There are some typos and odd words here or there and I'm not sure if I will correct them myself but as of now, please bear with it. Hope it helps! :D

The Burden of Gascon. - Extension Pt. 2

Go to jail, show commandant released Folke. You will lead your navigator. Talk to him leave the prison, hoping to climb onto the deck of the new ship, but you stop one person. He sent the innkeeper pirate village of Le Francois. He knows that you are going to Guadeloupe, and wants to offer a way to make money. You do not need to give up!

Guadeloupe

Press Enter, go for a map of the world and swim from the island up north to Guadeloupe. Prichalte the city, get a house Fadei (second from the left, if you walk in a straight line) - and he will be called when approaching the door. Talk to the man, tell me what you from Michel. He had no money, but he will give us the Leader Doug - do not dare to sell it or throw, or you type the problems. Ask about the thieves, learn about Indian caught and stolen sword collection, which, if meet the traders on the islands, you will need to redeem. Go to jail, talk to the commander, that he missed you for the Indians. Go deeper through the corridor and talk with Indian standing behind bars. Go back to the commandant and ask what should be done to release an Indian - you need the consent of Fadey. Go to Fadey, talk to him. He asks you with a penalty fee of 150 doubloons. Tell that man with the oak fell, to ask that kind of money. The amount now stands at 100 doubloons. Anyway, while the Indian is not free, swim to Martinique and talk with Michel. He will say that Fadey slipped us a cheap sword (which, of course, not the case), just tell you that you should ask Fadey find some work for you. Follow the tavern and hire a new team, if you have the money. Go back to Guadeloupe, give Fadey 100 doubloons (can be exchanged for a moneylender that will be released in 10,000 pesos, or sink to rob the house for gold doubloons in purses), go to jail and pass a note from Fadey commandant. Follow Tichingitu to the camera and let us know that Indian free. In a conversation with him in the country agreed to accept an Indian in his team. Return to Fadey and asked him to find a job for you.

This Indian - very valuable officer. He asks not so much money, but they are always loyal to you, but it means that he will never leave the team. He also is very good in a fight, I advise you to give him a gun to your taste and ammunition, as well as to equip its heavy weapons.

Dishonest Competitor

Useful job for which you can fetch 25k pesos for ten minutes of real time.

Follow to the store, talk to the dealer and ask for the help it in - you need to call the tavern of a certain person. Go to the tavern, get the man in the mask in the mouth and hat - in dark red clothes. Go back to the store, ask about other matters. Take this letter to the commandant for 300 pesos. Take a letter, go to the dealer and tell the commandant of the answer. Ask what happened, ask the help. We need to find a rival dealer and convince him to close the shop smuggling.

Go in the morning to the dealer shop and tell them that there are no competitor. Get a reward of 15,000 pesos more. Quest issued randomly! It may be available at the store merchant in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe up.

Caribbean Manners

To get the job you need to talk to Fadeyev, and ask him about his work after a conversation with Michel. I do not advise to delay the quest! We need to come tomorrow to the store and talk to Gerard LeCroes. Follow to the store, talk to him. It is necessary to deliver the goods to the fort of Port-au-Prince in French Hispaniola. Go to the ship onto the map. If it does not, it means that the vehicle is overloaded - sell extra stuff in the store. Swim-up left on Hispaniola. Prichalte to the port of Port-au-Prince, in the western part of the island. Go into the jungle (the gateway to the far right part of the city as seen from the pier). Turn right, run down to the fort and climb down. Go to the armory and have a talk with the commandant.

After receiving 5000 pesos, ask the following order - to go with 15 guns to Porto Bello, find the frigate Militant and hand gun captain Florian Choquet. It's off the coast of Southern Maine. Once you get the job immediately or swim. Most likely, the sail is not released, because you will repeatedly attack the same Spanish interceptor - wait for it near the fort, and flush with the help of allies. Then swim down to the coast of southern Maine. Porto Bello - an enemy port, so swim a little to the west of it, and exit to the open sea. When the alarm will disappear, the Swim to militancy, send it to the boat. Talk to Captain Belligerent agree to help him in intelligence. The right to call the informant Jaime of Sicily, it is the trader. Galleon is named Alakantara. Wade into the city at night is necessary, through the jungle. Time - not more than two days.

