"Corsairs: A Pirate's Story": walkthrough of the French and Dutch campaigns.

I would like to present to your attention the project Corsairs: A Pirate's Story - an add-on for the game Corsairs 3.

Corsairs: A Pirate's Tale

Burning horizons of the Caribbean, endless expanses of sea, sapphire bays and lagoons, rich cities fortified with powerful fortified citadels, jungles teeming with danger and adventure, pirates, privateers, merchants and adventurers, military convoys and golden caravans, powerful squadrons besieging ports and landing troops. to capture enemy cities, powerful forts capable of smashing the enemy squadrons besieging them to pieces using the fire of their coastal batteries, espionage, betrayal, secrets and fires of the Inquisition, conspiracies, intrigues, love and revenge, all this is available to the daredevil who dares to challenge fate against the evil of the prevailing circumstances around him.

So, the Caribbean, 16-17th century - a time of power, conspiracies and struggle
for power in the New World, which broke out between four powerful European powers. Only two goliaths - power and gold - rule in these places. And only dexterity, courage,
Yes, the devotion and dexterity of their comrades can resist the hegemony of these giants and force them to reckon with a new contender for honor and respect in these waters.

Climb onto the bridge of your ship, feel the coolness of the hilt of the blade with your hand, hear the howl of grapeshot and the ringing of cutlasses, know the joy of victories and the bitterness of losing friends, but prove that you can play a worthy role in the times when the British Lion and the French Lily waged a tough confrontation with the Castile power and Dutch gold.

The team of the add-on "Pirate's Story" presents you with a new game project - Corsairs: A Pirate's Story. The game is adapted for PC, and is based on the pirate epic Corsairs 3
and Pirates of the Caribbean.

At the moment, the work is at the very beginning and we offer you an almost alpha version of the game, in which you can get acquainted with our project, leave us your wishes and comments.

The version presented to you contains an incomplete part of the Dutch line of the game, as well as a far from complete series of quests and generators.

In the future, the game will contain at least five storylines for different nations and pirate brotherhoods and large number quest base of various lengths and themes.

With the aim of giving more interest to the plot of the game, as well as combining famous characters in one time period we had to give up some historical-temporal realities, but the game is based on a number of reliable historical events, somewhat revised and supplemented to give a certain effect.

Anyone who has completed the Corsairs game at least once would probably like to repeat the process again. The fact is that this game offers a unique opportunity to abandon earthly problems for a while and become a real pirate. You will have the opportunity to buy your first ship, assemble a team, gain authority by conquering the seas. Naturally, there is also storyline(campaign), however you can have unlimited fun by playing free mode. But sooner or later the game will end, there will not be a single corner of the planet that you would not visit on your pirate schooner. Then you will have to return to reality and abandon your “pirate past.” Naturally, you don’t want to allow this to happen, and the addition “Corsairs: A Pirate’s Story” will help you become a pirate again, completing which will return you to the familiar world of adventure.

Game description

Let's see what surprises the continuation of our favorite game has in store for us. What's interesting in the add-on "Corsairs: A Pirate's Story"? The passage here is divided into two campaigns, which consist of eight and ten story missions. In one of them you will become a Dutch merchant who will lose absolutely everything in a storm. Miraculously, he will be able to escape, after which he will begin his wanderings across the seas. In the other, you will have to immediately become a French pirate who, at the age of fourteen, killed an army officer in a duel and was forced to set sail to avoid imprisonment.

These two campaigns will again allow you to become a pirate, sail the oceans and capture ships, destroy opponents and pursue your cherished goal. In the game "Corsairs: A Pirate's Story" the passage is focused specifically on the main plot, so there will be less freedom of action, but the narrative will captivate you so that you yourself will not want to be distracted by anything else.

Passage of the Dutch campaign. Part 1

If you chose the Dutch campaign in the game "Corsairs: A Pirate's Tale", the passage will begin from the moment your hero Peter Hein survives the crash of his ship and ends up on the shore of the island on which the village is located. An old fisherman will take him in and give him shelter, but then the unexpected will happen - the village will be attacked by British troops, who will capture you. You will have to agree to spy against your own country. But pretty quickly you will be able to get rid of this burden. You will need to help one old sailor, who will give you his ship in gratitude, since he himself has been planning to retire for a long time. This is where your adventures begin.

First you will need to contact a banker and open a branch, after which you will have to commit a real scam. Together with two other pirates, you need to capture a ship carrying the bank's funds. Having done this, you will be able to deal with the rest of the pirates and take possession of absolutely everything. As you can see, completing the game "Corsairs: A Pirate's Story" presents you with an interesting choice, and this will happen more than once.

Passage of the Dutch campaign. Part 2

If you chose the Dutch campaign, the passage of the game "Corsairs: A Pirate's Story" after the quest with the bank will no longer turn in a different direction. Next task- find a bank where coins will be cast to order, and then for another bank, escort a caravan that other pirates will constantly try to attack. The last two tasks will be the most exciting. In the first, you will need to break out one of the important members of the pirate Coast Brotherhood from prison in order to convince them not to attack the Dutch ships. And in the second you will have to swim in search of a rare gift for the daughter of the head of the bank. In the game "Corsairs: A Pirate's Story" the passage of quests will be very exciting and interesting due to their diversity and unusualness.

