why not can see the photos?
Is this still happening? I got a couple suggestions.
We believe
Late to the party as usual.
Didn't notice this thread when it was first posted.
S.S. 7.0 was always assumed to be a mythic object, something that one might hope to find, but was told it was never going to happen.
I've forgotten most of what I knew about modding -but would be happy to test and suggest improvements etc.
My wishlist be short :
A simple all-in-one installer that installs everything needed for the base game.
Make it simple to add mods, bug fixes etc.
erm that's about it.
My couple suggestions would be a change for Aventuros, they should not be a Tercio Unit but a 2 handed sword (Montante) one.
For historical reference:
From the mid-15th century onwards, the lower and middle-ranking leadership of Portuguese expeditions and of the resulting overseas outposts were the fidalgos – gentlemen descended from the old knightly class. The importance of such men was highlighted by Azurara (Gomes Eanes de Zurara) during the second half of the 15th century. His Chronicle of the King Dom Joćo I described the force assembled to attack Ceuta, the most enthusiastic being younger men who ‘ardently desired to acquire the merits of those who had given them life [their fathers], and following their example, to furnish proofs of their courage and loyalty’.
“Success led to a rapid expansion of a class known as the ‘nobility of service’, so that by the 16th century numerous fidalgos from minor and often poor aristocratic families would hang around the royal court, eager for a chance to show their worth. Consequently, the Portuguese government was able to employ large numbers in its armadas and overseas captaincies, their exploits filling the 16th century chronicles and literature.”
Nicolle ill. Embleton 2012 p13-14
So now that we established that leadership was from Nobility let’s look at their conduct:
Crowley 2015 p228
“The military code of the fidalgos valued heroic personal deeds over tactics, the taking of booty and prizes over the achievement of strategic objectives. Men-at-arms were tied by personal and economic loyalties to their aristocratic leaders rather than to an overall commander. Victories were gained by acts of individual valor rather than rational planning. The Portuguese fought with a ferocity that stunned the peoples of the Indian Ocean, but their methods were medieval and chaotic and, not infrequently, suicidal.”
The historian Joćo de Barros summarized its consequences for captains and commanders: ‘that in decisions about whether to fight … so that honorable deeds may be done, even if dangerous, they must not raise objections based on the personal safety of their lives.’ Henceforward prudence was impossible. No one felt able to refuse an engagement, however rash, without accusations of cowardice. Only bravery of the most explicit kind would suffice. The honor code of the fidalgos was accentuated to the extent of an emphasis on hand-to-hand combat over the distant destruction of cannon fire."
Crowley 2015 p278 (describing fidalgos at Goa, 1512)
“[T]he nobles wished to wield their enormous two-handed swords in heroic single combat, winning booty and polishing their reputations…”
Fidalgos who were nobles, clad head to toe in an expensive full set of armour, always at the top commanding positions, and also formed the veritable “spearhead” of assaults. Most notably, they wielded some scary two-handed swords the Portuguese called montante which in the right hands was capable of cutting an un-armoured person (arguably the most common kind of foe the Portuguese faced in the east) in half, if the chronicles are to be trusted. But because they were nobles, they weren’t bound to any kind of uniformity when it came to arms or armour, so it varied; they also used shields, broad swords and halberds. Rather uniquely, these nobles were accompanied into the heat of the fray by personal servants who would carry their weapons and fight alongside them.
Also Portugal should have Grand Carrack as they were the main Naval power until 1580.
Hope to not need to wait 10 more years for the next update.

What the hell happened? Is Germanicu5 gone?
I mean... Ok.... this mod is for free and we don't pay a single cent to the creators.
But what is the point in making such a post and then just disappear again? We are not in a demanding position or something as we already long forgot about this. But I really would like to know the reasoning behind such an announcement if there is no plan to actually release anything even close to the given timeframe of 6 week(ish)?
I find myself comming here too often just to check for news. I think I have to stop this.

Just found this today. Seems 6 weeks has now turned into a full year. Fingers crossed we hear something eventually.
