    Tutorial Step by step walkthrough for the introduction of Sea Dogs: To Each His Own

    That's manga rosa quest. You must speak with the potion sellers (the one in Martinique) and after that with the gypsy women walking the streets. But that is a waste of manga rosa. There are a small number of them. Manga Rosa is really useful in the Caleuche quest to make three permanent potions...

    Tutorial Step by step walkthrough for the introduction of Sea Dogs: To Each His Own

    What ship class so you have? If the navigator or you have a lower than required navigation skill, the ship upkeep will be too much. It is absurd, but this is it. I had this problem, and i opened here a topic, but nobody helped. I learned the hard way. So, it is most likely the navigation skill...

    Slave trader

    Like i wrote before, you cannot chose in which city to take the quest, at least in the game i'm playing. I believe you can only take it in Saint Pierre. That will change, or not, only when starting a new game.

    Slave trader

    It is in a random city every time you start the game. It can be in a Spanish City too. The problem is you can't tell if it is broken or not because you cannot rush the quest, you have to wait a month or so at every stage and some steps are difficult for a beginner. So in the mean time you do...

    Slave trader

    The ones with " " are broken, they are not translation errors. This happens also in some Captive Captain quests and maybe some other quests too. Someone told me it was an island that was removed from the map in one of the first game using this engine and those " " are a reminiscent of that. It...

    Slave trader

    It should be Capsterville, most likely, but that quest part was broken and it was (supposedly) fixed in the latest patches. Even with the patches there are still a lot of broken quest that are not going ever to be fixed. Like shipwrecked ones, some of the captive captains quests, regatta and...

    Save often! The game is buggy as hell

    Actually the game is quite stable atm. There are some bugs to be avoided, but once you know those, like save often in different slots, the game is solid. That slave trader bug was supposed to be fixed in later patches. The slave trader quest is generated in a random city (except capitals and...

    Best rank 3 ship?

    I used a polacre, one of my favorite overall ships. A xebek could be nice too, probably , but they are very rare, also looks too much like an eastern ship and not like a Caribbean thing. My fav ships are normal frigate (2nd class and overall), polacre (3rd class), war schooner (4th class)...

    Pirate Heavy Frigate

    With that fleet, the pirates could conquer the Caribbean. I had some experience with the gentlemen of fortune It's not right after finding a meager treasure, to be attacked by a pirate band while exiting the cave, attacked by a pirate band at the beach, attacked on the sea by heavy frigates and...

    Pirate Heavy Frigate

    Heavy frigates are military ships. I don't like using them as a pirate. I prefer frigates. Better maneuverability, speed and sailing against the wind compared with the heavy frigate. Also the normal frig has sufficient firepower to defeat with ease any ship including line ships. I never fought a...

    Guide Ship Upgrades

    I managed to figure out the numbers. In total there are 179 degrees. Probably 180, or half a circle. My polacre has 63/116 My frigate has 117/62 So, a good ship against the wind has the second value larger than the first value. The larger is the second number, the smaller will be the first one...

    Guide Ship Upgrades

    It must be bugged, but I never understood the numbers for angle to the wind. I think that the wider the angle, the better sailing against the wind. Can someone explain those numbers? My favorite ships are polacre and normal frigate and they have such different numbers for angle to the wind...

    Need Help Warehouse

    In Willemstad there is a door inside the shipyard to go to the warehouse. I only used the storehouse in Willemstad as my base of operation is in the area Curacao, Martinique, Guadelupe. I suspect in Port Royale a storehouse must be also in the shipyard. Probably the other capitals like...

    Tutorial Red Mary

    Yeah, I kind of feel the same. That's because most of the games, if not all, that offers you several alternative paths, have only one of the path that is the right way, while the others are just poor choices. Other games offers choices between good and evil, and I think the vast majority of...

    Guide Easy Money

    Too complicated. It's easier to just use two fat merchant ships like flutes, buy a trading license for a month and trade between Maracaibo, Cumana, Caracas, (and the other Spanish cities close to Curacao) and Willemstad. Hundreds of thousands to a half a million profit in a month.
