What is the most balanced level of difficulty?

¿Qué dificultad es la más equilibrada?

Me gustaría comenzar un nuevo juego en la dificultad más equilibrada. En mi juego inicial selecciono la dificultad marinero, pero gano tanto dinero que pierdo interés. En mi segundo juego comencé con Admiral y estoy totalmente abrumado por la dificultad tanto en la esgrima como en las batallas de barcos.

Bueno, llegado a este punto, me gustaría resumir mi experiencia personal. Hace años comencé a jugar Age of Pirates y, como la mayoría de los jugadores realmente interesados, he dado el siguiente paso tratando de encontrar un mod global estable, jugable y realista. Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de las modificaciones globales están rotas de alguna manera, ya sea por falta de estabilidad, fallas, fallas, fallas en el escritorio, falta de texturas... En pocas palabras, después de pasar horas tratando de encontrar la última modificación, se interrumpe la progresión y se obliga a comenzar una nueva. juego cuyo destino volverá a ser el mismo.

Hoy y después de tantos años retomando el juego, he decidido darle una oportunidad a Eras II, del que ya puedo decir que es el único mod de conversión total que realmente funciona sin problemas, sin salir del escritorio, sin errores graves que romper su progresión. Por fin puedo disfrutar de este juego con las mejores opciones, al menos las que se ajustan a mi concepto de cómo debería haber sido Age of Pirates II. El nivel de detalle de las naves, la variedad de personajes y la cantidad de objetos son magníficos. Las modificaciones añadidas y los problemas resueltos han convertido este juego en una verdadera joya para disfrutar. Por supuesto, nada es perfecto y es imposible complacer a todos, pero repito, finalmente puedo disfrutar de una revisión hermosa y completa del mod.

Estoy disfrutando tanto de este mod, que he decidido actualizar y terminar la traducción al español. En realidad es un archivo de traducción que encontré en la red, pero estaba incompleto, desactualizado y con algunos errores. Ahora la traducción al español ya cubre todos los aspectos del juego, tanto en los menús como en las misiones. Si alguien está interesado podría subirlo para compartir.

Y por último, también he sustituido el archivo officer.c por uno que encontré en la red. Necesitaba ajustar el nivel de lealtad de los oficiales, pero hasta ahora no he tenido tiempo de ver los resultados del cambio.

Gracias por seguir trabajando en este maravilloso mod. No me arrepiento de comprarlo.

Probably Corsair or Commodore difficulty.  Although I must admit that these difficultly levels are unchanged from City of Abandoned Ships (COAS) settings and therefore are also prone to some things still not ideally balanced, but I think they are the closest to providing a proper level of difficulty to most situations.

Also, even though I do recommend the ERAS II mod, we have fixed most of the problems in our version of both GOF 1.2 and COAS too, if you'd like to try them.

Thanks for your answer. After playing hours on Corsair difficulty, I decided to give Admiral a try and finally found the difficulty level adjusted to my style of play. Now the experience is really exciting for me.

Luckily, this game offers many possibilities to adjust the level of difficulty. For example, if I select the Admiral level, I have to adjust the strength stats to 8 points and stamina to 9 points, to better face the character's fencing matches.

Power 8

Perception 6

Reaction 6

Authority 10

Talent 4 + 1 (Item)

Resistance 9

Success 5

Now the fencing matches are harder, but also more balanced for me. Of course, there are missions that are really difficult at low levels. It's a matter of patience.

To balance the economy, I have left the Success skill at 5.

As for the Admiral difficulty level in naval battles, it is now really hard, but rewarding. Again, you have to be patient, wait for your chance, initially avoid punitive expeditions, progressively improve skills, hire better officers, assign them ships appropriate to their level...

In short, GOF Eras II is really playable, with a lot of content and lots of beautiful details.

I have also played other modifications, I guess the best known. Although it was years ago. I will definitely try the mods you have recommended.

In relation to GOF 1.2 (if my memory serves me correctly), a few years ago I worked on the Spanish translation. But unfortunately, I abandoned the translation for personal reasons. Now I have seen that someone has modified the translation to adapt it to Eras II. I have simply reviewed all the files, adding the missing ones, translating and updating for the latest version of the mod. The translation of Eras II is almost finished (98%), but I can't find a way to translate the texts in the intro menu of the game.

When I add the line cfgLang = spanish in the languaje.ini file (in \RESOURCE\INI\texts) the main menu bars stay blank.

Thanks again, for responding, ChezJfrey.

Edit.

I forgot to mention that loyalty and reputation in GOF Eras II work correctly without the need to install any external mod.

Re-Edit:

Sorry for my bad memory. I've searched and found my own prints on New Horizons (on my Nexusmods account), but I don't remember my link email on piratesahoy. I have seen that a group of guys have continued and finished the translation of New Horizons. Most of the Resource and Program files have been translated by me personally in June 2019.

I don't know why I have confused both mods, since New Horizons and GOF 1.2 are mods created for different games. In any case, the translation of Eras II is almost finished and it works correctly, but I have not been able to contact JTem to let him know and send him the zip file with the finished translation.

I must also clarify that I have finished the translation for Eras II for my personal use. Actually I didn't plan to get too involved, but I don't have any problem sharing it either.

Greetings and apologies for the confusion.
