Metal hook attached to the end of the cable. FAQ for the game KVL: City of Lost Ships. I can't find the settlement I need

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?

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 in a naval battle, i.e. Thinking about the growth of authority with an active game is 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.

genre: RPG

System requirements: Windows XP (Russian), Pentium IV 1.5 GHz, 256 MB RAM, 64 MB 3D video card (GeForce 4 level and higher, except for built-in and MX series), sound card, 7.2 GB available hard disk space, 24x CD-ROM (8x DVD-ROM), keyboard, mouse, DirectX 9.0c or higher

Technical problems

Does the GPK work under Vista, windows x64 and any non-Russian version of Windows?

Works, but we are not talking about official compatibility. In Vista, if you have problems with sound - put "safe mode" in config.exe.

In-game brakes and crashes

1 Make sure your computer meets the requirements of the game.

2 Disable antivirus, firewall and other unnecessary programs. The fewer programs, the better. This is especially true for such a program as Puntoswitcher - problems with him are guaranteed.

3 Update the drivers, especially if they are standard and installed accordingly with the system. In general, there are few video settings in the game itself, so you will have to configure it for the most part in the settings of the video card itself. Also, do not forget to update the drivers for zvukovuh, especially if you have an AC "97, otherwise you will also have a" stuttering "sound, among other things.

4 Install the latest DirectX.

5 Reduce the graphics settings in the game through the config.exe file, which is located in the folder where you have the game installed.

6. Increase the paging file if necessary. My Computer> Properties> Advanced> Performance> Advanced> Memory.

7. It is possible that your system does not have a set of C-shnyh and other libraries. They are not installed by default in 64-bit OS, they come with software. Copy legend.seaward.ru/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=12968 to the game directory where the exe files are located.

8. The save / load combination is often used (especially when choosing the desired result). In this case, the game may "crash" when changing locations. The solution is to restart the game from time to time.

9. It is believed that the game is unstable under SP2.

10. Check the system for viruses.

11. During the game, the Internet messenger is enabled with the option to display messages on top of all windows.

12. The save / load combination is often used (especially when selecting the desired result every 50-100 times), which, due to the peculiarities of the engine, can lead to crashes when unloading new location... To avoid this, restart the game after a lot of use of this combination.

13. Try to create a start.bat file with the following content start / affinity 1 engine.exe in the game folder and start the game with it.

How do I set the game resolution for a widescreen monitor?

Open the Engine.ini file in the game folder with any text editor and manually set the desired resolution. Don't forget to make a backup.

False detection of emulators

The patch fixes false detection of emulators if you have a raid array mounted on the Intel chipset. Unzip to the game folder, replacing the old files with the new ones from the patch. help.starforce.ru/corsairs_rl/corsairs.rar False detection of emulators can also occur if you have the Alchogol 120% emulator installed and the "Ignore media type" option is active in it. Disable this option and everything will work. If the emulator is not installed, but the error still occurs, then you once deleted it, but the system still contains drivers from the emulator. They work and need to be removed. There is another option - install the emulator again, deactivate this option and play to your health.

In config.exe, the video card is not detected, it says "primary video adapter" and there are no choices.

The "primary video adapter" is your default video card, so it's okay, just a little weird.

What is the postprocessing option in config.exe?

Enabling post-processing smooths out sharp edges, corners and transitions in the picture, but requires additional resources, so performance on a weak system can drop dramatically. So if there are brakes, it's better to turn them off. However, there is an opinion that this particular option has a very adverse effect on the game, and that it is better to disable it, but force anti-aliasing in the video card settings.

Display settings unavailable

Display settings only work in full screen mode.

The game crashes when minimized in Windows

If you want to use the Alt-Tab combination (for example, when hacking through ArtMoney), then you need to launch the game in windowed mode... To do this, you need to find the config.exe file in the folder where the game is installed and make the appropriate amendments there - uncheck the box next to the " full screen mode". The required permission can be set in engine.ini in the game folder.

I launch the game, a skull is spinning on the screen ... and that's it!

Codec problem. Especially often super-mega-codec-packs give such a problem (especially problems with fddshow), so you may have to deal with them a little, or just remove or turn off the option like "always use" (depending on the pack). The codec required for playing video in the game is included on the game disc. If for some reason you do not want to demolish the installed codec packs - delete the video in the game folder.

When conducting a battle, the strike switch does not always work the first time - the Shift key

The reason is the specificity of handling frequent keystrokes of the Shift key in Windows XP and older. Solution - Often press the Shift key until the Accessibility options window appears. - In the window that appears, press the upper settings button (sticky key settings. Use stickyKeys) - In the window that appears, remove the upper checkbox (use shortcut) - Click OK to exit the settings.

How do I add a new character to the game?

