Sailor 7 Beatrice
Have ye seen Artois Voysey's evil twin brother? Black boots, trousers, coat and hat with red trim, long grey hair and beard, and a very mean disposition that has increased with age. That meddling boy will cower before the might of Captain James, er, Hand! Smee! Where the blazes are you, Smee! The rusty, blood-splattered hook of Captain Uziah Wurmwoode has slit open more than a few gullets in its day, while this rotting wooden leg was formed from the corpse of a burnt galleon... and this pesky eyepatch simply WILL NOT stay on! Phinneas Wake, the Gypsy Captain, has spent a long time prowling the Spanish Main... and has the scars to prove it! Is it true what they say about redheads? Why don't you come here and find out, cur!

I'm feeling like a lucky master and commander today. Do you have anything to suit that?

I want to dress out like someone really, really poor. Don't ask me why.

Give me a good officer's costume. But forget the navy blue. This time, I want it in purple!

 

Your average captain's uniform. But make the colour slightly less vibrant!

This lass in black leather is hard to resist. But can she be trusted?

The kind of lady no sailor can fail to fall in love with upon first sight.

A slightly older man, looking suspiciously like a canonneer. A sailor in green. Why? He shouldn't draw attention to himself in dense jungles! Perhaps the uniform of an officer of the English Army is what is called for here! This uniform suggests that it's wearer might be an officer of the King's Musketeers! Surely a rapier is the appropriate blade to complete the effect! One of the more creative uniforms of any military, here is an armored breastplate, topped of with a most interesting stove-pipe hat! This outfit consists of a white long-sleeved shirt covered with a nice engraved armored breastplate, with a Portugese helmet to complete the equipage.

New items:

Bottle o'Rum

Brace of Small Pistols

Brace of Med. Pistols Brace of Large Pistols

Solingen Rapier

Jar of Leeches

No rum can get you drunk faster... A strap of three quick-draw handguns. More decorative than powerful, they were formerly used by French nobility for duels. Requires 'Gunman' ability.

Three mid-sized pistols on a band for rapid access. They are said to be the work of a one-armed, one-eyed Spanish gunsmith. 'Gunman' ability needed.

Only a great 'Gunman' may wield these two mighty handguns, hung together on one strap. Their origin is unknown, but their argument persuasive.

These fine blades were made in Solingen, Germany. It's shady how it ended up here, but it is known that Myles Standish, who fought in the Dutch Wars between Holland and Spain and later was hired as a military trainers by the Pilgrims, brought one of these blades to this hemisphere.

The quintessential Colonial-era cure-all. When applied to the skin, these little buggers (named Lenny, Benny, Jenny and Eduardo, respectively) will suck out the ill humours but leave the patient feeling a bit weak.

Ancient Tribal Tattoo

Sailor and Sweetheart Tattoo

A small chest of some sort of physic of an unknown nature, completely baffling and useless to you alone. A volatile liquid, used as a medicinal hypnotic, derived by oxidation of alcohol. Best to find someone who knows what to do with it.

Many an unfortunate soul has fallen prey to this solution of spirits and opiates, reducing themselves to mindless opium-eaters. Bears the label "Keep out of reach of small children".

A bottle of mysterious and ill-smelling liquid, presumably of some medical properties... though it's of no use to you as it is.

Before going into battle ancient tribal warriors received these markings, designed to strike fear into their enemies' hearts.

With its boat, burning village and bonnie lass, this tattoo is sure to remind any sailor of the sweetheart(s) he's got waiting for him in port - and inspire him to get there that much quicker.

Find all four these items and you can get your max health increased by the apothecary

Sweet-soaring and Free Tattoo Classic Anchor Tattoo Ancient and Ornate Tattoo Grenade Sandbag Cobblestone
This inspiring inky image is bound to influence favourable esteem among your crew, reminding them of the free and easy life at sea. A classic sailor's anchor and ship design, it will bouy your men into fighting harder to keep their vessel afloat.

Members of certain ancient church orders received these markings, to invoke divine providence.

Maims EVERYONE near the initial target, so don't throw short! Can be worn instead of a pistol.

A muggers favourite weapon: a blow on the head of an UNPREPARED victim stuns instantly (for some time!) but causes no sound and no alarm. Stunned people can easily be plundered... if no witness is near!

