I have no idea how I'm going to use this in my game, but it's awesome! Thank you for sharing! :-)

If you would like a Dutch translation I would be happy to give it a shot, but I can't guarantee to get it finished soon as I am working on several projects of my own at the moment as well - and I guess I need some time for real life too! :-)

Hi!
Thank you for your kind comment. If you are serious about a Dutch translation, it would be great, just PM us if you ever get to it.
Not actually evil.

Woah. Woah, woah, woah! There's a lot to digest in the post so I admit that I just skimmed it (going back to read closer, now...), but, uh, historical-game-friendly nautical careers? (and a lot of other goodies, it looks like, too?) As someone who plays a historicalish hood that is very much entrenched in piracy, yes please!

Fantabulous? haha, thank you CatOEG! :D
Gotta say I had to look up 'paraphernelia' there, lol.

Legislacerator, lol. Is it digested yet? :P

Thank you Catherine!
And indeed, thanks MTS staff for the Star btw! :D
I hope people will find it interesting, simple to get together and working fine in their game.

We listened to you people about the file sizes and we made a compromise! Have a look at the upload now! :D

I wasn't "complaining" at all! XD I was actually saying more along the lines of, "I can't use this, but I am incredibly impressed with the amount of detail and hard work in this set, so I will thank you anyway." Nevertheless, thank you for the smaller files. Ah! I also forgot in my original post: Congrats on the picked upload!

True, you were rather pointing at the obvious.
Our file sizes were a little too ambitious for a set of Careers! lol. And now a lot more people can use this. :D

Lots of links or lots of files?

Lots of Links > Our list of external downloads has been redone. Less messy/scary now. :P
Lots of Files > Our list of files to download here has been redone too! Two redundant versions (10 files) have been removed!

I am blown away by the creativity and dedication! Seriously considering converting my game into older times just so I can use this career (and have it make sense) ha! Really am impressed.

Girl,
your comment really hits me at the heart today. It's not going very well for me at work this week; so, the fact that you love this, and think it's great, it really means a lot to me. Thank you!

This is beautiful thank you so much. Makes it worth the effort to create a medievalish game!

Thank you so much!
There's a lot of great 'ancient' content on MTS, it's fun to bring a good context to put them all together.
I hope people will also try the chance cards. When we wrote them, we tried to imagine what could have been the everyday reality of a navigator from that time. It seems all so romantic from the comfort of our homes and modern life, but these people had to be super healthy - and a bit crazy- to get a job on a ship. Each day you could never know if you'll still be alive tomorrow, lol.

Wow this is awesome! The well thought out career names and levels, the fact that there are chance cards, all the extra details and goodies! I'm especially excited to see what the career rewards do (must not open spoiler) and I love that you have the customization options. I'm taking one 'fully-loaded' for my medieval hood and a customizable for my Victorian hood. Can't wait to play these in game!

My Oh my, where to start? The costumes! And custom made rewards! And the icons - I love the icons. Love the skull&bones, love the beautiful ship and the compass ... it's so amazing. And the book covers! I am such a sucker for beautiful books. If I look at the covers to long, my brain short-circuits, the design is so lovely.

Thanks so much for creating this! I'm all in a glow to see these in-game.

We did not make the costumes. At the exception of the female Pirate Captain's outfit, all the outfits were created by some of the best creators on MTS, the complete list is on the post.

That being said, thank you draconiankelly, prissybai and topicmai for stopping by, and thank you so much Renatti and alchemist for such lovely, positive and encouraging comments!
