Of course you do, and this little gem of a game will help you do just that. Due to the lack of an English specific guide for the game I have decided to pull together all the knowledge floating about the internet, smash it together with my own information from playing through the game a few times, and present it in a way that will hopefully help out my fellow English corsairs. The game is not easy, and you can outright fail the main quest lines, as well as miss out on a lot of content your first few playthroughs. I know this turns some people off and they like to have all that juicy knowledge at their fingertips, so that is what this is for. So without further adieu. Oh by the way. Save often... BA.1 Prologue In Sea Dogs: TEHO, you play as Charles De Maure, a flagrant layabout from high society France that has been summoned by his brother Michel to the Caribbean to save the family name. Arriving to the Fench colony with little more in his pocket than a sword and a prayer, Charles goes to meet his brother in prison and see what he can do. BA.2 Character Creation As Charles you have 4 different options to flesh out his backstory, such as it is. These options give a little wiggle room as to how you plan on playing your version of Charles, and also change the base stats in the game, represented quaintly by the acronym PIRATES. P is for POWER – This will govern the strength of your heavy hits, the amount of energy that striking will take depending on the weight of your weapon, and also effects your HP and carry cap. It also effects how fast you gain skill in the heavier weapons (sabers/cutlass, axes/broadswords) and cannons. I is for IMPRESSION – Effects your accuracy of cannons stat as well as your stealth stat, and how quickly it gains. R is for REACTION – Effects rapiers, cutlass, boarding, and firearms, and also determines how much energy you have. Energy is used whenever you make an attack. A is for AUTHORITY – Not to be confused with the Authority meter under your character in the game, this stat is used primarily to tell you how many officers you will be able to hire under normal circumstances in the game. It will be 2*A, so for example if your A stat is 5, then you can have 10 officers on your staff. This will include quest officers, though they will join you even if you are already at maximum capacity. Other than that Authority will govern how quickly your charisma and trading skills gain. T is for TALENT – This is the most important stat in regards to leveling in the game. This stat speeds up the gain of all skills, but more importantly determines how quickly you gain ranks and perks. The amount of skills it takes to gain a rank is 35 minus your talent, and perks are 40 minus your talent. This means if you choose a character start that has lower talent, you will end up being lower level and with less skills at the end of the game. While this sounds fairly horrifying, I do not find it to be of much importance really. You will gain all of the personal perks no matter(maybe missing 1 as a gunner, but I still do not think so) as there are only 19, and you will want to have officers manning all the different positions in your crew besides due to the wards(more on this later), so they will have the required ship perks. Beyond that it can actually be to your advantage to level up more slowly, depending on your play style. Many quests in the game have rank limits, and what that means is that once you hit rank 15, they will no longer be available to do, ever. These are MAIN STORY QUESTS. And MAJOR SIDE QUESTS.
