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.

  • AND FOREIGN SIGNS in MAYA WRITING Erik Boot
    LOANWORDS, “FOREIGN WORDS,” AND FOREIGN SIGNS IN MAYA WRITING Erik Boot Introduction The script now generally referred to as Maya writing had its origin in southeastern Mesoamerica, in an area encompassing the present coun- tries of Mexico (the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintano Roo), Belize, Guatemala, and the western parts of Honduras and El Salvador. The earliest now known example of Maya writing dates from circa the fourth to second century bce and was discovered in April of 2005 at the site of San Bartolo, Guatemala (Saturno et al. 2006). Classic Maya writing (circa 250–1000 ce) represented the different Classic Mayan languages through a mixed writing system or script that contained both syllabograms and logograms, i.e., signs that rep- resented syllables (e.g., ’a, ba, ma) and complete words (e.g., K’IN, TUN, YOPAT).1 In total some 650 to 700 signs were developed. In 1 In this essay the following orthography will be employed: ’, a, b, ch, ch’, e, h, j, i, k, k’, l, m, n, o, p, p’, s, t, t’, tz, tz’, u, w, x, and y. In this orthography the /h/ represents a glottal aspirate or glottal voiced fricative (/h/ as in English “house”), while /j/ represents a velar aspirate or velar voiced fricative (/j/ as in Spanish “joya”) (Grube 2004a). In this essay there is no reconstruction of complex vowels based on disharmonic spellings (compare to Houston, Stuart & Robertson 1998 [2004] and Lacadena & Wichmann 2004, n.d.; for counter proposals see Kaufman 2003 and Boot 2004, 2005a). In the transcription of Maya hieroglyphic signs uppercase bold type face letters indicate logograms (e.g., TUN), while lowercase bold type face letters indicate syllabic signs (e.g., ba).

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Pitbull FAN TV
    Presents PITTBULL Armando Christian Pérez (born January 15, 1981 in Miami, Florida), better known by the stage name Pitbull, is a Cuban-American rapper signed to his own label, Mr 305 Inc. His first recorded performance was on Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004. He has since released 2006’s El Mariel, 2007’s The Boatlift and 2009’s Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200. Pitbull’s breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo “Culo” produced by Lil Jon & The Diaz Brothers. In addition, Pitbull has also released several mixtapes, the most recent being Unleashed Volume 6, which are mostly composed of freestyles and remixes of popular rap music. Both thematically and musically, the 25-year-old is seen as a modern-day equivalent of earlier Miami rappers such as the 2 Live Crew and Afro- Rican. It was in fact former 2 Live Crew leader Luther Campbell who gave the up and coming rapper his first chance to shine. Apart from Crunk, his album shows clear influences from both Miami bass and freestyle. In addition to his musical work, Pitbull has also been featured in The Source expressing his stance on Dictator Fidel Castro and he was also part of their Unsigned Hype Section. He contributed to an essay published in the New York Post that criticized Che Guevara’s iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbull’s hit single “Dammit Man” produced by Jim Jonsin is featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, and he also plays himself in the upcoming video game based on the 1980’s Scarface.

  • MAGICAL AMULETS in Thai Culture
    MAGICAL AMULETS In Thai culture By Chris Jones of Thai-amulets.com There are four types of magical amulets in Thai culture. The term to describe these amulets as a whole is khawng-khlang, which may be translated as 'sacred, potent objects.' The first type is the khruang-rang, which means material substances transformed into stone or copper. These amulets will protect people if they are held in the mouth or on the body. They include khot, which are stones found in nature such as stone eggs or meteoric ores and various types of seeds found in jack-fruit and tamarind plants. These amulets are used mostly by poor people, since they depend upon being found freely rather than having to be bought. The second type is the phra-khruang, which are small statues or figurines of the Buddha which also protect the person or, if larger, a household. They may be cast from a mould or else be in the form of a votive tablet. These may be used to complete a vow – i.e. to thank the Buddha for a blessing – or else as a talisman carried around the neck. The third type is the khruang-pluk-sek. Pluk-sek means 'to arouse the potency of a person or object by means of a spell or incantation' so a khruang-pluk-sek is a more powerful form of amulet. Most of the spells used are incantations based on ancient Sanskrit verses – Sanskrit is known as Pali in Thailand. When the spells call for being written down, the Khmer (Cambodian) alphabet is used rather than Thai which is not considered to be suitable for magic.Khmer characters are believed to have runic qualities.