Passage of the French campaign. Part 1

Michel de Grammont is main character second campaign, a French young boy who is in exile for the murder of an officer. Naturally, he chooses the pirate life for himself. This is how you begin the passage in the game "Corsairs: A Pirate's Story". France is just one of your opponents along the way. Basically you will have to fight with other pirates, proving your worth and gaining a reputation. This campaign is much more active and combative than the Dutch one, since here your goal is to become one of the best pirates in the whole world, having passed the way from a simple crew member of one of the True, the path will not be too long - only ten tasks. And already in the first of them you for military merits They will give you the first ship on which you will start “pirating”.

Passage of the French campaign. Part 2

During nine of the ten missions you will need to fight with other corsairs, as well as with those who do not like corsairs in general. Gradually you will become more and more famous among pirates, acquire more impressive ships and a more reliable crew, until last mission It won't turn out that you have been demoted. You will have to go to the king of France, where you will be pardoned and even given your own colony in which you can live and prosper.

1 PROLOGUE:
there are two options for passing - this is to sail away with the Frenchman and fall into a failure from the deck into the hold and stay... the second is without a bug and is playable without swearing towards the creators))
Remaining on the island, GG is captured by the British, where he is offered to become a spy against the Dutch. If you agree, we go to the pier and meet a person who offers us a way out of the current situation, after all, betrayal is a disgusting thing... We do what we are told and end up in Bermuda (the main thing is not to die in a fight).

2 Aldo Wildman:
In Bermuda we go to a tavern where we are attacked by two types... we cut them up, a man comes up to us and asks us to help him escape from the island with his beloved. After waiting for night in the tavern, we go to the house near which there are two guards, having removed the guard near the door, be ready for a fight inside... Having dealt with the thugs, we take the lady and run to the port where the ship is already waiting for us. Heading to Curosao. Having arrived at the place, the owner of the ship declares that he has decided to settle down and gives us his ship and also advises us to visit the head of the banking house (the head is in the moneylender's house in the room on the right).

3 Bank branch:
The banker gives us the task of opening a bank branch... We sail to Dominica and from a conversation with the residents we learn that a bank is needed there, we go to the head of the settlement and get his consent to open a branch.

4 Monitoring of branches:
Having received the task, we sail to Martinique and from the conversation with the head of the bank we learn that they intend to capture the stock market, he gives us several shares. On the way out, a man comes up to us and offers us a small deal... It’s your choice to agree or not! If we agree, we will find out that we need to attack a ship that is carrying good loot... We go out to the global and look for purple sails, we board and the bay is divided. One of the privateers refuses his share and we refuse the offer to divide 50/50. By removing our opponents we get a controlling stake!!! We return and give the task.

5 Golden guilder
Everything is simple here: you need to find a bank that agrees to withdraw money according to the order!
I hired the same bank in Martinique with an overpayment))

6 Caravan
First we buy equipment for the caravan, then we sail to Bermuda. When leaving the glabalka, be prepared to fight. Having collected the caravan, we sail back. The main condition: all ships must reach the destination!!!

7 Parliamentarian:
According to the assignment, we must go to the Coastal Brotherhood and persuade them not to attack Dutch ships. We are heading to Bermuda and in response to our request we receive an answer that one of the council members has gone to prison and we need to get him out. There is nothing to do, we will have to pull it out... We sail to Porto Bello and go to the commandant of the fort and offer a ransom for Zhivopyra. We return to the city and go to the tavern where we see a Spanish officer, help him up into the room and grab his uniform as we leave. After changing clothes, we go back to the fort and take Zhivopyra. It is important that the ship is in port, otherwise Zhivopyra will not go!!!
The whole thing is done heading for Bermuda!!! Having received assurance that the creatures will not attack, we sail to the employer.

8 Rare item:
The head of the bank asks us to find a very rare product in the Caribbean for the wedding day. We sail to Le Francois and talk to the smuggler in the tavern. He says that they cannot help us and suggests asking the merchants in the stores.
In order not to scour the entire archipelago, we immediately sail to San Juan. From our conversation with the merchant we learn that there is a person in the house next to the bank who can help us. We go there and find out that the person we need has sailed to Jamaica for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks we return and find out that his wife’s jewelry was stolen. We need to find them in exchange for the supply of rare goods.
You need to get around the street vendors (I was lucky the first time)!!! One of them has one of the stolen things, we click on the merchant and he gives us the one from whom he took them....
9 In the clutches of a lion:
This is the last task of the head banker.
So the head of the banking house tells us that our governor is looking for something
and this is probably the work of the British. The only normally developed city
for several kilometers this is Antigua, we are sailing to Antigua (it is advisable to have
a 3rd or 2nd class ship or a normal squadron) we cannot land at the port
so we land in the bay and there we meet a man who introduces himself to us
one of the survivors after the capture of the governor's ship, he tells us that
they are going to take the governor to Port Royal and we need to hurry because soon
he will be led through the jungle. Then this man who told us everything says that
he is an English spy. He will try to kill us with a squad of soldiers when you have finished everyone off
let's go into the jungle there will be another detachment of soldiers with an officer, we'll send these to
the underworld. We talk with the governor, he says that in one of the mines (dungeon)
The diplomats remained locked up and if we free them, he will generously reward us.
So let's go to the dungeon (stock up on healers there will be no officers there) there will be somewhere
about 6-10 soldiers with an officer when everyone is dead we go into the room there will be standing
diplomats talk to one of them and go to the ship. We sail to Curacao
and near the island we go out to sea and immediately move to the cabin and talk to the governor, he says that now we are in his service.
THE END OF Banking
P.S. Before completing this task, it is better to take your earned money
