those silly drawn pictures, the memes. Everything on point and very entertaining. You'll grow your channel to a million subs if you ride the algorithm right and never stop making videos. All the best to you and thanks for the content 👍👍👍👍
Hey thanks man appreciate the kind words. Hope you enjoy our future videos!
Also yes I love drawing those silly pictures.
When you introduce the ship types, particularly in 24:30 What game footage did you use? Thank you
I used footage from Total War: Empire. Specifically, with the Darthmod Empire mod which you can get from ModDB.
-Anzei
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich ah
Appreciate the answer.
Thank you.
Your Videos are really funny
How do you change the music in certain areas? I want to change the music in the Incan Temple Alcove back to the Coridor track.
Oh, I don't know how to. Never did it myself. I think you'll have better luck checking their forum or discord server.
Lold from epic end.
29:03 Based Kancolle enjoyer.
Love me ship girls
Love me abyssal girls
Love me Haguro
Simple as.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich Immeasurably based. (Haruna enjoyer, myself. Roma and Houshou are also really good girls.)
@@peepsbates My brother from another mother (Mama Houshou) you dropped your crown King.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich 🤝
4:40 fun fact, I went to that school, don't know who that is BTW.
oh nice, dunno who he is either.
You sound pinoy. I've spent countless hours playing this mod back in my college days. The immersion of direct sail is incredible, sadly nowadays I don't have the time to spend all those hours just watching a ship sail.
I could tell you enjoyed making this video lol
Thanks man, I did. I spent way too much time just reading stuff from the sources I found lmao. -Anzei
you can buy is... STEAM is the name, and Sea Dogs is the game. city of abandoned ships/caribean tales/to each his own... but oh well. new horizons is something else... at least i love the 60 turn ratio ship of the line from the final main story part. it turns around like a freaking frigate with battle sails, sometimes even looking as if it is about to capsize from oversteering
happy you used Empire: Total War clips
Gotta keep the historical total war dream alive
hey bossman love the vid, just one quick request - can you enable the automatic subtitles on the video? i want to watch this with my boyfriend but he's hearing impaired and can't watch it otherwise, and i really want to show all your vids to him
thank you in torpedo missiles
Sure, I enabled subtitles on all the review videos. Will do so with the other videos after I get my morning coffee. Hopefully I did it right.
-Anzei
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich Oh yeah it works just fine now in all it's machine speech-to-text automated glory, thank you very much!
@@AdaChanDesu Nice, hope ya guys enjoy the video!
can you make a review of UBOAT, it's kinda like silent hunter 3 but has more in-depth crew management
I gotchu fam
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich salamat men
I’m pretty sure you can board the french battleship guarding oxboy in the base game. I think I did it once. You might just have gotten a bad approach angle.
Oh fugg really? Thank god I still haven't deleted the video files. I got the "Master of Boarding" skill at the first half hour of the game so speed and angle doesn't matter. Unless it did in that particular part of the mission? I don't know, and tbh I can't be arsed to uninstall the NH mod and check again lol.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich From memory I think you can't board them. I also tried to do it, see if I could make a profit on the side, but it wouldn't let me board them. Mind you this was a long time ago so perhaps @Mr. Mister is right.
@@michaelmichael2915 It's possible you guys are right and I instead boarded a completely unrelated random-encounter French battleship.
1:00:49 A MAN OF CULTURE
How hard is this game? Im planning on getting it or trying MP
It can be pretty hard but highly customizable if you dive into the settings notepad file.
For vanilla it can be unforgiving since your first ship you try to fight can be the whole Spanish Armada due to RNG lol.
Also what MP?
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich the game has a community that opened a multiplayer server for it, and it looks to be thriving. I thought you knew about it nvm. Anyways, you said its harsh, as in hand-to-hand battles or the battles in the sea?
@@blazephamous7425 Mostly the battle in the sea can be a bit challenging. The hand-to-hand battles are fine even if you don't exploit the AI.
Also, can you point me to the multiplayer server you're talking about? Did they add multiplayer in New Horizon or is it a different game entirely?
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich well a community opened up a multiplayer, its just regular multipayer i think, i have to xheck again
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich yeah it's a regular multiplayer, theres even a site about it
It's really fitting that to play a pirate game you have to pirate it lmao
As the lord intended.
This shit gud. Make more nerdy stuff like this
We'll try our best
"Gov'nor! I've killed the French... All of them" got me laughing so hard! :'D
The mod makes my game go from 60fps to 25fps, also reducing texture quality doesn't seem to help and menus scale with it and look very blurry. I was expecting a bit more polish from something that apparently took 17yrs to make.