  • Maya Medicine*
    MAYA MEDICINE* by FRANCISCO GUERRA THE traditional dependence of the European historian on cultural patterns developed by Mediterranean civilizations tends to disregard pre-Columbian achievements in the New World. Our main cultural stream had its source around the 3rd millennium B.C. in the Nile, Euphrates and Indus valleys, when the oldest civilizations developed an agriculture based on artificial irrigation. Egyptians and Hindus worked metals, used beasts of burden and the plough, and established a system of writing; the Sumerians added to all these technical achievements the principle of the wheel. New World Civilizations In that far-off age the American Indians were still migrating southwards and establishing themselves in territories where domestication of maize became possible. To the three great American civilizations-Maya, Aztec and Inca- the wheel, the plough, iron implements, and the use of beasts of burden remained unknown until the arrival of the Europeans, although the Inca made limited use of the llama. A true system of writing going beyond pictographic representation was attained only by the Maya, but the Aztec reached the greatest military and political power without any such advances. Despite these technical limitations the pre-Columbian Americans could claim in a few instances some intellectual superiority over the Old World. The Maya possessed a philosophical outlook on life, a sense of balance, of architectural perfection and an unquestioned mathematical accomplishment which made them, so to speak, the Greeks of the New World. In the same way, the political enterprises of the Aztecs may be compared with those of the Romans; and carrying the simile a step farther we could find a parallel of agressiveness between Incas and Carthaginians.

  • Leaving the Mm:J.In to Ply About Lundy, for Securing Trade
    Rep. Lundy Field Soc. 4 7 IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK ENSIGN: LUNDY'S PART IN PIRACY By C.G. HARFIELD Flat 4, 23 Upperton Gardens, Eastboume, BN21 2AA Pirates! The word simultaneously conjures images of fear, violence and brutality with evocations of adventure on the high seas, swashbuckling heroes and quests for buried treasure. Furthermore, the combination of pirates and islands excites romantic fascination (Cordingly 1995, 162-6), perhaps founded upon the popular and sanitised anti-heroes of literature such as Long John Silver and Captain Hook (Mitchell discusses how literature has romanticised piracy, 1976, 7-10). This paper aims to discover, as far as possible, the part Lundy had to play in piracy in British waters, and to place that in perspective. The nature of the sources for piracy around Lundy will be discussed elsewhere (Harfield, forthcoming); here the story those sources tell is presented. It is not a story of deep-water pirates who traversed the oceans in search of bullion ships, but rather an illustration of the nature of coastal piracy with the bulk of the evidence coming from the Tudor and Stuart periods. LUNDY AS A LANDMARK IN THE EVIDENCE The majority of references to Lundy and pirates mention the island only as a landmark (Harfield, forthcoming). Royal Navy ships are regularly recorded plying the waters between the Scilly Isles, Lundy and the southern coasts of Wales and Ireland (see fig. I) with the intention of clearing these waters of pirates, both British and foreign. For instance, Captain John Donner encountered English pirates ':fifteen miles distant from Lundy Isle" in April 155 7 (7.3.1568, CSP(D)).

Not to be reproduced for sale or profit. www.jaguarstones.com A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE ANCIENT MAYA 3 HISTOry AND GEOgraphy The ancient Maya civilization was an advanced pre-Columbian society, which began on the Yucatan peninsula sometime before 1500 B.C. It entered its Classic period around 250 CE, when the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government and established a patchwork of city-states across what is now Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. Each city-state operated as an independent feudal fiefdom, with its own ceremonial center, urban areas and rural farming community. Over the course of the next 800 years, individual city-states rose and fell as they constantly warred with one another over territory, resources, and political influence. Building on the accomplishments of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Maya set about bringing high culture to the teeming jungles of Mesoamerica. They constructed palaces, observatories and dizzying pyramids that soared above the rainforest canopy. In major cities like Tikal, there were as many as 10,000 individual structures ranging from ornately decorated temples to thatched huts – all built without metal tools, wheels or beasts of burden.
