Okay, so its been a long time since the project died, and im glad to announce that i'm going to have another go at this project. Any interested individuals, old team members should contact me if your interested in starting again!
The reason for the failure last time was a lack of a character artist, this meant that no matter how hard we worked, we'd never be able to release a beta, alpha or version 1 of the mod. So first things first, anyone who can model, texture and get characters into source, PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA PM!
I would also like to say that the name has been changed to Pirate Lore, i have none of the old assets, maps, or anything, after a format a few months back, so we're starting from nothing!
Thank you.

Love this! Dont die. Good luck guys!
really nice mod dont die on us now :P
There is no plan to do that, we will have a few new screens within the next week :D
We now have a blog linked from our website, check it out for more up-to date updates :P
Thanks.
This mod remind me of the mod Pirates, Knights and Viking II
The only thing this mod will have in common with PVKII is that it features pirates as a playable character, PVKII, great as it is, is a lot like UT in gameplay, very fast pased, no tactics needed. Whereas, the world in PotE is actually destructable. Ships are destroyed, cannons are fired, and we are going for a more gritty and realistic type of mod too.
Like BF Pirates :), except better, better engine, plus all the stuff you said. This won't have undead though, will it?
No, New World vs. Caribbean Pirates are included, prehaps extra teams at a much later date.
By New World do you mean the British/French/East India Company etc.? That would be pretty cool, id look forward to seeing the contrasts between them and the Pirates.
In essense, the New World Pirates are those pirates who raided the aztec temples for gold. They worked for the empires in europe and were classier in general than caribbean pirates. So you could say they are yes, although not actually the Royal Navy, they worked for the monarch.
