RECENT VERSION: BUILD 13 FINAL
Pirates of the Caribbean is a very nice pirate Role Playing Game for PC. Although the game was far from great, it was certainly good fun, apart from the bugs. Fortunately for the players, the game could easily be modified and that is how the Build modpack began. The Build contained all good mods joined into one package for easy installation. I started messing around with modding after Build 12 was released. I made a couple of small mods myself and added all mods that other people made into what soon became a major add-on for Build 12. Finally, two years after the release of Build 12, this modpack has been released as Build 13, introducing many new bugfixes, features, mods, character models, locations, items and yet again enhancing the game quite a lot.
Build 13 Final is the final full installation version for Build 13. Work is in progress on Build 14, for which several Alpha versions are available for public testing here. Please note that these versions are not completely stable and contain several bugs, ranging from not so bad to gamekilling. Build 13 is recommended for those who just want to play the game. Only get the Build 14 Alpha versions when you want to work as an alpha tester for the modding team.
Please ensure that you back up your base install of PotC as re-installing the game takes longer and is not necessary.
It is also a good idea to back up for each build as the update process has been known to go wrong in cases.

Ahoy fellow pirates, privateers, naval officers, whatever kind of sailor you are!
New Horizons on Maelstrom has come quite far recently thanks to the efforts of ChezJfrey, Mirsaneli, and Mitrokosta. And these awesome skyboxes are the work of Modernknight1.
This means that the latest version of PotC: NH is close to fully playable there, and things that don't yet work are being fixed.
To showcase this, these two videos have been uploaded to our YouTube channel; courtesy of Mirsaneli. (As are the screenshots here.)
If you want to get the engine it is available from here: Gentlemen of Fortune: Maelstrom by ChezJfrey And the mod from here: New Horizons by ChezJfrey
A few of the benefits of this are that you won't need any extra workarounds if you have an Intel iGPU, and that you won't have to limit the FPS to 60 in Windows 10. Also it will look and run better than Storm 2.0. There are other improvements, but for the sake of simplicity I won't list them all here.
May ye have a jolly time, the sea awaits you.

Essentially, as a PC novice, running Windows 7, how much cursing and crying will it take for me to run this absolute beaut of a game?
Thanks!

It runs just fine for me on win 7 and win 8. The only thing to be concerned about is that if you install it into program files windoze security will stop it from running.
Build 13 development stopped years ago and and the current version is Build 14. It can be found here.
