— The Spanish squadron is directly ahead, captain!

—Thousand devils! All hands on deck! Guns for battle! Prepare grappling hooks and muskets! I will personally feed the cowards to the fish, and the rest will receive gold from the hold of that fat Spanish galleon! Starboard, fire!

More than six months after Return of the Legend, the Seaward team pleased us with an addition (which, by the way, was talked about back then, in February last year). Frankly, after the success of “Legends,” there were a lot of thoughts about a new game. What kind of game will it be? What will change? What will remain the same? However, there was no doubt that the addition would be no worse than the original. Are you ready to return to the Caribbean Sea, to the archipelago of new secrets and mysteries? Then we catch the wind - and full speed ahead!

The recipe is simple

To make a good expansion, you need to replicate the success of the original game. In other words, to do everything the same, but even better, even bigger, more exciting, and in our case, even more mysterious. In essence, “City of Lost Ships” is still the same “Legend”, but with a large chunk of new opportunities. For example, a whole bunch of new items have appeared - these are not just magic pots, but idols of very real Indian gods. Add new unique ships, a new storyline for pirates and a lot of mini-quests. All the innovations can’t be counted; I even doubt that I studied the original game one hundred percent. Well, what’s not a reason to find answers to “old” mysteries along with new adventures?

The Peter Blood storyline is worth mentioning separately. The similarity with Sabatini's creation is so great that you can find the solution to some game problems right in the book! But these are just the beginnings, because there is also a main character - the City of Lost Ships. However, I’m not going to reveal all my cards yet, otherwise the intricate puzzles in the spirit of the first “Corsairs” will lose their unique charm.

"Stormy" sea

As an unknown player said: “the graphics don’t bother veterans.” No matter how wonderfully Storm draws the sea, sun and sky, ships, characters and landscapes come out disgusting. Judge for yourself, for the first time we saw a gaming heart in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and that was almost five years ago. On the other hand, the poor capabilities of the engine force us to find another way out of the situation. Instead of rich detail and shaders, the player is encouraged to use his own imagination. Look at a pirate in a tavern or a simple passerby. Yes, for the most part they are of no play interest, but at the same time they are not “furniture”. This thug doesn’t just walk around the city (although in fact he’s just walking), but lives his own life. Maybe he just got off the ship after a long hunt at sea? However, what exactly he did depends only on you. Whether a pirate, a merchant, a money lender or a governor, they are all in your hands, like the entire archipelago.

Let's get back to specifics

The evaluation part ends here, let's now look at the goodies. To begin with, I think it’s worth understanding the main thing: what has changed? The English line was removed so that there would be no conflicts with the new pirate line. A new playable character has appeared, Peter Blood. The main difference from the others is that the game starts differently, that is, in England. If you remember, Blood was not immediately exiled to Barbados, so first you will have to deal with matters at Lord Gilroy’s estate.

I have already spoken about a whole set of idols and statues, we will look at them in more detail later.

New tasks are everywhere: searching for the captain, catching pirates and much more. These tasks are generated randomly, but are well written, so they don’t become boring.

Be sure to check out the shipyard; almost all the vessels have been rebuilt, and new vessels have appeared - unique ones. You cannot buy them, you can only receive them for a task or take them away in battle.

And, perhaps, the main change is that artificial intelligence has become much smarter. Local grunts no longer rush at you like a herd of zerglings, interfering with each other. No, fighting one enemy is already a challenge, fighting two is a difficult task, and three or more is certain death! And if it is relatively easy to defeat a simple sailor, then it is much more difficult to defeat a captain or officer. Usually, for a novice adventurer, two or three blows are enough to give up the ghost, and one bullet is enough! Frankly, starting the game on the “Lieutenant” difficulty (this is a little easier than “average”), I did not expect such agility from the enemy, because last time everything was completely different. Be that as it may, the work on the AI was not in vain, the game became more interesting and more realistic. The bulletproof hero from “Return of the Legend” has already become somewhat boring.

