Tell that to the peasants, damsels, slave soldiers, heroes, bugeyes, and lokk'narrs, who have far more believable names than the ubers. Or perhaps those names are pseudonyms as well?

you ever heard of the concept of "nicknames"? it's a thing in wild west and mafia flicks, as well as in pirate stories of old :3

How do you use those licenses you get from the Theban start to get the actual slaves?

research, then workshop

I found a ladder that doesn't seem to work.  It also has a wet sound when I have an agent step on it.

you have to wait until the concrete has dried

i re-installed piratez believing it's the new M3.2.1 version, but the new save still says "piratez ver: v.M3.0.1 OXCE 7.1.4 20-Oct-2021".
and it still crashes
attached is the save - let it run and click through the equip screen before the battle starts (mission itself will start fine though)
i'm doing sth wrong, but what?

i lost another game after 14 months with a whooping -6800 score. While Iazo and Greep give good advice (still: all the codex crafts rely on the mercy of Aren Jesus, which might grant you or not the shadowmasters tech), imo the most important thing is tackling the ninja base by whatever means necessary. The base constantly spams crafts which hover long enough to tank any score you might get by sucessful missions.

still found no way to get rid off theit turrets, which shreded my truck in two turns

Yeah, light weapons got split into light and "ground", of which the buckaroo uses ground instead.  Early game this is just 14mm chainguns, gotten from necroparts recycling.  So you'll need an aircar for now or something.  Or use airballs (DV) I guess.

alright, that's what the [GR] stands for, thx Greep. I mounted some airballs on it, never used them before.

so i survived my first year, but didn't have any luck in getting the shadowmasters tech.
Solution: build a buckaroo
Problem: the game won't let me strap 25mm guns on it despite having light weapon slots
am i misreading sth?

The latest piratez version is 3.2.1, so perhaps the bug has been fixed and that's why Solarius isn't getting it.

thx, downloading right now

Doesn't crash for me.

hm, it crashed three times in a row, so i assumed consistency. One hour ago i had another crash on a extreme cold mission with the same message as Berggen has posted.  i have game version M3.0.1., should be the most up to date.
I'm not a modder, but there's something going on with those polar maps.

Spoiler:

the game got also insanely hard

thanks for the replies

@Iazo: i don't know what tonks are, but they were definetily lacking. but i guess you're right with the structural problems...
-fastest ship: airbus
-most dakka ship: little bird
-best armour: the eight pieces of agressor suits from red codex
-best weapons: 1 boarding gun, 2 spitfires, 1 autogun (from a spartan progrom)
i decided to go all in for brainers, but their salaries ate up my funds. i postponed the codex stuff for too long and had the workshop only in september.. OTH i don't believe that researching nurses, silver bars and bandit smg's will make up for -2500 points, but maybe i'm wrong. (having chosen the male path, i wanted to get the big pink "pigeonturtle" ship for my SS army, but i don't even know if it's still in the game)

@Mathel: sounds good, but what if you don't have a mortar? also, there's not really cover apart from the gov bunker, because all the other buildings are only one tile high so the ninja turrets will happily shred you
>Once you take out the cannons and the flying ninjas
yeah :DDD (i took out two turrets with incendiary nades)

@Gremlion
>Red Alert
oh fff thx a lot :3. i was so stressed by the constant screen flicker/level shifting when the turrets kick in...
>EMP grenades, kustom shooty gun
didn't have either
>invisible suicide bombers with melee
okay that explains at least two deaths. i'm playing on diff 4, so there might be more than three. what to do with the bomb if you pick it up - hopefully it can be disarmed?

anyway, i restarted, if it goes south again i will lower the difficulty

i decided to come back to XPiratez after i got a bit bored by grinding allyums in XFiles. My first run with the new sky ninja version lastet till october where i lost my six best gals and racked a negative score for the second time in a row.
Any tips on how to survive (maybe even win) the ninja girl assault on the government general (the one with the nerve wracking industrial metal soundtrack)?

Spoiler:

yeah, don't get hit. easier said than done.