Swim in the Gulf of Moskitos, disembarked. Wait for the night. From the beach, so go - right-to-left to left-right would be the gateway to the city. Enter the city, carefully select into the far left-hand part. By the shipyard will carry on the bridge, the bridge opposite the corner house - tavern. Go there. Talk to the innkeeper not worth it. Find out here drunk, who will offer a drink (regular drunkard). Agree to have a drink, then ask about the news in our area. He starts to talk about the captured spy - to ask him to the last, until the log entry. Now we need to find some inconspicuous in need of a person money. Beggar! Rewind time of 12 days or later, get the beggar in the city and offer him money. Hide behind the corner, rewind time to 23.00 or later, go to the shipyard on the pier and see the information extracted beggar. Back in the jungle, on the shore of the Gulf of Moskitos, swim to the ship Inspirational and report to find out information Captain Choquet.

Ask him about the next job - you need to intercept the ship Pueblo, which carries the load for Alakantary with porohom.Plyvite along the coast of Maine to the right and find the same ship. Attack him flush or take on board the ship - your cause. Then swim to Guadeloupe, enter the store and talk to torgashёm - LeCroes passed through your reward - 400 doubloons. The quest is complete! Now continue to live a normal marine life, it is not to be held three months after the last meeting with Michel. The most easy - to transport goods merchants stores. They ask if they want to charter your boat and use the map for orientation:Do not forget that you need to reach level 5 (rank) before meeting with Michel.

Tips to Promote

So you got three months of free-pleya - and I'll give you a couple of tips on how to pass the same this time with the maximum benefit for you and your wallet!

- Quests.
In fact, everything is simple. Generator quests, as they are called, are everywhere, absolutely everywhere. In Steam there is a guide dedicated onnym, but I'll add a couple of tips:
1. It can be draining to punt the tavern owner information on "easy prey" - quite a useful quest.
2. So, if you ever see the captain, offering to talk with him on board his ship - before going off on his board will be preserved, and empty the quest "Hot Reid" to the quest of acceptable for you conditions.
3. More advice - brothels. Save your game at the entrance to a brothel, and remove the lady. Drain the moment until the room convolution documents (as I do not advise until the quest "The reason for the rush" - it is rather complicated for beginners, though the reward for it Ogogo), so that when you pay for the girl in 3000 pesos, you can help out 6000 commandant of the documents.
4. Port Control - a very useful thing. Each quest generously paid. Yes, with quests like "Hijacked ship" or "Burnt ship" should be a very long time to tinker, but the reward is worth it. I tell you about the quest "Logbook" - all just to catch up with the captain and give him his journal. The beauty of this quest is that in about 5-10 minutes of real time you get a +2 navigation skills (unprecedented generosity!) And a bag of jewels.
5. Governors. Their job - a great way to pick up a bunch of features - Stealth, authority, fame and title. Plus, payment for the job did not a cheap again. I advise job with penetration - they are relatively light, if you get the hand, and the payment for them are really smart.

Free Play

Here everything is not so simple. You actually kick thrown in an open world with a bunch of questions - "What What to do???". Well, first you need to download navigation, that would get the ship level 4 (or just find a good co-driver), bleed the fighting skills and gain command. Here are a few tips:
1. Ship. Do not rush to take the ship 4-3-2-1 ranks, if you had stayed in the navigators Folke Delluc - you will go to a very serious penalty in all skills, payment of the sailors would be incredibly high, and you shall be like the stump of the Corsair.
2. Team. Incredibly useful thing - I advise to buy as soon as possible Boatswain, gunner and Treasurer / Carpenter. They will help you cool. (Abordazhnika, incidentally, can be placed on the command of the ship, so you can grab a couple and their)
3. Maintaining the fight. These are my personal tips on conducting battlefield. It will feature several tactics:
- Keeping the sea battle. Tactics number of times.
Need - Knipelli x 150 on the ship, Buckshot × 100 - 150 on the ship.
Tactics: knipellyami fire the ship, so that he could not get up to speed more than 0.3 unit, and quietly we fire him with buckshot, whirling like a top. Most likely, the enemy will not be able to respond, and you can easily take it on board the ship without any losses.
- Tactic number two.
Need - Knipelli x 150 on the ship, bomb / Cores × 200 - 300 on the ship.
Tactics: costly, but it is also useful. Destroy the enemy's sails, which would this radish was not able to move, and the burning of all the nuclei of the guns / bombs / monkeys enemy. If there is a gunner with the skill of "increased body damage" - the ship is very, very soon to go down.
- Management of ground combat.
We need - and a good reaction pistol.
Tactics: it is ordinary. I will describe a strategy for rapiers and sabers, but always need a gun, better with paper cartridges.
Fleuret / Swords - everything is simple, you are very good and poke fintuete. We slow down time while fending off enemy blows or twist trick, if the energy comes to an end - the burning of pistoles on it.
Swords - there may be a little more complicated. It will be good to parry the blows that would leave the enemy without energy, and while he ochuhivaetsya, beat him chop. Trample we can be good against enemy units, about the circular can not say anything, but he is more useful in a fight with two or three enemies. Just Fending off, but not fintuem as benefit from Finta not, cut, shoot, put the unit if you are lazy. Do not be surprised that Charles turns the sword - the developers just changed the animation, all in the same block is placed.

