Thanks heaps. Always nice to have someone looking out for you.

Sounds interesting.

Now I'm guessing that by guns you are not referring to the great, big,
lovely, glorious, noisy, messy, dangerous, wontonly destructive guns that
great big lovely (etc) ships used to poke out of little ports in their
sides, to generally frighten anybody else into submission. Maybe these are
called cannon in Castle?
We don't tend to use repeater rifles or revolvers (à la Western), and I
could do without the musket and the blunderbuss (I guess .... for a little
while, anyway .... probably) but ships without cannons? What would be the
point ;-)
And I'm not sure how red coats and blue coats would go, armed only with
swords pikes and lances.
But I'm thinking about it :-)

I'm afraid I'm not all that up on the idea. I did have a peek at the site,
but the history page is a bit light on, just at the mo'. What sort of era
did you have in mind. Port Block is sort of 1820's (ish, actually extremely
ish) which I'm guessing is a bit outside your parameters, no?
Time to go lurking around .castle I guess. Never thought I'd ever do that!
