Corsairs To each his own Conflicts
QIP: May cause slowdown when receiving messages. Critical crashes may occur if the mode for displaying received messages as a pop-up window on top of full-screen applications is enabled.
Punto Switcher: background clicks and crackles when using some keys, crashes in the game application until it crashes. Fixed by adding the game to the Punto Switcher exclusion list through Settings/Applications.
Antivirus programs: may cause slowdowns gameplay, a short-term drop in FPS during naval battles or character movements during the daytime along the streets of settlements.
Windows 7, compatibility mode with XP SP2 or XP SP3: anchorages disappear in navigation mode (“Sea”).
Fixed by disabling compatibility mode.
Windows 7, installing the game on the system drive: game saves are located outside the SAVE folder (directory).
Use the system's built-in Search by save name.
Sometimes the sound of the game starts to work discretely, intermittently, and extraneous clicks and wheezing are heard. To fix the problem, correct the value of the parameter UseMM = 0 in the engine.ini file in the section (it was UseMM = 1).
The laptop keyboard does not have a NumPad. To take advantage of the advanced slowdown and acceleration capabilities, you need to enable its emulation mode (usually the key combination (Fn) + (NumLk)).
Ultra-compact models may not have this mode. If you are using a mouse with extra keys, then assign (Num+) and (Num-) to its unused buttons (use the On-Screen Keyboard to “click” these buttons in the mouse setup program).
Corsairs To each his own Character
The development of any character in the game directly depends on the values of his initial characteristics. Characteristics are measured with values from 1 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) points. You can view the characteristics of the hero, his officers, companions and passengers at any time by double-clicking with the left mouse button on the portrait of the selected character in the F2 Characters tab.
Power, Strength: allows you to hit hard or carry a lot. A defining characteristic for skills that require great physical effort, especially for weapon skills and mastery of blades of the “Sabres and Cleavers” (ST) and “Broadswords and Axes” (PT) types.
Affects the carried weight and the number of hit points.
Impression, Perception: the ability to see and hear. Without a good eye, cannon balls are unlikely to fly towards the enemy.
It has a particularly strong effect on the skills Accuracy and Stealth.
Reaction, Reaction: coordination of movements and manual dexterity. A clumsy person's saber will certainly get stuck, and the grappling hook will get caught in the pants of its owner. Required for such skills as: Boarding, mastery of blades of the “Rapier and Epee” (RS) and “Saber and Cleaver” (ST) types, skillful handling of “Pistols and Muskets” (PM).
Affects the amount of maximum Energy (any character initially has 30 energy points and each Reaction point adds another 10 points).
Authority, Leadership: the result of a combination of a courageous, wounded face and a well-hung tongue. The leader does not need to resort to force to take possession of the goods of a successful merchant; the latter himself will give up all the supplies. The best people will follow the leader, and beautiful women will be waiting at every port.
Leadership is a necessary attribute for skills such as Charisma and Trade. Affects the number of free officers ready to join the protagonist's current team (2 * Leadership).
Talent, Learning: knowledge, wisdom and the ability to quickly make the right decisions. A talented character will be able to quickly reload a weapon or easily reduce the price when hiring an officer. Handling navigational instruments also requires intelligence.
Affects Trade, Cannons, Navigation and, most importantly, the rate of growth of the game rank and the character’s acquisition of new abilities.
Corsairs To each his own Company of a hero
On the left side of the “Character” form of the main game interface block (in the F2: Characters tab), a list of all characters collaborating with the protagonist at the time of viewing is organized. The same list contains all possible positions of your officers.
Characters who are members of your hero’s company can belong to one of four types:
Companion. If you agree to accompany the ship of any merchant, he will become your companion for the duration of the trip. Also, those officers whom you entrust to manage the ships of your squadron become companions
By turning to “thinking out loud” in the cabin of the flagship ship, you can invite any of the companions to talk with the hero and give orders regarding his ship and its behavior in upcoming battles.
Officer - a character who stepped up to officer position(or positions) on the hero's ship. Officers whom you have hired, but have not yet appointed to a position, released from office, got rid of a ship they controlled, or picked up at sea after its death are placed in the same category. In the future we will call them “free officers.”
Passenger. Characters that you took on board with the purpose of delivering to some place and, as a rule, receiving a reward for this. Passengers of your ship also include quest characters (participating in story-based game events) characters on board the ship.
A prisoner is a character who is on your ship against his will. Any prisoner can be interrogated in the hold of the ship, and also find out his identity. You can most often obtain a ransom for him, and if he is a pirate, recruit him into the hero's campaign. You can captivate the passenger whom you have undertaken to deliver when he begins to resent the long failure to fulfill the obligations of delivering him to his destination. Those captains who surrender to you during boarding or are raised by you while on boats at sea also become prisoners. The largest ransom amount is given by the governor of the same nation as the captive, but it fluctuates, as does the opinion of the governors themselves about the value of the captive. Captured captains can turn to your hero with various requests. Don’t avoid communicating with prisoners: maybe it will bring benefits, who knows?
