You know I have delt with mods before Xcom, Jagged alliance 2 or Civ 4. I am sure GOF is awesome. The thought of a 3D piratesI can't recommend it because I can't get it started but I also believe had me really excited but it has been quite awhile and still I cant sem to get the game up and going. I am sure it is something small and I'm sure if I was willing to put more then 4 days into maybe I'd figure out but am not. I also figure I'm probably not the only one having problems with GOF. I don't consider myself that unique. I a visual learner and I guess I really do need a video. It seems to me we're running in circles. really appreciate you trying to help me figure this out but I have to consider the ROI in time. I have even had other family members tried to understand the directions to no avail. It is time for me to consider this a wash and a waste in both money and time which is is sad but I have games in my library and 20 GIGS is a lot of space to go to waste and there are more deserving games that don't take this much effort to get up and going. If you ever do I video let me know but otherwise I'm moving on. Thanks again for taking the time.
