Hi everyone,
Time has come for us to share what we've been working on since the last status update.
Firstly, boarding locations seem to be complete. While we were working on the scenes with the battleship, we had some ideas on how we could improve the whole boarding process, but in the end decided to hold off implementing until later development stages. Battleships were the most powerful means of destruction in XVII century, really huge ships. Adding them into the game took us some time. Anyway, we really hope you'll like this ship.
Next, the old global map is no more, and the new one is in the works. It's a bit hard to read at the moment, but the world should get prettier soon. If you remember, initially we wanted to include not only local tribes, but Brazilian colonies, Maia's and Apache Indians' towns, even cities of New England as well. This idea proved to be too ambitious, so instead we decided to focus entirely on the Caribbean region, territories of Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and other states have been taken out from the game.
The new troops hiring system is now finished. Our main goal was to distance it from the system familiar to you by M&B games. Now the troops aren't hired with a series of questions and answers ("How many Spanish musketeers would you like?" – "I would like 5 Spanish musketeers"), it's now done with the system of icons and sliders. It's working very similar to the current trading screen.
Finally, we began working on the new quest system. Quests have been untied from the dialogues and lords. To be honest, dialogues in M&B sometimes seemed quite routine to us — especially when a lord that assigned a quest, decided to go to war, then lose it and be jailed for a couple of weeks. Now quests are assigned by cities and factions in a single quest panel.
Plans for the following month:
– Making more quests (possibly some special ones with smuggling involved);
– New rank system to replace the current one;
– Adding trading renown – as we mentioned, we'd like to make trading and business a full-fledged activity for roleplaying;
– Finishing the global map and the new version of the city screen, which we'll show you in a separate post once we have some pretty screenshots on hand.
Also please be sure to 'like' our little Facebook 'Caribbean!' page if you want to stay up-to-date with the game's news at that place and if that's your thing. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
We wanted to share another status update and along with it give a warning that the next update will take a while to be finished. But it should be the biggest update for us since the Early Access launch, and if everything goes as planned, the game will smoothly enter the beta phase.
Here's what we'll be working on for the next month:
1. Creating new mechanism for quest assignments.
Giving out quests in Mount & Blade series always depended on certain characters. But sometimes it's not very convenient as the lord the gave you a quest could be taken prisoner and you'd have to wait for his grace to be released in order to receive your hard earned reward.
2. Adding new quests.
We want to redo the quest system completely. Firstly, no more 'go to the village on the edge of the map and kill a character with 'Suspicious guy' tooltip. Meaning we'd like to reduce the amount of FedEx-quests and replace them with a bit more meaningful actions. Secondly, we want to divide the quests by trading and military ones. A peaceful player that doesn't really want to rob and kill others and likes trading should be rewarded for his play style. So a part of the quests will be dedicated to battles and killing, another — for trading and money making.
3. Changing the renown system.
We're planning to make renown a main capital for the player. If you're a known captain, you'll always be able to gather a gang of thugs ready to die for you during Spanish colony assault. If you're a known merchant, you'll always be able to find investors ready to give you their business share. But not the other way around.
4. Updated city screen.
Just as a reminder, the current version of the city screen is a placeholder. We'll do our best to make it prettier and load a bit faster.
5. New strategic map.
The current strategic map is filled with graphical artifacts, impassable seas and what not. Not to mention the not so realistic geography. New map will be done in an absolutely different visual style that was never used in M&B games. So far this idea sounds risky, but we hope you'll like it.
It's quite difficult to know for sure how much time all of this will take, so no certain dates for now. However, we hope to finish working on these tasks before the New Year.
Hi everyone,
Today we're releasing an update where we change things up a little in land battles. Please watch the video below for instruction on how to use it and let us know what you think:
Update notes for 0.910:
– Added new options for controlling armies in land battles. NB: Before battle starts, players have 60 seconds to place their troops. To access the battle planning interface, press 'Backspace' button.
– Added new boarding location – frigate.
– Improved AI for enemy armies.
– Added 3D icons for available actions at boarding scenes.
– Changed balance for crew sizes during boarding.
– Gunners are now divided by their nationality. They also have a personal weapon and ability to fight in close range.
– Added assault cavalry units.
– Changed balance for player's starting army.