In the folder with the game ResourceInitextsrussian there is a file, HeroDescribe, which contains all the instructions on how to create your new character. To simply add more Persians, it is enough to change the hero_qty (3) parameter in the same file, you need to set parameter 18. New models can be found in the modifications.

How do I view and edit textures?

To do this, you need the Convertor TX utility -. In the right window, select the desired texture, in the left window, specify the path to save.

Can't configure buttons to control the game.

If for some reason you want to customize the control keys, which is not configurable in the game (the key is already taken), then at your own peril and risk (maybe you can overdo it and configure conflicting button combinations - one press 3 actions) you climb into the folder with the game SAVE profile name options options there with a text editor (Notepad, etc.) look for controls.primaryland.ChrForward = key_w and change some buttons to what you want VK_UP up arrow VK_RIGHT - right VK_DOWN - down VK_LEFT - left VK_INSERT VK_DELETE key_w - and other letters (buttons on the keyboard with letters) see in the file - they are there. Important: there should be no conflicting intersections with system buttons (for example Enter and Esc)

After installing the game and writing the security code from the disc, when you start the game, the following appears: ATTENTION! A product with no disc in the drive will expire soon. To reactivate, you will need to insert the licensed disc into the drive and restart the application. The app is valid for a limited time: 2 days left. 23 hours 55 minutes Expiration time: December 2, 2007 at 21:22.

Runtime Error!

1. Install the game in the default directory, especially if there are folders with the name in Russian in the path to the game. 2. Do you have a licensed version or from a torrent? 3. You installed the patch incorrectly or installed it twice.

Game questions

No way. They can only equip one quest officer.

Health has dropped and is not being restored!

In the usual way (sleep in a tavern, sail on the global map), it is restored if the letters of health are gray, if the letters are gold, then you will have to look for help in the church.

No, it is not in the CPC, although there is an opportunity to acquire an English patent.

Playing as Blood, what to do with Cinco Llagas?

Since the ship at the beginning of the game is not available to the main player according to its characteristics, it is better to leave it in the port department or transfer it to an officer. I do not advise selling - the ship is unique.

I play for Blood, the officers are asking for an incredible amount of salary!

Pitt, of course, is worth the money he is asking for - where else on level 1 will you find such an officer? Well, a lot depends on the level of difficulty, many complained that they had nowhere to put their money, so they got it ... Hire a good Treasurer and acquire items that increase Authority and Trade. If you continue to sail on the Cinco Llagas and your skills are minus, then on the night of the first day (payday) you need to transfer to a ship of a suitable level.

Where to look for stones for the usurer?

Look along paths, walls, on bumps, along the edges of locations. Look carefully at the ground - usually these stones are clearly visible.

Morgan escaped with the money after the capture of Panama, what to do?

Alas, you were simply deceived. You need to sail to Port Royal and talk to Morgan's secretary, who will explain that Morgan has left for Europe and will only return in a year. After a year, you can visit Morgan, but you will not see the money.

When I play in a tavern, it feels like the computer is cheating - he has poker all the time!

Well, it is possible that you just have very low luck, well, or there is a really rogue in front of you, try to talk to him after the game, an additional thread may appear in the dialogue.

I was offered the bluebird quest, but I refused because of the low level.

There will be no second opportunity to get this quest.

Character development

What is PIRATES and what is it eaten with :)
For those who once played the PKM: VML add-on, this system is known under the name S.P.E.C.I.A.L., and everything that you know from there can be applied even now. This system allows you to create a unique GG in its characteristics. Each characteristic varies from 3 to 10 points, and a total of 42 are given and your task is to distribute them in the best way for yourself. That is, think about how you would like to see your GG - let's say a good skipper, trader or professional swordsman, and on this basis distribute skills. That is, let's say for the skipper you need first of all navigation - it depends on Perception and Learning and so on. There is no single solution here, how many people - so many opinions that it is better to choose. My personal opinion is that it is better to create a GG station wagon than one with a narrow profile (that is, some skill is raised to 10, and some have very low values).

What does character class mean?
There are 3 classes in total: adventurer, merchant and corsair. Unlike many other RPGs, this distinction is very conditional and affects only the initial distribution of skill points and the property with which the player starts.

Hero rank
The indicator of the character's level in the game changes depending on the experience gained by the character. As the rank increases, the HP's Life also increases by an amount depending on Stamina. The rank does not affect the receipt of perks (abilities).

Hero Perks
Perks are additional abilities of the hero. They are divided into 2 groups - personal and ship. Accordingly, each group of these skills has its own threshold of experience for obtaining the next perk. Before choosing a perk, carefully read what it gives and decide which is more important to you in this moment... Some perks can be "closed" with the help of officers who are assigned to a suitable position. But this applies to those perks that work automatically.
If you pump evenly personal and ship skills, then perks will be given less often.