In fact, it's all you can do in friplee. Do not forget to also advice that if the condition for easy prey you have to attack the non-Spanish ship, you just need to pick up on the world map pirate flag in the "Nation". Do not forget to make deposits in banks 1,000 doubloons to buy stocks to boast or to the really important goals such as the smuggling trade, repair ships and change them as women in a brothel. Buying up cards Treasure guys in restaurants, have the task of Governors to increase your reputation and live. You salt.

The Burden of Gascon. - Extension Pt. 3

It took 3 months of your voyages ...

Go back to Michel in prison in Martinique, talk to him. It offers three options: go to the Dutch West India Company in Curaçao, or join the navy of England (look for the captain of the military marque in Antigua), or join the third company, traces of which are to Barbados (Bridgetown).
Ruler GVIK
GVIK - or the Dutch West India Company, is the best choice for a beginner. To begin with the line "Dutch Gambit" for you to GVIK not need to have any special skills or reputation among ordinary seamen. Because I start to describe it exactly, but the line of the English Privateer Pirate and the Secret Organization, I will describe later.

So, first you need to go to Curacao, and moor in a single city. Headquartered GVIK is close to the pier, to the left. To distinguish the building from the other will sign gold color on the front door. Log in and tell me that they came to the service. Go upstairs and talk to Lucas Rodenburg. Finally, get a first job.

Support Balthazar

The first task was not extremely difficult, except perhaps a fight with two brigs. Follow in the port of Willemstad management, talk to Ridderbokom Balthazar. As soon as you step out into the sea, so as soon as the enemy on his ship begins pursuit. The ship has a very fast, so do not get to run! It is best to go to sea and stay near the fort, Fort thereby help you in a fight with two ships. Destroy the ships and take them to the boarding. It is not necessary to catch up. Landed on Filipburga Sint Martin, talk to Balthazar and get him a modest reward. Swim back to Curacao, go to the residence and talk to GVIK Rodenburg.

Secret message Acevedo

The second is a little more complicated, as will have to string up and fight with only one harpoon without a gun. I advise you to pump skill rapiers and sabers, because they are very necessary.
The next task of Rodenburg - go to Cuba, in Santiago, and transfer some package in the hands of Don Simoneau Acevedo, a high official in Geraldi bank. Swim to Cuba, to the city of Santiago did not swim up, because you are enemies to the Spaniards. To the right there is the Cape Santiago lighthouse. Stand to the right and exit from the cape in sailing mode at the coast of Cuba. Press Enter and move to the Gulf of Ana Maria. Prichalte to the beach and follow the way - right-right-right-right-right-right. You will be on location to the city gate, they are right around the corner. Log in to town after 00.00, so that you did not stop the protection. Hide in a secluded place, rewind time to 8 am and go to the bank. The Bank is located in an alley in front of the residence. Talk to Simon, tell me what you need further information and inform on whom you're here. Simon wants to answer and asks to go to the next day. Exit the bank and you stun.

Talk with the enemy, do not disclose all the secrets, do not talk about compensation. He was gone, leaving you in custody of his thugs. When the thug out, in one of the chests and get a harpoon through the inventory menu wear it instead of weapons. Enters assistant - kill his spear in combat. Exit the room, go down and run into Vernon - first bandit. Kill him, on the ground floor there is a chest - take out the all the things, that you have taken away the bandits. Exit the house, go to the bank to Simon and collect a letter of reply. Simon will give an answer to the words - "this man must die." Rewind time at 00.00, standing near the gate to guard, and leave the city. Run to the ship, take it to the Gulf of Ana Maria and return to the residence GVIK Curacao.