– Added separation of all single-type troops by squads in land battles.
– Removed items purchase from village elders that caused an error earlier.
– Fixed a bug with sudden ships sinking after battle start.
– Fixed a bug with incorrect additions to ship crews.
– Fixed balance and bugs in 'Old Jorge' quest.
– Fixed a bug that prevented ships repair in the sea.
– Fixed a bug with smoke caused by shooting with some weapons.
– Fixed a bug with long-barreled guns which AI tried to use as shields earlier.
– Fixed a graphical artifact in the launcher.
– Fixed a bug with moving sailors from other ships to flagship.
– Fixed a bug with ships display after its purchase in the harbor.
– Fixed a bug that prevented hiring troops in captured towns.
– Fixed polygon errors in officer armor sets.
– Fixed a bug with ships HP after being upgraded.
– Fixed a bug with ships hull HP.
– Fixed bugs in global map's physics.
Hi everyone,
Since the last status update we've focused on these three elements: adding new boarding locations with frigate, developing strategic control for land battles and content's optimization.
Though it's more of a content cleanup. During the development the game got an incredible amount of unused scripts, textures, models, locations and so on. Much of this content was left from 'With Fire & Sword', that we had to give up for gamedesign reasons. Some things we were just too afraid to touch, as Mount & Blade engine could always need them to work properly.
That's it for now. We hope the update arrives pretty soon, it's very interesting to hear your opinion on new land battles.
Hi everyone,
We'd like to tell you what we're currently working on and what we want to include in the next update.
First, we want to finish a new working version of land battles. We figured what the game was missing is RTS elements because 'Caribbean!' is no longer a game about feudal fights of knights and peasants. Creating formations for infantry and cavalry that players will be able to control with handy interface is our main goal for the next two weeks.
The next on the agenda is finishing the city screen. As we already mentioned, what you currently see in the game is a placeholder. The end result should be pretty and intuitive. Also, if possible, with shorter load times too.
Finally, we're planning to add one more boarding location, for ships of higher ranks.
About fixing the bugs. We understand that you want them gone as soon as possible but we can't promise that just yet. Until the game's foundations are complete we don't really want to resort to full-on bugfixing. In that case we run the risk of delaying the development for a few more months. Nevertheless, we'll try to deal with the following problems first:
– Massive damage caused by ship ramming.
– Jamming on the deck at the big ship / small ship boarding location.
– Spontaneous changes in ships HP in sea battles.
– OP grenades and troops that use them.
We may add something else to the list, but please note that some of these problems won't be easy to resolve and will take more time than the other.
Stay tuned for the updates and keep the comments coming. Even if we don't reply to all of them, we certainly do our best to read through all feedback.
Hi everyone,
Today we're releasing a pretty big (and long overdue) update for 'Caribbean!'. You can check out our new video devblog where we show what's been added and changed:
Update notes:
Strategic part:
– Added new interactive city screen.
– Introduced system for building construction.
– Added new entities 'Cargo hold' and 'Storage' to the game's functional.
– Changed goods trading interface.
Sea battles:
– Increased size of the sea locations.
– Improved AI's behavior during battles.
– Increased shooting distance for ships' artillery.
– Added ship ramming ability.
– Added 'captain's bridge' camera option.
– Added 'spyglass' camera option.
– All boarding locations are completely redone.
– Added 'rope jumps / climbing up' for the attacking side.
– Added crow's nests for masts on all ships.
– AI is now divided into 'defending' and 'attacking' entities. Attacking AI will try to get to enemy's deck as soon as possible, while the defending one will hold the line.
Land battles:
– Changed cavalry behavior. It will now always attempt to perform charge attacks.
– Added starting formations for the entire player's army. All troops are now divided by their types automatically.
– Partly reworked order system.
General fixes:
– Changed shooting visual effects for most weapons.
– Fixed a bug in artillery's smoke particles that caused FPS drop.
– Changed horse troops line-ups of all factions, except for the Brotherhood of the Coast.
New commands for controlling your troops:
1, 2, 3, 4 buttons will order the troops to come up to the player. Same buttons in combination with Ctrl will give an order to attack.
1 – order melee units to come up to you.
2 – order riflemen to come up to you.