Is it possible to get all the perks?
If you have a trainability of 10, then 20 personal perks can be collected, but 37 ship perks cannot be obtained in any way.

Why reputation is needed?
Reputation is a kind of indicator of your popularity in the Caribbean. It can be low (negative) or high (positive). Depends on your actions. And it depends on your reputation how other characters in the game react to you. Moreover, the reputation tends to gradually strive for the mark "Ordinary sailor" in the event that you do nothing, the good falls faster, the bad rises more slowly, respectively.

How to download skills?
The general rule is that what you do is pumped :)
AUTHORITY
Swing when you command people. Let's say you took a ship on board, captured a colony, or you are doing some quests, for example, a loan shark's quests for repayment of a debt, delivery of goods, and so on.
LIGHT / MEDIUM / HEAVY WEAPONS, PISTOLS
It's simple - what weapon you have in your hands, that skill increases. For a description of the weapon, see its properties, the type is indicated there.
LUCK
Play games of chance - with every win, your luck increases. In addition, every successful salvo of the ship and a successful fight affects.
SECRET
1. Trade with smugglers.
2. Sneak into a hostile city and spend the night there in a tavern, and during the day walk in front of the guards. As an option - buy yourself a trade license, then the security will definitely not pay attention to you. The main thing is that your ship has a flag that is hostile to the city, so enter in this case through the bay.
3. Successful sailing under a false flag.
4. Unsuccessful walk in front of the guard of a hostile city.
5. Cheating OZGov.
NAVIGATION
1. At sea battle.
2. In a storm, especially if the ship is directed against the wind. An expensive method, of course, but then you will also upgrade the team's skills.
3. The map does not swing.
POINT / CANNONS
Ship guns are not for decoration :) Shoot more often and more accurately.
BOARDING
Here the name is clear.
PROTECTION
Boarding and naval battles.
REPAIR
Repair the ship at the shipyard or at sea (there must be boards and canvas in the hold).
TRADE
Buy / sell goods / personal items in the store. When trading with smugglers, the level does not increase.

I met a man, he told me that there are teachers who can improve their skills for money
There are indeed such teachers in the game, but it is almost impossible to meet them. Look for these outside the city, in shops, churches. In houses and on the streets of the city they are not exactly.

Artifacts and all that
Some items in the game tend to increase or decrease certain properties. Read the descriptions of the items carefully and do not put any nasty things like shoes and cormorants in your pockets. The artifact only works when the GG carries it with him. In the case when the skills of the GG reach a maximum of 100 points, the artifact that affects this skill will no longer affect him, so you can sell it, give it to an officer, or just put it in a chest for a long memory;)

Geographic issues

I can't find the settlement I need.

Buy geographic map at the merchant, on the global map, slow down the time and press TAB to look around. Also, since the real geography of the Caribbean is saved in the game, you can even use a real map.

Where is Fort Orange?

In Jamaica, there is no port, so you have to walk. In this case, it is advisable to have a map of Jamaica.

Where can I find Maine?

This is not an island or a city, but the name of the mainland's coastline. Look in the west and south, there is no single map for it, but you can buy maps of its individual parts.

Where to find Belize, Santa Catalina, Porto Bello, Panama, Cartagena, Maracaibo, Caracas, Cumana?

All these are the cities of Maine.

Where is Tenochtitlan located?

Buy a map of pearl crafts, and there you will clearly see.

How to get inland?

No way. If you go to a certain location, but are at a dead end, then you need to go back and look for another way, most likely you just went in the wrong place.

All settlements are not displayed on the global map.

Some settlements are located far in the jungle, so you can't see them from the coast :)

Where can I find the GPK?

Swim in the area indicated to you and wait for the storm (of course, all this during the quest), then use "swim to".

Pirate storyline

Swim to Bermuda. There, contact Jackman with a job offer. Jackman will say that at the moment he has no assignments, but Captain Goodley, who is currently in Puerto Principe, Cuba, needs help, and will offer to meet with him and discuss the details.

Go to Cuba in Puerto Principe and find Captain Goodley in the tavern. When talking with him, it turns out that you need to take one type named John Bolton, who is waiting in the port of Puerto Principe, to Port Royal in Jamaica to Henry Morgan. Agree, saying that his service is an honor for you. Go to Puerto Principe Port and meet John Bolton there, take him on board and head to Jamaica.

In Port Royal, Jamaica, escort John Bolton to the Morgan house (the Morgan house with columns is on the left side of the city, if you go from the port). On the way to the house, you are stopped by British soldiers. The soldier commander says that you and John Bolton have been accused of having pirate ties. You are sent to prison pending clarification of the circumstances. However, you are freed by Morgan himself, who says that he paid a ransom for you and waits at his residence, after which he leaves.