Pantheon of Indian Gods

Totem Xochiquetzal- goddess of flowers and love. It is not clear what love and flowers have to do with luck, but a good idol adds as much as twenty units to luck and does not require anything in return. In addition, you can get a tidy sum for it on the market.
Mictlantecuhtli totem- the god of the kingdom of the dead with a completely unpronounceable name. Adds twenty to stealth. Indispensable for the British and French if they desperately need to enter a hostile port. It costs even more than the Shochiquetzal idol. If you can’t disguise yourself, you can get a good price in the store.
Quetzalcoatl totem- God of the morning star and lord of the elements. His image adds twenty units of protection to the owner. It won’t be superfluous, because it’s quite difficult to develop defense. This is interesting: Quetzalcoatl is one of the most famous Indian gods. He is one of the main deities of ancient Mexico - “the serpent with precious feathers.” In mythology, he goes by many names, for example: Tezcatlipoca white, Eectal, Chopotl.
Mixcoatl totem- god of the hunt. His totem gives the owner a keen eye and a steady hand. In digital equivalent, this is twenty accuracy points. Mixcoatl literally means "Cloud Serpent". In mythology, he personifies the Milky Way, and especially the North Star.
Tezcatlipoca totem- the patron god of priests, punishing criminals. The totem adds twenty points to your pistol proficiency. This is interesting: According to the Aztecs, Tezcatlipoca symbolized winter, cold and the night sky. Therefore, to be honest, it is not very clear why the totem improves the use of pistols.
Chalchihuitlicue totem- goddess of fresh water, rivers, seas and lakes. A totem depicting a goddess adds twenty authority points. Now try to pronounce her name without hesitation, which, by the way, translates as “she is dressed in jade clothes.”
Huitzilopochtli totem- god of the blue clear sky, sun, war and hunting. The owner of the totem receives an increase of twenty units to the proficiency of medium weapons. This is interesting: Huitzilopochtli is one of the sons of Mixcoatl. His name roughly translates to “left-handed hummingbird.” It is curious that the hummingbird often personified the sun among many Central American tribes.
Tlaloc Totem- the god of rain and thunder, ruler of all edible plants. The totem adds twenty points to your light weapon proficiency. This is interesting: Tlaloc was primarily a beneficent god, but could cause deadly hail, floods, droughts, and lightning strikes.
Totem Mayahuel- the goddess of fertility who gave people an alcoholic drink. The totem adds twenty points to the Heavy Weapon skill. Apparently, alcoholic beverages led to brawls involving heavy clubs.
Tonacatecuhtli Totem- God the creator, who gives food to people. The totem adds twenty trade points. Useful, not worth selling. This is interesting: Tonacatecuhtli and his wife Tonacacihual are considered the creators of the world and the first human couple. Moreover, they were considered the lords of Omeyokan - the uppermost sky.
Camashtli totem- god of hunting, stars, war and fate. It does not add any skills, so it is only suitable for sale.
Sinteotl's Totem- god of young corn. The totem adds twenty navigation points. A very useful totem, as it allows you to control ships a couple of ranks higher than the character’s skill. This is interesting: Sinteotl was considered the patron saint of farmers and goldsmiths.
Totem Tonatiuh- god of the sky and sun. In the game it acts as a commodity, such as tablets, precious stones and gold bars. This is interesting: Tanatiu means "Sun" in Aztec.
Totem Xipe Toteku- god of sowing and harvest. Adds twenty to the ability to repair a ship at sea. This is interesting: All the peoples of Central America had a holiday during which sacrifices were made to Xipe Totec. The priests dressed themselves in the skin of the sacrificed people and danced solemnly with the warriors.
Tlazolteotl totem- goddess-eater of dirt, cleanses from illicit passions. It does not add any characteristics, so it is only suitable for sale.

What do we have at the shipyard?

Barquentine- when Spanish merchants realized that they were becoming easy prey for pirates, they began to massively convert their clumsy galleons into barquentines. Thanks to the mixed sailing rig, the barquentine can move quite quickly in any direction. Although the transatlantic voyage takes longer, the barquentine is sure to escape the pirate. A good, and most importantly, cheap alternative to the brigantine. An expanded hold and excellent maneuverability - what more does a merchant need?

Royal Manowar- an improved version of the “floating fort”. Even more guns, even thicker armor, luxurious hull finish. The price of the vessel is such that hardly any country can afford more than one such beauty.