3 – order close-range cavalry to come up to you.
4 – order long-range cavalry to come up to you.
Ctrl+1 – order melee units to attack.
Ctrl+2 – order riflemen to attack.
Ctrl+3 – order close-range cavalry to attack.
Ctrl+4 – order long-range cavalry to attack.
Note: The 'Come up' command doesn't replicate the old 'Follow me' command. The troops will only come closer to the player and will make a formation relatively close to his position.
Known issues:
As the game is going through an active overhaul stage, many of its elements are completely turned off or don't work correctly. We'd like to ask the players to be understanding of this. The development process doesn't let us release a fully working current version of the game. But at the same time we don't want to keep you waiting for an update any longer.
So here's what you'll need to keep in mind when playing the version 0.900:
– You can't hire garrison in a city captured by you. This is because the city menu concept is being changed. In the future we're planning to add a brand new screen for troops hiring and city upgrades. Advice: after successful city assault you can leave there freed prisoners – they'll go the garrison automatically.
– Industrial buildings will produce the goods, but won't sell them. You'll need to collect the goods from storage and sell it yourself for now.
– The old system for controlling the troops was turned off, but the new system is only in the beginning of the development. Most likely, you won't be able to control the troops with comfort in the nearest month.
– Price system and its balance. We have an especially rare pistol that costs 180 000 piasters and a frigate that costs 150 000. Sometimes two almost identical sables can differ in price dramatically. A good cuirass can cost like a regiment of royal musketeers and so on. We're aware of these problems and ask to be patient. We can't start working on the economy balance until overall work on the gameplay is finished.
– Same goes for weapon balance. Grenades and cannons, above all. We'll certainly fix this, but closer to the release.
– FPS drops and slow locations loading. We've reached the limits of M&B's engine possibilities. It can be fixed with optimization and cleaning old content. But the thing is that the engine often relies on the resources which are dangerous to delete from the game. We'll optimize the game, slow but steady. We already started working on that, but owners of lower-end PCs will experience some problems in the current version.
Hi everyone,
We have to let you know that the big July update we announced earlier won't be coming — instead, it's going to become even bigger and land in August. We'll share the reasons behind this decision, as well our current work progress, below:
Boarding. We think that boarding is the heart of combat gameplay, even more important than sea battles. The current version of the boarding fights stopped being satisfactory for us a long time ago, and as a result we're redoing it from scratch.
Graphic quality of the boarding locations was too poor compared to the character models so all ships are being completely redone. Besides the evident difference in textures, we redesigned level geometry: got rid off jamming on decks and unnecessary rooms, made the movement on ships more clear and free for the player. We also added crow's nests on masts, to provide riflemen with additional spots.
Naval combat. The second most important element of the game. We're still torn between which path to choose: making everything more simple and arcady or adding more options for strategy and control. But our internal tests showed that either way we'd need to deal with current small locations. Right now gameplay functions well only with 2 vs. 2 ship battles. Our limit is 12 ships on the scene, and with that amount of ships there's very little room for everyone in the sea. Making the location bigger is a challenge as we have to work around the engine's limitations. So for now our programmer added a 'spyglass' option that many of you asked for. More significant updates in this area should be coming in September.
Trading and economy. Initially it was supposed to be a side gameplay element, but we want to increase its importance in the game. Actually, working on economy takes more time than anything else at the moment as we keep changing some basic things in M&B engine. For example, right now we separate player's personal inventory and his cargo. It's not very convenient and logical to carry not only a set of 12 breastplates but two tons of cacao as well. Another new element is building construction in the towns — there's so much to do here that we won't even dare to promise it done by August.
Strategic map. We got a lot of feedback on geography of our map and its flaws. Apologies for the inaccuracies — that was our first try to befriend realism with gaming. In August we'll do our best to finish the new world map, more accurate and, possibly, far more attractive.
The plans are pretty ambitious for us, and we hope we can implement all of this with no problem. After the August update we'll be ready to switch to the next big step — refining land battles and implementing city sieges.
Sorry for the delay with the update — unfortunately, the vacations of our team's members have taken its toll. We should be able to release it during the second week of September.
Hi everyone,
New update 0.802 is available today. Not a big one, but consider it to be a foundation for a huge update in July.