At the residence, Morgan assigns the black mark to Edward Lowe, who lives somewhere in Martinique. Go to Martinique in Le François. On arrival, ask the innkeeper about Edward Lowe. It turns out that the innkeeper knows Lowe and he lives near the tavern. Exit the tavern and go right to the house, paneled with boards, where Lowe lives. Go into the house and, when talking with Edward, give him a black mark. Lowe will say that all problems with Morgan have already been resolved and will ask him to return the black mark back to Henry Morgan. Return back to Jamaica to Morgan.

After hearing the story, Morgan becomes furious and says that Lowe deceived you. To rectify the situation, Morgan instructs you to track down and deal with Lowe personally without any black marks. So quickly return to Le François and go to Edward Lowe's house. However, he had already left the house in an unknown direction. Go to the innkeeper and ask him about Lowe. The owner will confirm that Edward recently left the settlement, left his things for safekeeping, and where he himself could go, the owner of the tavern does not know. Go to the store and ask about Lowe. The merchant says that Edward came, was interested in the place where it would be possible to purchase a ship, but his business, the merchant, was to trade in goods, and not the ships that are sold at the shipyard. There is no shipyard in Le François, the nearest shipyard is in Fort-de-France. Either go there on foot across the island or by boat dock in the port of Fort-de-France.

First, go to the shipyard and ask the owner if Lowe has dropped by. It turns out that Lowe did come in and wanted to buy a ship (brig), but he had no money for such a ship and Edward went to the moneylender. Since then, the owner of the shipyard Lowe has not seen again.

Head over to the moneylender. He will say that Edward Lowe really came in and tried to borrow money, but the usurer immediately sees swindlers and deceivers, and therefore did not give Lowe a loan. Where Edward Lowe went next - he does not know.

From the moneylender, head to the port office. Ask the head of department about Edward Lowe. He asks: why are you interested in Edward Lowe. Answer that Low is your close friend and you must inform him about the serious illness of his mother, but you just can't catch up with Edward. The port manager takes this trick and says that Lowe boarded a passing ship that went to Bermuda.

In a settlement in Bermuda, head to the tavern, where its owner says that Lowe was here and was interested in the local shipyard. Go to the shipyard to the master Alexus. To the question of the master about who you are with Lowe, answer that you want to catch up with him in order to settle scores with him. The master begins to complain that the rogue Lowe forged Jackman's signature, and he (Alexus) gave Lowe a ship - the brig "Sea Wolf" with unique characteristics, which was built by order of Jackman. Go to Jackman. He is in a state of quiet rage over what happened and asks for only one thing, when we kill Lowe to send him greetings from Jackman. But where Lowe went on the kidnapped brig is unknown.

Ask the people in the taverns in the archipelago about rumors until someone tells you that there are more attacks on mail ships in the Kumana area on Maine. Head towards Kumane. If the ship is more powerful than the 6th class, then it must be parked in the port department of Kumane and any ship of the 6th class must be bought at the shipyard. After that, on this ship go out to sea and sail to the Trinidad and Tobago area. There you will meet Lowe in the brig. Take the brig on board, talk to Lowe, who says that Morgan's power will soon change. Kill him. Go to Morgan with a progress report.

Morgan offers to carry out an operation, the result of which will overshadow all of Sharpe's affairs. Namely, Morgan proposed to rob the pearl divers who would collect pearls on tartans for a month on the Turks Island in North Bay. Morgan offered to deliver at least 1,000 small and 500 large pearls. The profit is halved.

Make your way to North Turks Island Bay. There, pearl divers are already fishing on tartans under pirate flags. At the sight of you, they scatter away. You need to catch up with them and catch up with each tartan side by side, then the pearls will be automatically loaded into your inventory. Collect the required amount and return to Port Royal to Morgan, where you will hand over half of the loot.

