Best of luck.

That’s awesome. I think part of my problem is that the oceans always look too artificial. The trick with the whirlpools to alleviate space constraints is pretty brilliant though. Is it better or worse to start different factions in different zones? Different zones would…[Read more]

Thanks for the tip. How do you go about arranging your oceans? Are there steps you take to create a good design, or do you just place things randomly and then adjust them?

That would be really cool. I’ve tried making large maps and while I’m capable of all the tasks, I struggle with design aspects, such as how to arrange all the island and reefs and other terrain in such a way that it is playable. I have that problem…[Read more]

Or at least the one that has the least holes. It makes sense anyway.

Yeah, I did some experimenting too. I even tried to recreate the map from the pictures, but for whatever reason, despite following what was written (10×20 ocean and double borders) the map…[Read more]

Well, VASSAL would be alright for me, but I can’t guarantee consistent attendance, which makes remote play difficult regardless of the game. The link you posted is one I found, but I don’t see any specific rulesets. I found the links on this page though, it just took a bit to…[Read more]

That’s very helpful.

Or are you just going to make the Caribbean game replace it? Also, what is the limiting factor? Does it just not fit in VASSAL or something?

I just discovered Pirates CSG a few days ago. I’ve played a few games, trying to learn as much as I can. The huge games and campaign games seems awesome. It’s too bad that I can’t find a ruleset anywhere.