– Added functional for ammunition consumption in naval battles (ammunition can be bought in the harbor).
– Added two new ship models.
– Added new economic model for testing – reset raw material and product types, adjusted production and consumption.
– Sound effects partly changed.
– Removed unnecessary test content.

Hi everyone,
This past week has been very busy and intense for our studio. We released a free DLC for our turn-based strategy game, 'Eador' and launched 'Caribbean!' onto Early Access. But that didn't stop us from reading through all the feedback on our pirate RPG. A ton of questions were asked, but as it's difficult to answer to each and every one, we decided to lay our thoughts and plans in this one post.
The main question — "Why would I pay for a mod that's not even complete?". The answer is obvious, because 'Caribbean!' is not a mod. Just the scope of code work that went into the engine changes we requested has been tremendous.
You can look at screenshots of Crusader Kings 2 and say it's merely a mod of Europa Universalis 4. Both games do share a lot in common — provinces, map, menus. But they remain very different projects, and their audiences aren't necessarily the same. In the case of our Caribbean project we rely on M&B Warband's engine but at the same time build a game that's going to be very different. We don't want to simply change the character models, we want to create another system for this game's world.
As many of you noticed, earning gold in the game is currently not very fun. Honestly, we intentionally simplified the game's economy to this 'bare bones' state. A new production system and new trading system are our main development goals for the upcoming month. You probably remember the old city-building strategy games. A lumberjack goes to the forest, chops trees, and brings wood to the storage. Then a carpenter takes it from there, makes a chair and so on. Goods are physically produced and moved around the game world. In our case, we have a game in the era of plantations, West-Indian campaigns and the origins of capitalism. So the medieval economic system of attacking enemy troops, looting 40 pairs of boots and then selling them in the nearest town doesn't really suit us. We won't go into detail at the moment until we have working code for this part of the game, but the plans for economy are very ambitious.
Another important part is monotonous naval battles. This is a very difficult aspect of the game and community feedback on this would be very much appreciated. The current implementation of naval battles is a compromise between simple arcade fun and something more realistic. We tried experimenting with turbo-ships at the beginning, but thought it contrasted way too much with the rest of the game. We also have a few ideas for adding strategic elements, to let players interact with his fleet. However, we don't want to overdo it and turn the game to a simulation of Horace Nelson's workday. If you have any ideas on this yourself, please don't hesitate to share them with us.
Speaking of the boarding; as we mentioned in the devblog video, current boarding locations are more like placeholders and are not final. They will be replaced with new models, updated with quality textures and those sudden deaths from a random bullet in the first second of a fight will be dealt with as well. Pre-battle troop management for boarding fights has also crossed our minds.
Lastly, 'walking around the towns' and land locations. To be honest, we can't really provide the content to a proper standard in this regard at the moment. This aspect needs some financial help, and that is one of the Early Access stage's goals. We want to complete the game the way we see it.
We haven't addressed many of the other matters — like multiplayer, interaction with native Americans, a meta-goal system and so on. These would need their own separate posts. For now we'd like to note that Warband's engine allows us to create the best conditions for roleplaying — a chance to be a hero that changes the game's world, not just a set of attack and defense attributes. We hope 'Caribbean!' will become a fine example of that.

War & Toys. Belgian Toys of 1914-1918 - Exhibition in Brussels
- Address:
Maison Autrique
Chaussée de Haecht 266
1030 Brussels (SCHAERBEEK)
- MAPS: Google Maps
This exhibition illustrates daily life in 1914-1918, focusing in particular on the toys of the period. At Maison Autrique (Autrique House), until 19/11/14.
You will discover a handsome part of a collection by Paul Herman, an enthusiast who has amassed close to 800 toys!
However, the exhibition isn't limited to history and toy soldiers. It also presents accurate miniature reproductions of villages or places, decors and wooden figurines, dolls and even board games.
Artists and craftsmen and women of the time designed and created toys in wood, cloth or carton-pierre for various toy factories across the country:
- FaBeJo (Fabrique belge de Jouets - Belgian toy Factory),
- Le Jouet Belge in Bruxelles,
- Le Jouet Liégeois in Liège,
- and Remdéo in Leuven.