I can't really help you with that since I was having stutters when playing the game as well. Also there were times where I was dipping to 25-30 fps as well.
FPS issues can be a number of things, from bottlenecks to drivers to windows updates. Maybe it's because the mod's pushing the game's engine to its absolute limit or maybe this old game just doesn't like being run in a modern rig. I've seen both in other old games.
Good thing I got used to playing at 2 FPS with Arma 3 so anything above that is smooth for lmao.
Well, we have 2 people (including me) and a one bot in the comments already :P
Don't worry, the state controlled comment section has already pacified the bot. -Anzei
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich Most excellent.
28:47
May I know what game it is please
The game's called Zero Hour. Ya can buy it in steam.
-Anzei
ah yes, the base game is so bugged that you can easily get man of war after prologue despite the fact you shouldn't be able to get it before final mission
25:30 no, there are much
much
MUUUUUUUUUUUCH
easier ways to make money
exactly 2
first way: go to tawern and search for a guy who wants to join your party, ask him how much money he want to be paid for him to join you, ask him if he can lower the price, then decline, and repeat whole conversation until the guy you want to hire will agree to pay you as much as you want for working with you in your party
second way: in every town is a bank, you can't fast travel to it but don't worry, you can find it and in a bank you can ask for some money, take as much as you can, then in this bank is a chest where you can put stuff, so put all your money, then talk to the banker and ask him for money again, don't worry, he'll agree as long as long you don't have any money in your pockets. Repeat. After you are satisfied with all the money you got, make sure he don't want his money back, take all the money you have legally earned this way from the chest and there you go, you are rich now. This don't work in redmond cuz you can't access the chest in bank in redmond.
didn't know this still works in the mod XD
Oh I know about these two money making methods lol.
Sadly the first one doesn't work in the mod, but yes the second one does. I held off the bank trick till the end of the vanilla campaign because I thought the game would send annoying guys after me since one of the loading screen tips suggests so. Turns out the game just doesn't do anything about it, or if it did I didn't notice.
Oh, and you (and your quartermaster(s)) actually DO gain experience from trading. Don't know why you didn't or thought you didn't; maybe it's specifically tied to enabling auto-slotted skill progress?
Actually, that may be the case. I personally don't like that kind of skill progression and am more of a fan of placing skill points where I want it to be. And that's coming from a Morrowind fan lol.
game at 0:24?
Summer~Life in the Countryside~
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich thanks.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich thx
Well done men. Great video. Have you ever try the gentleman of fortune mod. I have it and it’s sea dogs but with improvements
Oh nice, I looked into it and it looks pretty interesting. Maybe I'll give it a go!
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich of course men it’s a every interesting mod
Why is the comment section a desert over here ?
i ruined the 300 likes
still,after so many years the game is still buggy as hell,lots of crashes...double save often,cause bad saves happen...and one can get stuck in gameplay(like with virgil boone,and escaping to fight him on sea)and dont fight with or against a 2 large of a fleet,cause it moight crash half way,and u loose all that time(saving isnt possible in sea combat....best rpg ever with the worst designed engine..in cozumel temple there is a secret room with pictures of the developers..
Yeah, corrupt save files were pretty common when I played it. I got so paranoid that every time I saved the game I would make two save files.
nice video .
I remember there also being a loanshark exploit where you take out the maximum amount of gold, store it in the chest in the loanshark's office. If you speak to him when you have zero gold he lets you take out the maximum loan again. If you keep doing this then you don't need to do any delivery missions to earn gold and you can buy the best ship in the game right away. :'D
:'D Just seen nearer the end of the video that you cover this. Love this video! Hahaha! So much nostalgia!
:'D Hahaha! Ahhhh! Your attack on the Spanish! :'D Best thing I've seen on yt in a long time! :'D
is it just me or ship battles in the mod arew ABSOLUTELY unplayable?
The ships sail at speed 1 cm per hour aka 1/10 of a bigmac per hour as you say....
i have to 20x to actually see the ships drag their ass across the open sea. It literally sucks the immersion out of the game. Is it just some stupid setting in my game or mod is made by a masochist/autist?
Yeah, ship combat can be as slow as molasses so I often play it with the game sped up and then just slow it down when I'm about to shoot.
The game is very slow, especially when you start off with small ships.
Also, all simulation games are made by masochists/autists. That's why we love em.
