    thanks for the updates Jacek, your game is really wonderful, i'm playing it from day one and can say that is the best pirate open world sim on the AppStore so far.

    Thanks Gwarmaxx for showing me this game through the Stellar Horizon thread. This game is to the seas and pirates what Stellar Horizon is to the space exploration and trading.

    I guess I have another time-killing winner here :)

    EDIT: bug report: when tampering with the resolution slider in the settings menu, the game tends to crash. I can swipe fast to the lowest or highest setting, but when trying to set an intermediate resolution it crashes. I guess it's because some of the resolutions are unsupported on my 4S. Any chance you could put 4-5 supported resolutions to permute between them, instead of a slider?

    you welcome VBF!

    this game is a rare pearl, and also very complex (essential imho), a lot of things to do and grow up like own bases/cities, purchase pieces of map, choose well what features get when you level up, expand and enhance your own ships, purchase and/or capture new ones, trade wisely, remain in the good graces of every nation trying to not attack their ships/fleets at random, build your own forts... wow, guess you can play for months without tiring, not to mention the multiplayer battles and the open world mode, a real time sailing anywhere you want to go... really too much.

    i haven't any problem with the res slider, it's just a little uncomfortable to use, but the game doesn't crash under no circumstances in my case.

    Thanks for your tips. I gave the whole thread a read when I came here, and I've read about the real time sailing option, but haven't been able to try it yet.

    As for the slider bug, maybe it's because of my jailbreak. I'll try rebooting and setting the slider first thing after I access the game. What resolution do you play with?

    Hey Gwarmaxx, sorry to bring bad news for you: update is live, but unfortunately it's iOS8.1+ only. I'm still on 7.1.2, so I won't be able to update. I hope you can enjoy the new features, since you seemed very excited with them.

    Sorry about that, I didn't thought that it can affect anyone.
    We have to raise min sys specs because of using new advertisement system. Maybe we will back to 7.0 if it will be not useful.

    If you like it, you can find our game also on Mac App Store and Windows Store.

    Well, AFAIK Gwarmaxx was also on iOS 7 unless he updated recently, so he's affected too. I like the game, and in fact I like it a lot, but I morally can't invest in it if it doesn't work on my iOS version anymore. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac nor a Windows device to play in. Thanks anyway. I'll track this thread in case it goes back to iOS 7+ requirements.

    yeah VBF, i'm still on 7.1.2 and i'm really upset of that situation, mainly 'cause i like the game, but also 'cause i've spent on a couple of IAPs and was thinking to get a couple more next month :mad:

    so, we are out of the game by now...

    I find the game becomes unresponsive when I'm in the in apps purchase menu and click on something info box. I have to exit out of the game and reopen it.

    Thanks a lot! Reinstalling just after I finish typing this :)

    EDIT: Finally able to purchase the "no-ads" IAP after several tries. I've set the game language to English because the Spanish version seems like half-translated. The free roaming mode is very cool, but I still have to learn how everything works. I sailed a bit, found an abandoned ship, boarded it and... Two ships came from behind and destroyed me :p I guess I need to practice more. But the game is amazing as a pirate game nonetheless.