Flying Dutchman- You cannot buy this vessel, but you can receive it as a reward. It cannot be said that the Dutchman is very strong, but compared to other ships of its class it has excellent maneuverability and performance.

Sea wolf— a unique brig, handmade by master Alexus. High speed and excellent maneuverability make this brig a pirate's dream, and excellent close-hauled sailing guarantees a safe retreat. Nine cannons on each side will help in destroying the enemy team.

Arabella- former frigate Cinco Llagas. It was he who was taken away from the port of Bridgetown by Peter Blood right from under the noses of the Spaniards. An excellent ship, you just need to find a very good navigator.

Corvette- a ship whose equal cannot be found. An outstanding work of shipbuilding. Sturdy hull, large hold, thirty-two pound guns. Add to this excellent sailing rig and excellent close-hauled performance. Don't forget about the four dozen cannons on board. This Corvette is the best in its class.

Blue bird- this bird terrorizes the merchants of the Caribbean. It is not surprising - thanks to the fully oblique sailing rig, this xebek develops very high speed, and also goes very well in close-hauled mode. Add to this fantastic maneuverability, and you get the perfect sailboat for fast boarding.

Captain Blood

I already mentioned that one of the starting characters is Peter Blood. He's got a starting quest line, and if you're going to play as England, there's no better candidate.

Oglethorpe Manor

On the threshold you will meet Jeremy Pitt. He will say that the lord is seriously injured and you urgently need to give him first aid. Go up to the second floor, the bedroom will be on your left.

This is interesting: Peter Blood - doctor, bachelor of medicine. In response to a call for help, he rushed to the Oglethorpe estate, and was then captured by Colonel Kirk's dragoons. Gilroy assisted the rebel Monmouth, and Blood was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Some dragoons are invulnerable, so there is no point in running from them.

And here is the key, lying quietly on the table.

Now you need to take the saber, it is on the balcony in the chest. But the chest is locked, and first you need to find the key. While exploring the City of Lost Ships forums, I noticed that the key is usually the first major obstacle. Go down to the first floor and turn right. There is a table next to the stairs, and you will find the key on it. The humor is that when you first enter the house, the key is not yet on the table, and Pitt does not say where it is.

We open the chest and arm ourselves; in a few seconds the dragoons will arrive at the estate. No matter what you say, you will still be accused of aiding the rebels. And when they find Pitt in the fireplace... In general, a fight cannot be avoided.

This is interesting: At Sabatini's, Jeremy was hiding in the linen closet.

No matter how masterly you wield a sword, the dragoons will still prevail (some of them are immortal), but do not rush to load up, this is how it should be. Peter Blood will wake up in prison, and after a short trial he and Jeremy Pitt will be sent to “His Majesty’s Southern Colonies,” or rather, to the island of Barbados.

Plantation

Feel free to rummage through the chests on the plantation and in the city, later you can sell the goods.

Welcome to His Majesty's Southern Colonies!

Welcome to Barbados. Peter Blood is a slave and a sugar cane miner, but he is no ordinary slave. Whatever one may say, he is a qualified doctor, and you can count the smart doctors on the archipelago on one hand. Therefore, Blood is allowed to move freely around the island and the city. Except that trading is prohibited, as is carrying weapons, of course.

It is important: if the guard sees you have a weapon, he will ask you to hand it over. Do not resist, since fighting with an entire island is a disastrous task.

The first task is to help Mrs. Steed, the governor's wife. By the way, this is one of the opportunities to earn some money. Chat with her, and then ask the governor for two and a half thousand to buy a “very expensive medicine.” He will promise to check everything, but in reality he will forget about the money as soon as you leave his residence. Migraine medicine can be found in the house of Mr. Dan, the pharmacist, on the second floor.

A little later, Dr. Vacker, one of the other two doctors on the island, will approach you and suggest... you run away. Peter Blood is the only slave who can leave the plantation and calmly wander around the city, so he can prepare an escape without difficulty or special suspicion. Just first you need to assemble a team, get weapons and buy a ship. Vacker promises to help with the ship, everything else will have to be obtained personally. Well, Pitt will run away with us of his own free will, and three other officers still need to be recruited.

Preparing to escape

Wacker wants to get rid of Blood so much that he is ready to help him escape.

