Corsairs gpk officers. Passage of game Corsairs: City of lost ships. How to develop skills and what they give

City of Lost Ships is the strongest game with many game possibilities and development paths. Dozens of tasks, both random, generated during the game, and fixed - national lines or single tasks, for example, the task of the City of Lost Ships. This huge variety of possibilities, among other things, attracts the fact that the universal development of the character is simply No.

Therefore, I say in advance that everything that is written here is just advice. The choice is still yours.

About the place of action and nations

The 17th century Caribbean is primarily the battlefield of the great European powers for great colonial wealth. Having discovered America in 1493, Columbus simply had no idea what kind of time bomb he was placing under the world order. The first, with full rights (in 1493, Pope Alexander VI signed a decree, the main content of which was the division of the undeveloped world between Portugal and Spain, America almost entirely went to Spain), the Spaniards master the Caribbean, monopolizing the extraction of sugar, coffee and gold. It is not surprising that such wealth attracted the attention of other European powers - England, France, and later, the newly independent Netherlands. However, the struggle with Spain, which owns almost all the Caribbean, is not an easy task. As a result, in total, England, France and Holland accounted for about a third of the West Indies (as the islands of the Caribbean were called).

So, 4 nations are available for the game: England, France, Holland, Spain.

Let's start?

Let's start?

The choice of the nation is one of the key aspects affecting the beginning of the game. Specifically, from this choice, a different number of ports will be available, which can greatly complicate movement in the Caribbean. Therefore, I built a kind of scale for the attractiveness of nations, on the principle of how comfortable the game is for a beginner or a merchant.

The most successful choice for a novice player or a trader player will undoubtedly be Holland... A peaceful nation made rich by trade. At the start of the game - Holland is at peace with France and Spain - and this is the entire Maine (continental game world), Cuba, Hispaniolla and a few more islands. The richest space for trading or mastering the game world.

In second place in terms of convenience for starting the game is Spain... Spain is in peace only with Holland, which, in comparison with the latter, reduces the number of islands to which one can sail to a small proportion of the French colonies. As a Spaniard, you can feel like the master of the Caribbean, making raids along the coast of southern Maine or Hispaniolla (which also has a French colony).

In third place will be France which is at peace with Holland and England. The French get a third of the Caribbean to develop.

Well, the best country for privateers, as you can see, is England... The British have enemies Spain and Holland. The entire Maine is completely ready for capture.

PIRATES

In the role-playing system of the game there are 7 main characteristics, 14 skills and 4 dozen personal and ship skills of the hero. Let's start in order.

Specifications

First, in general. Each characteristic affects the initial value of the skill and the threshold of experience that must be overcome in order to go to new level in skill. In addition, the learning skill affects the threshold of experience in rank growth and gaining skills, as well as the threshold of experience in each skill. It follows that all the characteristics are needed in general, is this so?

Let's start?

Let's start?

Strength (P) - affects the initial health of the character, as well as the maximum allowable weight, and hence the conclusion that it is in no way possible to throw it. Each unit of strength adds 10 feet to the weight you carry. And if you are not going to carry with you all the weapons of the game, then 5-6 units of power will be more than enough for a comfortable game.

Let's start?

Perception (I) - affects ... yes, it does not affect anything except the growth of navigation. And hence the very simple conclusion. 3 units in perception will be enough. It is better to direct the freed glasses into the most valuable reaction or luck.

Let's start?

Reaction (R) - this is it, the main skill for any swordsman, because it is this skill that directly determines the character's energy level. Each point of reaction adds 10 units to energy. And here the decisive factor is what you will use to fence. Light weapons require less energy, but they cannot kill the enemy with two hits (medium weapons, as for me, are not worth attention at all, either energy or damage). So, for fencing with a light weapon, 5 units in reaction are enough, but for a heavy one you need at least 8 (and then, I would not say that with 8 it is comfortable to fence with a heavy weapon).

Let's start?

Leadership (A) - determines the number of officers a character can hire. According to the formula n = A * 2, where n is the number of officers. At the same time, the calculation does not include officers who are on ships in port administrations, or who are governors in colonies. Free privateers, which can be found in taverns, are also not counted. And hence the question, why a lot of leadership, if a good third of all officers can be hired with any number of officers? 4-5 units, no more.

Let's start?

Trainability (T) is a key skill that determines the speed of character development in this game. With maximum trainability, to obtain a rank, you need to raise skills in total 25 times, to obtain a personal or sea skill of a hero, raise personal and sea skills 30 times, respectively. For a fairly comfortable game (for me personally), 7-8 units of learning ability are enough.

