Is Maelstrom and Historical Eras II compatible with Steam' version of Sea Dogs City of Abandoned Ships.
If so will this procedure work.
Copy the Sea Dog files to a folder using the layout you suggest in our instructions?
Then extract mod files into that folder
Extract maelstrom files to a folder as per your instructions.
Set up shortcut as per the instructions.
Again if the Sea Dogs City of Abandoned ships is compatible can I use the itchi installer to do all of this?
Maelstrom is a rewrite of the engine or .exe executable that runs all the same games that you used to have to purchase separately, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Caribbean Tales, City of Abandoned Ships. Those 3 games evolved from the same engine, but in order to make them backward compatible, and to also use some of the newer features added in the rewrite, the scripts did require some changes to make them all work, so you can't use the scripts from the original cd; we went through and kept those games identical to their original, but now made to work on the one engine. We also corrected many bugs while doing so.
ERAS is a mod based on City of Abandoned ships. Technically, GOF was the original COAS mod that ERAS then started from GOF 1.2. If you use Maelstrom, you can play all the Sea Dogs derived games on the page you see listed on the Maelstrom page: POTC, CT, COAS, GOF, ERAS and you do not need any of the GoG or Steam versions...none of them. Maelstrom will drive the game, instead of those older engines. It's also 64 bit capable , which the originals or the ones from GoG or Steam are not.