Outside the city, Winterwood is the easiest to defeat, the main thing is to dodge the shot.

So, we have three officers, and each of them is held by something on the island. Hagthorpe, who served in the Royal Navy, demands the death of a certain Stuart Winterwood. This man took him and sold him into slavery. Hagthorpe does not disclose details, but he is not going to leave without proof of Winterwood’s death. Junior officer Nicholas Dake agrees to escape, but right before his escape, Bishop sells him. Slaves are living goods; What can you do, you’ll have to help Dake out somehow. The last one is artilleryman Ogle. He owes a decent amount of money to the moneylender and is not going to leave until he pays it back.

Hagthorpe

Let's start in order. Stuart Winterwood can be found in the tavern, sitting at one of the tables. Invite him to meet outside the city; he will agree and will also give you a weapon. If you run into him in a tavern, you will most likely die. Unless you hid a dusak somewhere...

After an hour, go out into the jungle (there is a second exit from the city, to the right of the residence) and wait for the enemy. Please note that he is quite strong, so I recommend saving before the fight. After winning, do not forget to remove the ring (along with your finger) and a thousand piastres from your body. The ring must be presented to Hagthorp, and a thousand gold pieces will still come in handy.

Nicholas Dake

As I already said, they want to buy Dyke, we need to break the deal. Visit the merchant and the bartender, go to the port office, and you will learn that a merchant from Jamaica recently arrived in town. He is located in one of the houses of the city (his abode is next to the tavern), let's visit him.

So Weston decided to buy Dake on the cheap. Bishop is an old friend of his and wants to give him a discount. To break the deal, you need to rob a Jamaican merchant. Wait until he turns away and rummage through his chest. There you will find six thousand piastres, an idol and a letter of marque. Now Weston will have nothing to buy Dake with, which means he can run away with us. And a large sum of money, no doubt, will be useful to you.

Ogle

The last one on our team is the one-eyed artilleryman Ogle. He owes a lot to the moneylender, and we need to pay for it. The moneylender gave Oglu five thousand piastres. If you have already robbed Weston, it will not be difficult for you to pay.

Weapon

If you don't have enough cash, you can try to get weapons with the help of a smuggler, but this is much more dangerous.

The team has been assembled. Now you need to take care of the weapons and the ship. Go to the tavern and chat with the bartender; he will tell you that Mr. Griffin is dealing with weapons in the city. Let's go to him.

This is the guideline: Griffin lives in a white stone house next to the residence, on the left.

Griffin got robbed! Some Spanish thug ordered weapons from him, but without waiting for the order, he tore the collection sabers from the wall. Everything would be fine, but they are engraved by a master, which means that if the Spaniard is caught, both will be hanged. We cannot allow this, so we set off in pursuit of the Spaniard - he went to the fisherman Hells (his house to the right of the residence).

Entering the house, we will see that the stern fisherman has already dealt with the invader himself. All that remains is to pick up the “marked” weapon and take it to Griffin. By nightfall he will have made the required number of sabers and pistols without any markings.

This is the advice: bargain. Reduce the price for the work to a thousand piastres, the money will still come in handy.

Ship

The basic preparations are complete, all that remains is to get the ship. Wacker gave out only eighteen thousand instead of the required twenty-five. Nothing can be done, we need to get another seven thousand.

It is important: you can't sell anything, so you can only earn money. If you strictly followed the guide, you need to find not seven thousand, but less.

Let's go to the city. The moneylender will be the first - he will ask you to extract money from the scammer. He is sure that the debtor has not yet left the island, because no one has sailed today.

Don't forget that Blood is a slave. You will have to return to the plantation every day.

Buddy! Let's have a glass... and then you can tell me where you fish.

Visit the innkeeper - he knows exactly where to find the debtor, but you will have to pay five hundred gold pieces for the information. The bartender will tell you that Rafael Guinness got money for a ship somewhere and went to the shipyard to finalize the deal. This is our “client”, you just need to catch him and threaten him with the gallows to get the money. Minus the innkeeper's remuneration, the reward is two and a half thousand.