These factories and their history will, of course, be mentioned, as well as the good causes which handed out food, clothes, healthcare and toys to families in need.
Finally, war games will also play a part in the exhibition, with the drawings by Lynen and the toys that they inspired.
Amédée Lynen - a painter known for his drawings and canvases depicting scenes of daily life - drew many armies before they were reproduced in wooden form.
We must remember that Belgian wartime toys were first and foremost peaceful and aimed to enable children to escape their daily lives.
The country's toy industry ground to a halt, with pillaging and rationing becoming systematic.
All of this pushed the Belgian public to be smart and develop a system where people helped each other.
Wars don't just produce victims on the battlefield.
Practical information
From Wednesday to Sunday (closed on public holidays) from 12 noon to 6pm (last entry at 5:30pm). Groups allowed (maximum 15 people). Booking is essential for guided tours.
Prices: €7 - €5 - €3.

Walking into Kim and Scott's condo was like stepping into a dream.

Whatever the case, it's hard not to fall in love with a home that contains such refreshing color, chic wallpaper, and a picture of a doughnut in an ornate gold frame.
Does Your Bedroom Look Boring? What Might Be Missing

Call for gender targets as Law Society president says some men do not deserve to be senior partners
Law firms should introduce targets to increase the representation of women lawyers in partnership and senior roles, and turn talk of flexible working into reality, a major new report has recommended.
The call came with a claim from Law Society president Lucy Scott-Moncrieff that if career progression was based on pure merit, some male law firm senior partners "would never even have seen the paintings on the boardroom wall".
The report came out of last year's International Women in Law Summit at the Law Society in London, with the recommendations – aimed at both professional bodies and law firms – based on research, a pre-conference survey by LexisNexis of 1,144 women lawyers from around the world and the views of delegates, who were drawn from top City firms, boutique practices and senior in-house counsel.
It called on law firms to "commit to the adoption of targets" for women's progression to senior roles, and "encourage partners to be accountable for retention, career development and building a diverse pipeline".
Further, firms need to take action to close the gap between policy and culture, making flexible working for both men and women a choice "that does not impede long-term career progression". This would include measuring and reporting the take-up of flexible working and providing alternate roles and later entry points to partnership.
Firms were also told to enhance career development support – such as with mentoring programmes and leadership training for women – to drive improved gender diversity, as well as to improve training in management to equip partners to provide better and more consistent support.
The report said that as women have traditionally fared better working in-house, in-house lawyers can play a key role in driving change within law firms, such as by "strengthening questions regarding working practices in legal tendering processes".
Speaking at a launch event last night, Ms Lucy Scott-Moncrieff said: "An increasing number of firms have genuinely embraced and adopted modern flexible working practices, allowing better work-life balance. These firms are attracting more talented women and men with boardroom potential.
"But there remains an uncomfortable truth. In some firms, where the opportunities for those wanting to strike a balance between high-flying work and family life are still scarce, men dominate the boardrooms. Unwittingly, these firms may be losing talented women and promoting mediocre men.
"It is not enough to merely pay lip service to the benefits of flexible working. It is not acceptable to consider women who take advantage of flexible working practices as somehow lacking commitment. The risk is that boardrooms will be full of men only some of whose talent warrants their senior positions. If career progression was based on pure merit, some male business leaders and law firm senior partners would never even have seen the paintings on the boardroom wall."
Helen Grant, who is minister for women and equalities as well as being a junior justice minister, said: "Women are at the heart of this country's economic growth strategy. We need to do all we can to make the most of their talents and skills and that means providing them with the support to balance family life and a career."
However, while endorsing the importance of flexible and part-time working, she said "special treatment or mandatory quotas" is not the right approach. "The evidence shows that our voluntary approach is working; in the past six months women now represent 44% of FTSE 100 board appointments. We are taking the same approach with Think, Act, Report – a voluntary scheme that encourages companies to think about how to offer equal opportunities for women in the workplace. This approach is driving real change with more than 1.2m employees – 11% of the eligible workforce – now working for companies who support the scheme."
Firms including Ashurst, Eversheds and Hogan Lovells have already introduced targets for the number of women in high-level positions, whilst seven law firms have signed up to the Think, Act, Report initiative.