At the exit from the Morgan's residence, Captain Goodley meets you and offers to work as a bounty hunter for a good reward. Target - John Avory, who was last seen in Willemstad (Kyrosau Island). Go there and go to the moneylender. The moneylender confirms that John Eyvory was here recently, but that he is no longer in the city. He heard that John was going to Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago. Go there. There, go to the moneylender. The Port of Spain moneylender says that Eyvory did work for him in the city, but after doing it, he left the city and went to the Spaniards on the Maine in the city of Maracaibo. The pawnbroker Maracaibo confirms that John was in the city, but according to rumors he overheard in a brothel, Avory went to the French in Port-au-Prince, on Hispaniola. In Port-au-Prince, the first thing to do is go to the tavern. The tavern owner says that John was here a couple of days ago and killed the sharper. You need to visit the moneylender. The usurer will tell you that Avory did some work for him. But where John went next is anyone's guess. Although the moneylender has an assumption that John could have gone to Willemstad, because a moneylender was recently robbed there. The usurer of Willemstad is still going through what happened, but this is not surprising, because an unknown person stole 50,000 piastres from him. He hired John Avory to find the robber. Also, the usurer promises to pay you 5,000 piastres for bringing the gold to the usurer first. John Avory himself went to Bermuda. The owner of a tavern in Bermuda confirms that John Avory is now on the island, or rather in the house of Orry Bruce, apparently a moneylender robber. The house is next to the tavern, go there. In the house you will meet John Avory and Orry Bruce, sorting out the relationship. Tell them that you have an order for both of them, then kill them and take valuable things from the corpses, and take away 50,000 piastres from Orry Bruce. You can return to the moneylender for a reward and report to Captain Goodley about the completed order.

Give the money lender of Willemstad, he pays you 5,000 piastres in return. You will find Captain Goodley in the Port Royal tavern and receive a reward from him, also tell him that you will now go to report to Morgan about your successes, to which Goodley only grins. Go to Morgan's Residence.

After hearing the story, Morgan says that John Avory was his confidant and you killed him. You explain that it was Captain Goodley's order. Morgan immediately calls the captain to sort out the situation. Goodley comes and says that he did not give you any orders. To sort out what happened, Morgan assigns a duel between you and Captain Goodley. Kill Goodley. Morgan says you have proven your innocence in this case.

Henry Morgan will ask you to go to Jackman in Bermuda and tell about Goodley's death.

Seeing you, Jackman is very surprised and says that you allegedly captured and handed over to the Spaniards to be torn apart by his captain Sid Bonnet. We'll have to figure it out. Jackman directs you to Cozumel Bay on Maine, where John Leeds anchored on the frigate Antwerp, with whom you need to talk. Head to Cozumel Bay.

There you are met by John Leeds on his frigate. Lower the boats into the water and climb aboard his ship. After a conversation with Leeds, it turns out that the team and the captain of the corvette sunk by Leeds have landed in Cozumel Bay. By the way, the captain of the corvette is very similar to you and, accordingly, all the sins of this captain hang on you. Therefore, you need to deal with your double. Land in the bay, where you will destroy part of the crew of the sunken corvette, but the captain is not among them. Go to the next location from the bay and meet the captain there, who really looks like you. The doppelganger says that he will tell everything if he and the team are released from the encirclement and allowed to quietly leave. Kill him and the rest of his team.

Then return to the ship and head to Bermuda to Jackman. Jackman, after listening to the story, sends you to Morgan with a report on what happened. Report the situation to Morgan.

Morgan will send you to catch up with the pirate Steve Linnaeus, whom he sent to La Vega, which is on Hispaniola, to find out a series of oddities that have recently been taking place in the Coastal Brotherhood. Go to La Vega.

Upon arrival, ask the innkeeper for help. He says he hasn't seen Steve Linnaeus for a while, but his friend just went out to sea. We need to intercept him. Go out to sea and catch up with Linnaeus's friend, who really did not have time to go far, and climb aboard. When talking to Steve's friend, a strange story emerges. According to him, Steve recently left with two strangers in an unknown direction and disappeared. And his schooner "Swallow" seems to be sold at the Santo Domingo shipyard. Linnaeus, according to a friend, would never have sold his ship willingly. Therefore, a friend of Linnaeus weighed anchor and went to sea, so that the story of Linnaeus would not repeat itself with him. In any case, check out the Santo Domingo shipyard.

The owner of the Santo Domingo shipyard said that the deal on the sale of the Swallow was the most successful, because it was given to him for a pittance. Under some pressure, the owner also says that he bought the "Swallow" from a guy who did not introduce himself, but the servant of the owner of the shipyard saw him go to sea on the frigate "Leon". According to the owner of the shipyard, the frigate must still cruise in the waters of Hispaniola. Go out to sea, on the global map, there you will see a ship with purple sails - this is the frigate "Leon", take it on board.

Captain "Leon" invites you to go over to the side of HIS admiral. This is Richard Soukins. He also says that their brotherhood needs people like you, and Henry Morgan himself was promoted to the position of admiral of the Coastal Brotherhood and no one elected him. In addition, the captain of the Leon reports that Steve Linnaeus is already at the bottom of the sea. Refuse the captain's offer and kill him. Head over to Morgan.

After the report, Morgan directs you to Puerto Principe, where, according to rumors, Richard Soukins is planning some kind of operation against the Spaniards, which must be disrupted. This will damage Sawkins' reputation among the pirates.