The next opportunity to make money is to find out where Hells' competitor is fishing. The fact is that Summerlight has found a fishing spot, but, naturally, is in no hurry to share information. It should be noted that Summerlight loves to drink, you might have seen him in the tavern. He hasn’t gone anywhere, he’s still fermenting in the corner. We sit down next to him and carefully elicit information. I don’t recommend asking direct questions, otherwise Summerlight will suspect something is wrong and won’t say anything.

As a reward you will receive two thousand piastres. Total four and a half thousand.

Last day in captivity, we need to rest before escaping.

The last opportunity to get money is a meeting with Jacques Sparrow.

This is interesting: in fact, there are plenty of opportunities to get money, and that’s not all. However, if you followed the guide exactly, then after completing at least these three quests you will have enough money for a ship.

When you enter a store, instead of a seller you will see a pirate. He will introduce himself " Captain Jacques Sparrow,” and then... However, I won’t spoil the fun. Agree to help Jacques sail to Tortuga and go to the shipyard. The shipbuilder will tell you about a captain who just bought a corvette. Oh, and don't forget that you must keep Jacques's identity a secret. Find John Miner on the streets of the city, he will agree to deliver Jacques to Tortuga. We take one and a half thousand piastres and go to Vacker. The job is done, there should be enough money to buy the ship.

Now you need to transfer the money to James Nuttal so that he can buy the ship without suspicion. By evening you will find out that Nattal deceived you, and Bishop figured out Pitt.

Escape and the Spaniards

The large ship that was allowed to enter Carlisle Bay so calmly under a false flag turned out to be a Spanish privateer. He chose the time for the raid when there was not a single warship in Carlisle Bay.

His cunning remained so undetected that, without arousing suspicion, he calmly entered the bay and saluted the fort with a broadside salvo from twenty guns at point-blank range. Just a few moments later, two hundred and fifty Spaniards landed on the shore and took possession of the city.

The weapon lies in this chest, next to the woodpile.

Come in from the rear. While the Spaniards are fighting with your team, you can tickle them with your saber with almost impunity.

And first we need to free Jeremy Pitt. Beware of patrols. If it is quite easy to defeat one Englishman, then it is almost impossible to defeat two or three. I advise you to avoid meeting with soldiers; first you need to get a more solid weapon.

Right at the entrance to Bridgetown you will meet a Spanish officer. I recommend saving before the fight, since he has a pistol, and his fencing skills are also excellent. After defeating him, you will be able to remove a good saber and a long-barreled pistol from his body.

Our team is waiting at the shipyard, there is nothing else to do in the city, so go to the beach and enter the water. The door is barricaded, and you can only get inside through the slipway. You will also have to swim to get to the frigate; there is a gangway on the sea side.

The fight with the soldiers will be relatively easy, but with the captain you will have to work hard. Perhaps, after the key in the estate, this is one of the most “dead-end” moments. The point here is this: the captain kills our hero with one pistol shot. Therefore, do not rush to grab your saber, but run up close. In this case, the captain will not shoot, but will immediately go into close combat. Then everything depends on you.

Sea battle

All that remains is to break away from this lugger, and that’s all - freedom!

The frigate is captured. It would seem that this is freedom. But it was not there. To begin with, you naturally have a low “navigation” score. Pitt, of course, is a navigator, but his skill level is only 50. And to control a frigate without penalties you need at least 80 points. Receive penalties to all stats (-4 each), with all skills dropping to 1.

Now comes the surprise. There are two Spanish luggers in the roadstead. I think there is no need to explain that with such skill indicators you will not be able to shoot accurately, and the boarding will end in failure. Therefore, immediately throw everything you can overboard and keep your nose strictly to the wind. Luggers, of course, are fast ships, but they cannot catch up with the frigate. Remember, you have no chance in battle.

This is where the game actually begins. Instead of a small barque or brig, Blood immediately has a frigate. Carry out trade orders - you have a large hold, and they will give you a lot of money for transporting goods. By the way, don’t forget to fire the entire team, they are simply not needed. First you need to save up for a fourth-class ship so that there are no fines, and deposit the frigate in the first friendly port.

This concludes the introductory part. I deliberately did not give away all the secrets of the game, but next time I will tell you where to find the City of Lost Ships and how to capture Panama together with Henry Morgan. In addition, I would like to give a glass to Andrei Larionov, who, like an old sailor, led me through the underwater rocks and reefs of this wonderful game.