Let's start?

Endurance (E) - determines the initial number of hit points and their growth per level. It also affects the maximum allowable weight for the character to carry. Accordingly, keep in mind that you should only take odd values ​​of stamina. Otherwise, you will lose more than you gain.

Let's start?

Luck (S) - Any good luck gentleman needs luck. The most important thing is that luck, like luck, affects the likelihood of finding useful things in chests and hoards. Walk with little luck? Collect a collection of cormorants. But the maximum luck is also not needed, because on high levels luck is still more important than luck. 6-7 units is enough.

Let's start?

How to develop skills and what do they give?

Let's start?

Personal skills relate directly to the character, and accordingly, it is possible to fill in the gaps in them only with the help of artifacts. Do not rely on officers, swing by yourself.

Let's start?

Authority, as it should be, affects the respect for the character. The higher the authority, the more sailors you can hire in the tavern, the less you can pay officers and the higher the chance of surrendering the captain of an enemy ship.

Authority develops in several ways. First, these are the tasks of the governors. Secondly, the authority grows itself when you hire sailors in the tavern or kill your opponent or win sea ​​battle, i.e. Think about the growth of authority with active game- not worth it. Will grow itself.

Let's start?

In general, fencing in this game should probably be given a separate post. Above in the text, I have already spoken about different types weapons. It's time to paint everything in detail. In fact, a weapon has 3 characteristics: minimum damage, maximum damage - which can be seen in its description - and energy consumption per hit (generally speaking, attacks are different, but I am generalizing), which is hidden in the type of weapon. However, even weapons of the same type have different energy consumption per strike (compare the strike of a dagger and a rapier - both belong to the class of light weapons). The longest time you can fence with light weapons, however, its main problem is that you cannot kill the enemy with a couple of swings of the blade, and the enemy can be healed. Therefore, the battles are dragging on. The fastest way to cut the enemy is with heavy blades, finishing off after a pistol shot is especially good. And the middle between this ... In general, this is only for those who have glasses in reaction for heavy weapons lacks. Either fight for a long time, or quickly, but of course everything is to your taste.

The easiest way to strike weapons in taverns in duels is 1-2 opponents, not very strong. True, glory creeps quickly and after the second tavern there will be no one to fight with. Everyone is afraid.

You can go to the nearest cave, but as soon as you run into high-level skeletons - run, plus - there is a very high chance of getting poisoned. And of course any fight is always at your service.

Let's start?

Everything depends on the pistols, if the reloading is on and a lot if it is not there. A well-aimed shooter is able to kill an enemy with one shot. This also applies to opponents. Run in circles - wait for the enemy's shot, and only then join the fencing duel. The higher the skill, the more damage and accuracy.

It develops very simply. - shots.

Let's start?

As already mentioned - what a pirate without luck? Needed everywhere and always. The bullet will fly by, the enemy's ship will fly to pieces from a critical hit, there will be no cormorants in the treasure ...

It grows always and everywhere. But purposefully swing the game of dice, you can earn money ... (namely dice, the chance to win in them depends not only on the computer, but also on you personally, and the cards are pure luck).

Let's start?

Stealth is needed when smuggling (there are no patrols and ships in the bay) and when entering an enemy city. Under the friendly flag of the nation, you can sail directly into the port.

Swings in the same cases as needed.

Let's start?

The main difference between naval skills and personal skills is that the imbalance in their development can and should be closed by good officers. There is not enough navigation level for the frigate - a navigator was hired! We want to make money by trading - the treasurer is at your service! And hence one more conclusion - at the initial stages of the game without officers it is very, very difficult.

Let's start?

Let's start?

Navigation is the most important skill for any pirate. If the level of navigation is low to control your ship, your character will receive significant penalties to characteristics and skills. If the level is high, then more speed and maneuverability can be survived from the ship.

Answer: No way. Things will transfer themselves to the new ship.

Question: Captain Blood's quests. How to defeat a villain sitting in a brothel?
Answer: The easiest way is to arrange a meeting outside the city gates. Before you go to fight with him, steal the bottles of life, otherwise it will be very difficult to win! In battle with him, use a trample, nothing else can take him. Keep a short distance, otherwise he will shoot you every time. If you feel that you cannot win, start the game over. When creating a character, make sure that the value of the skill "light weapon" is the highest. It will be much easier this way!

Question: Captain Blood's quests. Well, how can I free my blond comrade? It's also full of guards! If I kill everyone, relations with England deteriorate ...

Question: Captain Blood's quests. How to get away from the pursuit on this slow and stupid frigate ?!