In Puerto Principe, go to the tavern and ask the tavern owner about the operation. He will answer that something is really planned now, but Soukins keeps all the details in the strictest confidence, even from his close associates, and is almost always sitting at home. We need to get into the house of Richard Soukins and steal documents. Go to Soukins' house, grab the papers from the table and run out of the settlement. Because everyone becomes enemies. Soukins' papers set out a plan for an upcoming operation against the Spaniards. Sawkins learned that the Spaniards had begun transporting the largest shipment of precious stones from Panama. To carry out this operation, the Spaniards abandoned the overland delivery of jewelry from Panama to Porto Bello and sailing along The Caribbean... Only one ship of the line must go around Cape Horn, rise to the fortieth parallel, then turn right and reach Lisbon in a straight line.

Soukins is assembling a squadron and is going to meet the Spaniard in two weeks at San Martin. We need to get ahead of them and intercept this ship below San Martin, sink it or board it. Get out to sea and sail towards San Martin.

Two weeks later, San Martin has a ship with purple sails - this is your goal. Take the ship on board. In the chest, in the captain's cabin, you will find a large number of gems. That's it, mission accomplished, you can report to Morgan.

Morgan will ask about the details of the operation, but evading the answer, say that there was nothing particularly interesting on the ship.

Morgan will offer us to make a trip to Panama. Morgan's plan is to take Porto Bello and reach Panama by land. the Spaniards will definitely not wait for this. Morgan offers to take a more powerful ship (if the squadron consists of more than one ship, then the rest must be placed in the port department) and gives 20 days to prepare. During these days, hire people, buy provisions, medicines, weapons, cannonballs, bombs, gunpowder and return back to Morgan by the appointed time.

It turns out by this time Morgan had already assembled a squadron of 5 powerful ships of the 1st class. He gives you the task of performing and taking Porto Bello right away. Move towards Porto Bello, attack the fort and capture the city. Go to the Governor's House and talk to the Governor. The governor is already aware of the plan of the march to Panama and was ready for your attack on his city and therefore was very surprised that you took the city so quickly. He also said that you will die in the jungle on your way to Panama. Tell this news to Morgan who comes up. He believes that Richard Soukins managed to secretly warn the Spaniards about the plan to march to Panama. Morgan is not going to give up the campaign and offers to split up. You will command the second squad, which will include Sawkins. You are instructed to disembark at Darien Bay within two days and go to Panama. On the way to Panama, you need to shoot Soukins unnoticed, because Morgan does not want to see him at the city walls.

Go out to sea and reach Darien Bay. Drop off there. Soukins will come up to you and say that he is ready for the upcoming operation.

On the way to Panama, your squad will be attacked three times by the Spaniards and the local population.

The last battle will be at the walls of Panama. Morgan approaches and gives the task to find the governor of Panama, tk. Since the Spanish forces were exhausted by ambushes in the jungle, there was no one left in the city.

Go to the house of the Governor of Panama, find him in the next room and interrogate him. According to him, El Escorial's gold is in a closed chest in the same room, but the key is in the possession of the commandant of Panama, who participated in the defense of the city and most likely died. We need to find the key. On leaving the governor's house, you will meet Morgan. He gives the order to find the key, while he himself goes to interrogate the governor.

Go to Fort Panama. There in the prison on the commandant's desk lies required key, take it and return to the governor's house. Open the chest - there is El Escorial's gold (50,000,000 piastres). At this moment, Morgan approaches and takes the gold with the words that now he will collect gold from all the sailors, and in the evening he will divide it, according to the laws of the Coastal Brotherhood. He also says that the governor could not stand the torture and died, however, he managed to tell about another chest, which is located on the outside of the fort. Morgan sends you there to check the given words. Go to the fort. In front of the fort, there is a narrow path that bends around it from the outside. Follow it, at the end of the path there is indeed a chest, but there is nothing of value in it. Return to town.

At the entrance to the city, a sailor meets you and says that Morgan collected gold from everyone, loaded it onto a galleon standing in the port, and secretly left Panama in an unknown direction. The sailors refuse to go back with you and continue to plunder the city, so you will return to the ship alone.

On the way to the Gulf of Darien, you will be attacked by the Spaniards, but you do not have to engage in battle with them, you can run around them.

Board the ship and head to Port Royal, Morgan's residence. Morgan's secretary says that Morgan himself is in London and will not arrive until a year later. Return back to Morgan a year later and claim your share of the loot. However, Morgan says that the end of the Coastal Brotherhood has come, he himself is now a planter, and he bought his forgiveness and forgiveness to the other surviving pirates from the English crown for El Escorial's gold. End of the pirate storyline.

Main quest

To start the main quest of the game - the quest of the game City of Lost Ships, you must first complete the so-called quest about the killing of beggars. It is taken in the main city of the country of which the hero is a citizen. (for example, for Jan Speins, this is Willemstad).

