What's the name of the game on the Mount and Blade engine where you play a pirate or some other sailor?

Thanks!

For bonus points, if you've played it and mount and blade, what did you think? Worth a play?

Blood & Gold: Caribbean!:

I played a very early build man moons ago, now idea what the game is like these days but it later received a storyline and many improvements.

Thank you guys! I'm trying to get my wishlist beefy for Christmas and remembered this one coming through in-dev at some point. I'll have to check out the reviews.

I have Blood and Gold Caribbean on my WL, so please update this thread with how you like the game if you ever play it?
Thanks.

A bit late to the party, but I have a couple of hundreds of hours in Mount & Blade on Steam and I can assure you, it is a unique experience. It is a sandbox game where you kinda do whatever the hell you want, it can be overwhelming at first but you get used to the mechanics in little time.

The mod community is just incredible.

If you wanna try it, I recommend you Mount and Blade Warband

You can watch some lets plays for it too, there are no spoilers since each playthrough is a separate experience.

I think OP wanted a comparison between Mount & Blade and Caribbean!; he's presumably already played at least one M&B game.

I think you are right, I misread completely, I will leave my post just for posterity.

Similar enough to recognize it being part of the M&B Family, different enough to stand out regardless of this.

Its an underrated game which made the mistake of getting out too soon and too bugged back then. It came around a lot since then and is in my opinion by now the superior Age of Sail RPG in gogs collection. It feels more stable than the Sea Dogs series and, while far less pretty of course, deeper & more varied than Man O' War. If you are familiar with the M&B series you also would have it easier going into it than if you are a newb with these kind of game mechanics.

Worth a play? If you like Age of Sail RPGs / Pirate simulators totally.

I picked it up in the sale (sail?) today. I'll let you all know what I think later this week.

Awesome I'll stay tuned. I grabbed it last time it was on sa(i)le because I heard they were having some financial difficulties and I knew I wanted the game - figured better to be safe than sorry.

Haven't fired it up yet (saving!) but wouldn't mind seeing some early impressions! Especially on if there's "stuff" to do when on land aside from large scale land battles (any smaller exploration / fighting).

I've played some time ago. A few words about it... Please keep in mind that I don't remember it that well now so I may not be able to answer your questions.

Blood & Gold: Caribbean!
A gift from Doc0075, thanks a lot again

A decent sandbox game set in Golden Pirate Era. Sadly, the game lacks the depth and thus after some time it becomes repetitive. I think that creating a few storylines aka campaigns would make the game a lot better. Maybe it’s focused on multiplayer and that’s where it shines but I won’t check that.

Anyway, the game offers quite a lot of variety. You can trade, pirate (duh!), lead armies or fleets, govern, join factions, do a lot of quests, explore, escape from prison (I like it a lot!) and so on. Each aspect is quite interesting and entertaining but as I said before - it lacks the depth so after some time it becomes rather boring. Then you shift to another aspect (say, governing a town) and have a lot of fun until it becomes boring again. After a few shifts of focus you have a feeling you’ve seen it all, done it all. At that point you stop playing. Just like I’ve just done. I had a lot of fun with it but I don’t think I’ll play it again. Maybe if the add a proper campaign mode.

That's about how I'd talk about mount and blade. It's fun for some time and eventually, you put it away. No"finish," just a fun time while you make your own stories (I like to have vendettas in my head).

Thanks for looking the review!

You are welcome. My feeling is that things you can do in Mount and Blade are a bit more... let's say convoluted i.e. you can combine a few aspects and benefit from it. In Blood & Gold there should be some impact of governing a city on aiding one of the factions. Yet I have not experience anything meaningful like this (just some cosmetic changes). AFAIR you could do such things in m&b but it was also long time ago I played this game so maybe I am wrong.
