the game looks very good but its very confusing, I sailed on land an get stuck in the sea :S. I didnt get to the second flag because I get stuck there. I had the same when played a gamemaker 3D game at an other computer, the collision totally changed, so it could be my pc. its cool you can do missions and have to sail around Europe for it, but an arrow pointed at the destination would be handy. there are allot of cool thing I couldnt do. if I'm the only1 with the collision problem you get an 8.5= 9/10, (how can I get the vieuw like your screenshot?)

The screens look amazing, but I have dial-up so 44mb is way to big for me.

Awesome. I haven't played for long, but I wonder if there are any sea monsters, if not it's still awesome.

Dude...shrink that file down...

This is unbelievably big. Since I'm not going to bother downloading it, my only suggestion is majorly cut down memory...

I'm sure you could do it if you edited music...looks good though...

->CG: I did edit the music. That's how I cut the size as far as I did.
->BP: A* Pathfinding will do that for you. However, after the first couple of checks, it generally runs faster.

OMG AMAZING But it lagged a bit. 9/10

i havnt dl'd but if u are not loading externally i suggest you do. That will be the primary cause of lag.
6 mbs or bigger will cause lag.

Of course I use external loading - on the order of 168 total files in the directory.

Stop crying, 44mb is nothing god damn it. I download files on 1gb or larger every day. To the game: It was great. The graphics was stunning, except when the world map got zoomed in. It got kind of blurry, but that's not a big problem, and the lack of a tutorial or a helper made some parts complicated. I had no idea of how to attack or handle the trading, the font used is to annoying to read, I'm afraid. But, it's stocked with content, great graphics and when you get the hang of it, it's one of the best freeware game's I've ever played.