On the street you will be stopped by Oliver Trust, and will offer, for a reward of 1,000,000 piastres, to kill all the beggars in the archipelago. You can either agree or refuse the offer, this will have little effect on the further outcome. Now you should look for beggars (a man in rags, usually sits on the ground, can move around the city) in cities, and talk to them, find out why they are being hunted. You need to interview at least three beggars. One of them will send you to a vagrant who lives on one of the islands of the archipelago. If he is not in the city, spend the night in the tavern, soon he will be found. The vagabond assumes that the Governor-General of Curacao, Peter Stavesant, himself was involved in this case. Head to Curacao, to the Willemstad colony.

Enter the residence and go into the room (door opposite the entrance), go to the chest near the round table. The chest is locked, but you do not have the key. Exit the residence and go to the tavern. Ask the owner about the keykeeper, the innkeeper will tell you to go to the keymaster, Hill Corner, who sits at a table near the counter. The key master will agree to make a copy of the key from the chest in the residence for a decent amount of money, agree to his offer, and wait 2 nights in the tavern. After that, go to the house to the key keeper. Go to the house. An officer and 2 soldiers will come, kill them and go up to the second floor and take the key from the table. Now go to the residence to the chest. When the soldier turns away, open the chest and take away all its contents, a letter (Stavesant's correspondence with the Dutch West India Trading Company) and the treasure. Return to the beggar.

It turns out that Teaser Dan actually visited the Island of Justice. You, again, need to go back to Willemstad, to Stavezant and talk to him. Dock in the sweat of Willemstad, go to the tavern and ask the tavern keeper about Teaser, where Den has disappeared, the tavern owner does not know, and he will also advise not to get involved in the affairs of the Governor-General and the Dutch West Indian Company. Now go to the residence and start a dialogue with Stavesont. But as soon as you mention the name of Teaser, the governor will be on his guard. Say that you are writing a book, but you will not be able to find out really anything. We need to find a representative of the Dutch West Indian Company in the archipelago.

Get to the nearest pirate colony. When you reach the nearest diplomat, ask him about the representative, but the diplomat refuses to name the location of the representative of the Dutch Trading Company. Give the agent the name Oliver Trust and he says the client can be found in San Martin. Sail to this island.

After docking in one of the coves of San Martin, make your way to Marigot and go to Oliver's house, which is just opposite the local moneylender. After a short dialogue, kill the Trust, search the corpse and take the letter from the table. From the letter you will learn the location of the very mythical Island of Justice, which turns out to be by no means mythical. Return to the ship and sail to the familiar beggar.

The tramp will give you Diffindur's key, which will come in handy later.

Before heading to town lost ships, leave your ship at port office and change to a tartan. Give the money to the usurer for safekeeping. Sit the officers on the boats and also leave them with the harbor master. Since you will lose everything when entering the City.

Swim to the upper left corner of the map. You will go out to sea. After the command "swim" a video will go, and then the hero is in the City. The sea is raging, a wild storm. A local resident named George Stokes comes up to you and says that he saw the sinking of your ship. You are the only one who survived. He will give you a little insight into the matter. The city consists of many interconnected incomprehensibly wrecked ships. You are on the Velasco galleon, which is home to one of the established criminal clans - the narwhals. The second clan, the Caspers, is on the barque "San Gabriel". Neither one nor the other spares anyone who dares to disturb them. Stokes will also say that you need to visit the head of this godforsaken place, Admiral Chad Capper, on the San Augustine warship before the storm ends. As it turned out, this is the same missing privateer who came out three years ago for the prize and disappeared without a trace. And now he is an admiral and head of the City.

Turn around and jump into the water. You need the "Fernando Diffindur" flute, which contains the very chest that opens with the Diffindur key. The ship has a rift approximately in the middle. Having found the ship, swim over it and go into the breach. The chest is on the right. Put all your things there and calmly go to the admiral.

You will be officially declared a Citizen of the City. The City has almost everything that is inherent in an ordinary port: a tavern, a shop, a church, a usurer. The moneylender has a special story. Everyone will tell you that he is a terrible, terrible man, a warlock. The debtor will be obliged to return him an amount five times the given. It turns out that Brahms gave the soul of Miclantlecutely, the Aztec god of the dead. If the debt is not returned, after a while, when you go to any location, you will be transported to the sacrificial temple, to Tenochtitlan. God will appear to you and demand money back. If you do not have them, you will not get out of there. This will happen even after you get out of the City.

Now go to the Fleuron caravel, to the owner of the tavern, Hill Brunner, and ask him about Teaser Dan (that same missing beggar). Everyone thinks he drowned. Hill asks you to be silent about the fact that Teaser was able to get to the mainland, because the admiral should never find out about it. The law of the City says that no one can build rafts and boats to sail away. Hill will ask you to come to him later, he should consider the information received.

