Fellow swashbucklers, We’ve released a big update for the free prologue which brings a lot of fixes and improvements over from version 1.0.07 of the full game. There are too many changes to list here, so we’ll highlight some of the most notable ones. [b]Buccaneers! The New Age of Piracy (Prologue) Version 1.0.02[/b] [b]Changes[/b] - You can now change the default orders of each ship in your fleet via the Fleet Status page in the Captain’s Log. - Improved ship AI to make them better at boarding and ensuring their captured prizes have enough crew. - AI ships will now attempt to put out fires over time as long as they haven’t been hit recently. - Ship health bars now use colours for the name banner (blue for allies, red for enemies), and your allied ships show their current orders next to it. - The armour points on ships and forts are now displayed with a number on a single icon (instead of showing one icon per point) in ship battles. - Added an hourglass icon to represent “temporary” ships added to your fleet as part of a quest. - Fort cannon sound effects are now louder and can be heard from further away, making them consistent with ship cannons. - Disabled the land-facing gun battery on Clarence Town’s fort and added a standalone battery on the other side of the harbour to compensate. - Fixed ship and fort stats not being reset correctly when restarting battles. - Fixed AI ships struggling to hit forts. - Updates and fixes for Russian and Simplified Chinese translations. - Fixed several issues with menu items not selecting properly when using a controller. - An on-screen keyboard now appears when selecting a text input field with a controller. (Please note: This only works in Steam Big Picture mode.) - [VR] Added a “Ship’s Wheel Offset” to Options > Controls to allow you to move your playspace closer to or further away from the helm when sailing. Happy pirating! 🏴‍☠️
