Port Royal 2 is a great game. I am playing it for many many years and I always like to back to this title. I always thought the game was complete and didn't need any changes.

But recently I thought about a "small" modification, specifically I mean changing/modifying/add the captains' names and surnames.

after hundreds of hours of gameplay, it would be nice to hire someone new in the tavern, not another Abott, Lancaster, van Dyck etc. ;)

Therefore, I have a question: maybe someone knows how to change/modify this data and in what file this data is located?

or maybe someone has already tried to change it?

I know it's not an important element in the game, but sometimes such small things make a big difference.

Hi

I get around this issue by renaming the convoy ot what I want it to read at the shipyard
Just wondering if you tried Port Royale 1? some would argue its even better then PR2

now u got me curious to see if I can find a way to do it.

if I do I will post the How.

IAM369 thank you for answer.

that's what I did, it's not the same, but ...

I played PR1 a long time ago, but I play PR2 because there are no limits convoys, building permits + own cities.

One mistake od naval combat: whole fleets vs one ship (poor).


In that case, I will wait for your message and solution ;)

I marked the post/issue as solved by mistake, I have no idea how to delete or unmark it?

What do u mean no limits?
How about limited to using ONLY 1 Ship in combat vs 5 at a time?
Limit on how much ammo u can carry
Limit on how much ammo ur private city can carry
Limit on how much commodities ur city can hold

FYI, with a bit of fiddling u can get more captains
at ruler of seas in PR1 u get 20 convoys

The Private city / hideout is Way superior to PR1

Btw will take another look the name thing right now

You're probably right, I don't remember to much from PR1. Since I started playing PR2, my adventure with PR1 has ended. The only thing I remember are the differences in limits. Too much time has passed since my last PR1 game for me to be objective.

In the coming days I will try to play PR1 a few times and maybe I will start playing 1 instead of 2. Thank you for the tip.
