Has anyone done this for Farshore yet using the Pathfinder rules?
Not yet I haven't, and if someone beats me to it, thats great.
What I was planning on doing was running Farshore with the Kingmaker Kingdom system. I will post the "Starting" stats for Farshore for that once I figure them out, in case anyone else has similar plans.

Excellent! It seems that you and I are thinking along the same lines once again. Hmm...I have yet to read over the latest Kingmaker mass combat rules, but will have to implement that into my attack on Farshore.
Do you mean stats for the people that live there? I've done that for quite a few of the NPCs.
Or something else?
Pathfinder does the city stat block a bit differently from 3.5, at least as far as I can tell from the Gamemaster's Guide.
I'm pretty sure thats the Stats were talking about, at least for now.
To keep the thread going, howabout we post any sort of Farshore stats, mods, ideas, or such?
I'll admit, between the demonic presence on the island and me watching a bit too much Black Lagoon, I want to make a "Church of Blessed Violence", a neutral territory semi-mercenary chapel for devout adventuring/crusading types. The idea struck me as amusing, especially in a backwater crapsack place like the Isle of Dread, where different faiths might put aside their issues to deal with things like the occasional rampagin demon or dinosaur. Could be tied in with the Curch of the Whirling Fury, or replace it, which I may do in my game since the CotWF hasn't yet had any impact in the story.

I did it... but in Italian. ^_^

Now that I have the GMG, I did Farshore, and the other cities. Enjoy. The lesser Olman villages make use of a quality that I established called poor, which cuts their values in half for items.

Wow, this is great!
After a long talk with my players, I felt that now would be a good time to take a more sandbox approach to this AP. As such, I am incorporating the kingdom-building elements of Kingmaker into Savage Tide. Moreover, we will use the mass combat rules outlined in PF 35 to adjudicate the battle for Farshore.
After the battle is over, my players have expressed an interest in colonizing the rest of the island. They want to make a permanent island nation on the Isle of Dread and set themselves up as lords/ladies -- a notion which I am more than happy to oblige. Thus, I will overlay a hex map over the Isle of Dread and run my STAP Kingmaker style. (Any ideas on how to do this?)
Between school, work and the game, I'll be pretty busy, but I'll try to post updates.
Already did the hex map overlay, I can email them to you if you want. I'd be well ahead of you, but my gaming group had to go on indefinite hiatus due to financial issues and a new baby.
I've been working on a few modifications to the events table and some of the natural resources on the isle. Just makes sense to me, bandits just arent going to be a problem on the isle of dread. Pirates, yes, but thats a fairly different thing. And the terrain in general is just different from the default fantasy expectation that Kingmaker is built on. So I implemented some rules for fishing and such. I can send that as well if you want. Just give me an email to fire them to.
Black Bard, that would be a godsend! My campaign was put on indefinite hold as well due to players moving away -- I'm in the process of resurrecting it online.
Have you played through the invasion of Farshore at the end of Tides of Dread yet?