Return to Hill after a while. He will make an appointment for you after twelve o'clock at night in his wine cellar (this is one of the cabins on the same ship, you need to go out on deck and go to the stern of the ship). After the conversation, you will need to visit the "Fernando Diffindur" flutes, where Teaser often sailed. Hill needs proof that you are right.

Now your task is to find Andre Labo, a carpenter in the city. According to Brunner, it was he who helped Dan build the swimming facility. Labor makes an appointment for you in the cabin of the "Protector" corvette. The carpenter betrays you. He brings a policeman with him. Kill them. Tell Hill about what happened. He offers to cover up the traces of the crime and set up one of the clans, namely the "narwhals". To do this, you need to lie in wait for one of the "narwhals" in the bow of their base (galleon "Velasco"), take the clan's amulet from him and take it to the admiral, and thus remove suspicions of murder from you. After doing this, you will be instructed to destroy all "narwhals". Officers will be given to help. After killing everyone, go to the barrels opposite the entrance. Between them lies an ordinary key for chests. Report to the admiral on the successfully completed assignment. Now go back to Hill Brunner and tell him what happened. He will ask to come to him later. Sleep in the tavern for a few days, then go to Hill. He says that today at midnight in the tavern, the Capper will meet with a certain person. You must eavesdrop on the conversation by hiding behind a pillar in the wine cellar (stand sideways and do not move, otherwise you will be discovered). The information turned out to be very important indeed. It turned out that Capper and the leader of the “Kasperov” clan (and it was he) were in one bundle. It turns out that it is not you the admiral, but he circled you around his finger. Destroyed the "narwhals" with your hands. In addition, they mentioned a certain Mechanic. Report everything to Brunner. He will express his thoughts on this matter and try to remember who already lived here before him. This is necessary in order to find out who this Mechanic is.

You will not learn anything else from Hill. After a while, they kill him. The tavern waitress Armo Dulin will tell you that she found Brunner's corpse in the wine cellar, and noted that before his death he asked her questions about the person who lived here before him.

Go to the admiral. He will tell you not to get involved in this matter. Try to find the oldest residents of the City. One of them is Cecile Galard, who lives in the Eva galleon. Going to her, you will see three "Caspers" trying to kill the unfortunate woman. Kill them and receive information about the Mechanic as a thank you (if you cannot save the old lady, Aurelie Bertin will tell you everything). His name is Henrik Wedecker, and it was he who came up with the method of securing the City's ships. It looks like the admiral isolated him on the barque San Gabriel, at the base of the Casper clan. You need to get to it. You will have to destroy the entire clan alone.

Talk to Henrik. It turns out that the City is supported by only three ship wrecks and can be destroyed by any storm. Fortunately, he has a ship to sail away from here. But: firstly, he will sell it to you, and only for one and a half million, and secondly, the ship still needs to be freed from the wreckage. But this can only be done with the help of a gear that Henrik dropped into the water. Your task is to go down under the water in a special suit (this can be done only from 10.00 to 19.00) and get the gear. The suit has only six minutes of air supply, and horrible, gluttonous creatures have started up under the City.

The suit hangs on the wall inside the Phoenix platform. He puts on (and takes off) automatically, you just need to go to him.

Get down under the water. The location of the gear is randomly generated. You will have to fight huge crabs. Only a saber will be able to fight. You cannot run either, and the time is only six minutes.

After finding the gear, return back to the Mechanic. The corvette must be provided with all the necessary goods for sailing. These are cannonballs, buckshot, knipples, bombs, canvas, medicines, boards, provisions, gunpowder and weapons. Go to the tavern waitress Armo Dulin. So, shells for weapons can be obtained from housewives. These are Lea Toors, Aurelie Bertin, Alice Taylor and Eliza Calvo. Eliza will need a lute, 10 clusters of grapes and 3 bottles of wine, Leia - 10 bags of salt. Provisions, planks, and canvas can be purchased from the shopkeeper. Padre Angel will give you the medicine. For gunpowder and weapons, you need to contact the policeman John Workman. He will help with the condition: take him with you.

It remains to recruit a team of at least 15 people. After completing the set, go to the Mechanic, the storm has already begun. But he was arrested by Capper. We need to help out the scientist.

Go to the residence. There is no mechanic here. He's in prison on the Tartarus. Run there as fast as possible. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to free Wedeker - he is in a cage, and there is no time to look for the key. The mechanic will send you to the second mast of the "Fernando Diffindur" flute, to the very place where Teaser Dan hid his chest.

Having reached the indicated place, go through the "open" icon to the open sea. The quest is complete.
