I really do miss these old Pirates, City of Abandoned Ships and Sea Dogs type games! No one has been able to create anything quite like them since, modern iterations like the Ubisoft new Pirate Game based of assassins creed is looking to be a disappointment. Great work!
@@whisperipStandalone and free version of New Horizons on the new open source Storm engine. It contains all regular New Horizons content. There are still some rough edges here and there though...
@@ExploringAndMe yes, different direction of development. My goal with Maelstrom is to make it close to COAS, while BNH is the official mod with vanilla gameplay.
Ahoy there, mate! Good to see ye. There may still be rough edges and bugs in the new engine, but for sure it's going to be far more stable than the original Storm 2.0 version. It'll also finally solve the classic Intel Graphics compatibility as well as the "slow motion inside" issues that have plagued us for so long.
Maybe guys try make new mod for Carribean Legend?:P A little better graphics that old Pirates from Caribbean ...so good moders maybe could improve game even more to best pirate game ever;P
@@diegosolis9681 I personally would also love to see a bit more modern and user friendly UI, I get some of you guys are sentimental about these looks but don't speak for everyone. Graphics I don't mind that much but it is pretty obvious there are some serious engine limitations outside of that.

Great work!
Amazing that work is still being done to this amazing mod!! I though you were all done when you released the final version of Build 14!
Nope, not done at all!
But after 14, at some point a 15 should be cast. 😅
Glad to see more progress is being done. Keep up the good work
This is awesome news for 2023!
Link is in the description for those who want to test the mod in the current state. It's a work in progress, so expect bugs...
Is this a sequel to New Horizons or something new?

Thank ye very kindly!
Great to hear our work is appreciated.
Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo realizado.
Just started the game Black Flag for the first time and now this? this is the best day ever
Happy to see this does this mean the mealstrom version can be deleted?
I'm the creator of the Maelstrom version. How do you mean deleted?
@@samiradzovic894 are there differences i mean ? Now i have both installed
@@ExploringAndMe yes, different direction of development. My goal with Maelstrom is to make it close to COAS, while BNH is the official mod with vanilla gameplay.
@@samiradzovic894COAS?
Nice!
Amazing. So sorry to bother you all, but how can I install this? Is there any FAQ? Thank you so much and amazing job
Woow nice!
Good job :)
Thank ye kindly!
I hope you'll enjoy it. 😄
Alright. Ok. @@pieterboelen2862
Very nice, it would be nice if all the ships had lights on them like in age of pirates. It will make it more immerve.
Hey there, Pieter! It's fascinating that the team it's still working on the mod. Is the new engine more stable than classic New Horizons?
Ahoy there, mate! Good to see ye. There may still be rough edges and bugs in the new engine, but for sure it's going to be far more stable than the original Storm 2.0 version.

Can we paint the ships? Can we have more sail colors? Similar to POTCO of 2007?
Not quite familiar with POTCO, but for sure you can choose from a wide variety of sails; with or without emblems.
There is a Repaint interface where you can switch the colour scheme of the ships to any others of the ones available in the game.
This is surprisingly good considering it's 2003 (potco was 2007 with worse graphics tbh). Can the ships be customized?
Every ship can have any of eight different upgrades.
It doesn't change the appearance; but does improve the performance.
Glad to see that it's still alive. Can we expect early ships like Caravels or Carracks ? These are my favorite even if it's not period-correct.
At the moment, everything is tied to periods. But you can alway choose custom ship for your gameplay.
There a re a few caravels and carracks. You'll find them if you play in the earliest period.
@@PiratesAhoyCommunity Can we paint the ships
@@HoJu1989 how varied is ship customization? Can I paint ships?
@@floofypoofybread You can't choose any color you want, but most ships have at least a couple of different skins you can change in the shipyard.
Where and how can we eventually have access to the game?
Link is in description...
thank you very much anywhere we might be able to donate too? @@PiratesAhoyCommunity
@@Raphaeln234 You are most kind for asking! At the moment, we have no method of accepting donations. But we might set that up in the future.

Still looks like from 20 years ago
You are saying that to the people that couldn't give a single fuck less about it.
This engine is legendary in the pirate-theme loving community.

@@ImMora1The priority is porting the mod and make sure it works. Once that's done, new/revamped features will be considered.
i'm playing this right now! graphics doesnt make it the end all be all! Playing Ironman mode and enjoying it.
@@imamish Iron Man Mode even! You HERO!
Is there a way to get this to work on Windows 11? I have an older version and it crashes when the game proper starts.
This is actually for newer versions of Windows, including Win 11. That's why the engine transition happened.
@@samiradzovic894 Nice, thanks.
It should work right out of the box.
@@PiratesAhoyCommunity The newest build you mean?
@@DocFlamingo The B15 Beyond New Horizons, yes.