Renee Bouchard Art Exhibit at Southern Vermont College Gallery
October 21, 2013
"Baby Ensor: Recent Paintings," an exhibit by Bennington artist Renee Bouchard, will be on display in Southern Vermont College's Burgdorff Gallery through December 19.
Bouchard's recent work chronicles the last 19 months of her life as a new mother, beginning with an oil painting, entitled "Conception." The watercolors were developed from her memory as well as in Bouchard's studio with her baby as the model while he was sleeping and playing.
"Each watercolor is a collection of multiple moments in the ever-changing passage of time," Bouchard explains.
Bouchard is inspired by the work of people with mental illness, folk art, children's art, and creations beyond the boundaries of the traditional "art world."
Bouchard states, "For me the beauty lies in what happens after my intended mark. It's the unexpected that keeps me engaged. Escaping the confines of one reality and entering a new reality is often where I find meaning within the complexity of the mind and the emotions it houses."
Bouchard graduated from the Maine College of Art and attended the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Phoebe Flory Watercolor School. She is a recipient of awards and honors from the Vermont Arts Council, Cooper Union, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and from the Kate Millet Art Colony for Women. Her work has been represented at McDaris Fine Art in Hudson, N.Y.
For more information on Bouchard's exhibit, contact Southern Vermont College Professor Greg Winterhalter at 802-447-6316 or email@example.com.

We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

UPDATED, 8 p.m.: GREENBURGH, N.Y. – A 20-year-old Bronx man who was shot Saturday in Greenburgh has died, while police continue to search for his killer.
The victim was identified Sunday evening as Kujtim Rushiti, of Wallace Avenue in the Bronx.
Police advised residents that this was not a random shooting. No further information was released.
Greenburgh Police responded shortly before 8:10 p.m. to the area of Tarrytown Road and Manhattan Avenue after reports of a man sitting in a car with gunshot wounds. At the same time, police said they received reports of shots being fired in the area of Oak Street and Warren Avenue.
When police and EMS arrived at the Tarrytown Road and Manhattan Avenue intersection, they found the victim unconscious in the front seat of the vehicle, suffering from at least one gunshot wound, police said. The victim, who has yet to be identified, was brought to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla where he later died of his injuries.
Police said they have confirmed the victim was shot at least once while at the intersection of Oak Street and Warren Avenue, and was driven to the intersection of Tarrytown Road and Manhattan Avenue.
Police said early Sunday afternoon that they are continuing to investigate the shooting and no arrests have been made. The victim's identity is expected to be released Sunday evening pending notification of his family.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Greenburgh Police Department at 914-682-5331.

Buenos Aires - Diego Maradona has chided his successor as Argentina's national team coach, saying if he were Sergio Batista he "would stay home" and not venture outside.
Maradona spoke publicly for the first since Argentina was knocked out of the Copa America quarter-finals, warning in a Tuesday radio interview that Lionel Messi and other top players could get frustrated with losing and stop playing for the national team.
He also criticised Julio Grondona, the president of the Argentine Football Association, blaming him for many of the problems that surround Argentina's national team.
"If I had won only one game in the Copa America, I would have quit," Maradona said.
Argentina defeated an inexperienced Costa Rica team in the Copa America, drew two other matches and was beaten by Uruguay in the quarter-finals.
By comparison, Maradona won four of five matches in the 2010 World Cup -against Nigeria, South Korea, Greece and Mexico - before losing 4-0 to Germany in the quarter-finals.
Grondona dismissed Maradona after the World Cup, partly because the famous Argentine star declined to fire some of his assistant coaches.
"I can't talk a lot about (the Copa America) because I didn't see the games." Maradona said. "When the players come on the field, it's like a knife being twisted inside me."
He said from the little he knew of the matches, players were "1 000 percent happier" playing for him than Batista.
He said his "biggest fear" was that Messi and other top players "would get bored and not want to come and wear the Argentina shirt."
Maradona also continued his running battle with Grondona.
"Here Don Julio (Grondona) does what he wants, and if they don't realize he's doing a bad job, what can I do?" Maradona said. "God help them."
He also rejected any suggestion he would return as Argentina coach. He has signed to coach Dubai team Al Wasl.
"I had to go to Dubai to find a job, unfortunately far from my country," Maradona said.