Don't underestimate its effectivity as stealth weapon. If you throw it from some distance the victim will be stunned and see only stars... for some time! Though anyone prepared for an attack will easily evade it. Can be worn, concealed in a beltbag, instead of a pistol.

Point and backedge of the thin blade have been blunted so that you can easily slip it under someone's belt. Then you can cut the belt with the sharp edge and take the victims weapons and purse in one swift motion. Your next swift motion should be the getaway... Razorsharp blade dipped in blood of the Archipelagean Poisonfrog, which kills slowly but surely. If you throw it from some distance the victim won't realize where it came from. Can be worn instead of a pistol.

Blasts nasty shrapnel splinters into EVERYONE near you. Barrel occaisionally gets jammed and charge blasts into your face!

Jar containing combustibles emitting a suffocating smoke. Slowly poisons EVERYONE who inhaled some of the smoke, so don't throw short! Can be worn instead of a pistol.

Looks like a flashy ceremonial blade, but the tip is poisoned with Belladonna. Even the slightest scratch will cause the victim's slow but certain death.

Emits anesthetizing vapours if thrown and broken. EVERYONE near who is not prepared for an attack will be dazed and stunned... for some time! Can be worn instead of a pistol.

A strong weapon that is rarely found in these dangerous waters. It has a shorter barrel than a musket and is usually used in boardings.

A very strong weapon that is rarely found in these dangerous waters. It has a longer barrel than a musketoon and is a primary gun for a fighting unit.

This is common battle armor made of steel; it is heavy and slows the movements. This common armor is made to not interfere with movement. Though this heavy plate is covered by gold, it is clear that it is made of another metal.

New Mods:

Bugfixes/minor improvements:

- Black ship databars problem fixed

- Automatic showing of the name of the character you're facing (toggleable in BuildSettings.h)

- Invisible random items in land locations visible again

- Quick-equip button: Will equip a sword, gun and spyglass if you don't already have all of them equipped

- Changed dialog for the French governor Joseph Claude le Moigne, so that it is clear which dialog options are English warship quest related and which ones are random pirate related. This should get rid of the confusion. Some other, even more minor things were changed too
- Changed dialog for the Redmond portmaster Laurence Wellman, so that he knows Rys's last name to be Bloom, instead of naming him Bloom, Blum and Boon. Again to save confusion
- Changed dialog for Rys Bloom, so that it's clear that when you say "Really, it's a big sum...", you do not hire him
- Toff Oremans gives you an excellent Saber of Nicholas Sharp instead of an average one for rescuing his daughter from the pirate. This because in the stock game, this used to be a very special gift, but since in Build 11/12 Sabers of Nicholas Sharp are rather common (quite weird actually; I suppose there was just one Nicholas Sharp) and it isn't a special gift at all anymore. Hope to have changed that

Stormy Start (Couchcaptain Charles):

Tired of starting the game at always the same place, of always listening to Malcolm's prattling, of always buying a spyglass and selling leather for a start? Not to mention seeing the French invasion for the umpteenth time. Well, I was, so I made this mod so that every start of the game will be a fresh challenge under different conditions.

Stormy Start adds an OPTION to Malcolm's initial dialog: you can cut him short and order to leave Oxbay port right away. As there is supposed to be storm raging which you have to ride out you will be driven to some desolate and possibly hostile beach with a possibly damaged ship and crew. As compensation you will have an (always changing) inventory of weapons and gadgets, and a cargo of contraband goods. Smugglers and those formerly only pesky highwaymen may help you out of your dilemma.

- Modifications in main plot following the storm which dumps Nathaniel in Douwesen with no ship.

 

Few character models switched:
- Cursed pirates changed into Mr. Blair (Cutthroat Island) and Captain Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean); I found it really annoying that they didn't look like cursed pirates or even pirates at all
- pirat10 and pirat11 skins switched, so the pirate captains don't use the Barbossa skin, but the black version instead; after all: There are not supposed to be 100 Barbossa's, right?
- Gregor Samsa (Oxbay Port) given the Greybeard skin as he's supposedly an old man and shouldn't be a real Barbossa look-a-like
- Artois Voysey and Nigel Blythe changed in their evil twin skins

 

And a whole lot more mods that I can't remember or can't bother to also mention, because I've run out of time to write this page
