General discussion and questions about passing
The eldest was a smart kid. The youngest son is this way and that. In general, he was definitely a fool.

Plus, the developers went too far with the quests during which the main character loses his ship. You have to replay, change the game, leaving the main ship laid up in the port, and sail on some kind of tartan or lugger for the mission.
Compared to other parts, the player is very tied to time. He has little time left to engage in piracy, trading and completing side quests for his own pleasure. The success of completing timed tasks depends on simple luck with a tailwind, plus there is a bug when using the command “swim to...” it takes much less time than swimming to the same point on the world map.
The only thing that pleased me about this game was the trading. It really became possible to make money on it.

I recently deleted this game, although I also played for several months, then abandoned it, I didn’t like the too nerdy leveling of fencing, which, along with other Persian skills, increases very slowly, and accordingly, personal abilities are earned less often.

In general, the game is incredibly difficult. The time limits on quests are too steep, the opponents are crazy at first (only with the help of forts can you crush them), and from the very first minutes of entering the open sea at the beginning of the game you immediately encounter entire squadrons of the enemy. Natural tin. Moreover, it infuriates me that at the beginning of the game (until you improve your flag raising skill or patent West India Company you can’t buy) carry out missions to deliver some passengers and ships to the Spanish shores. And almost all the characters I met at first (at least in my case) ask exclusively to go to the Spanish colonies. But the story dragged on. The plot is good, compared to the old parts.

Plus, the developers went too far with the quests during which the main character loses his ship. You have to replay, change the game, leaving the main ship laid up in the port, and sail on some kind of tartan or lugger for the mission.

I liked the game, especially the story. He is above all praise. There are so many variations of the passage, literally everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The writers really did a great job, especially when, through dialogue alone, they gave all the NPCs real, living characters. I think even Stanislavsky would not have found anything to complain about.
Bright, dynamic battles that even at the end of the game make you tense and sweat. Although for a beginner (like me, for example, who had only played the first Corsairs before) the game will seem too difficult even on an easy level. However, you can adapt, you just need to devote more time to passing.
However, there were some downsides. The Storm engine is insidious and merciless, it always starts to malfunction at the most crucial moment. Although, oddly enough, I experienced crashes less often than others.

Personal skills are upgraded quite quickly. In general, fencing can be upgraded by stupidly making your way overland to a Spanish fort (while the noble hidalgos treat the character no better than a piece of unsavory stuff) and cutting down everything and everyone on the way. A couple of hours of real time, and your skill is already at a hundred. It’s better not to approach pirates with such things.

In fact, there is an opportunity to take both, although not forever, and even then with restrictions.

There is nothing complicated, just replay the entire Pirate Saga.

Spoiler

In order to take Mary back for a second visit to the OS, we must make sure that the prophecy of the gypsy woman that Helen talks about is not fulfilled. That is, you must either not return the chest with doubloons, or name Helen after her adoptive father, MacArthur, and not Sharpe. In this case, Mary agrees to board the ship and both girls will travel with the GG on the ship until the end of the Saga. Helen leaves at the end. Naturally, you won’t be able to choose between the two of them, only Mary.

For me personally, there are much more positives in this part than negatives. The work of the developers is visible in every aspect of the game, which cannot be said about many AAA projects that are driven by commerce and not by ideas. The only thing worth criticizing is the engine, which, unfortunately, is not always able to function normally on XP+ systems.

The speed of leveling up fencing depends directly on the style of play. It is logical to assume that if the player is constantly at sea, his sea skills will improve. As for me, this system is quite understandable and playable. I would like to add that skills increase faster when completing a quest, be it generator/plot/side quest.

That’s right, there is very little time for free play, except perhaps only at the stage of collecting a million pesos (if you collect these pesos not through the “Dutch Gambit” quest, but through trade and piracy).

Yeah. It's not viable at all, to be honest. Like a zombie. It seems to be moving, but who knows when something will fall off of it.

Compared to other parts, there are story quests that require completion over time, but this does not mean that you cannot choose the right moment for free play during the break between these quests

That’s right, fencing used to be great during boarding battles in fights with captains and the enemy team, but now to do this you need to generate quests for duels in cities using save/load and organize a hunt for local bandits, and fencing is barely growing.

Gentlemen. As a fan of the series with 7 years of experience (it’s scary now) I read your posts with interest.
First I’ll say a few words about how this game even appeared. There was (however, there still is) such a team of enthusiastic players, Black Mark Studio, which made a global modification for “City Lost ships" (previous game in the series) - mod pack 1.3.2 Adventure Tales. In parallel with the modification, they made a fan-made addition to the game - in fact, “To Each His Own.” Some addon ideas (for example, generated quests) were tested on a mod pack. The add-on was supposed to have three main characters (Charles de Maur, William Paterson, Diego Montoya) with three storylines connected to each other. When Akella, as the copyright holder of the series, saw what was coming out in the end, she decided to publish this project as a separate game. This is how “Corsairs: To Each His Own” appeared. In the first version of the game there is a plot only for Charles de Maura, since there was no time to refine the other two. Actually, the entire corsair community is waiting for the remaining two GGs and their lines to be added to the game. So far, the developers have released two relatively small DLCs ("Kaleuche" and "The Last Lesson"), and the third is coming - "Under the Black Flag".

Here's the thing. The previous game in the series, City of Lost Ships, was focused mainly on freeplay. Actually, the players had a lot of fun playing. The developers of KKS decided to shift the focus to the plot component. At the same time, freeplay as such has not gone away - between story quests you can have fun as the player wants.

Well, this game feature was known, again, back in GPK

But this surprised me. It is believed that in KKS freeplay the emphasis is on piracy and generated quests. Trading has become more difficult than in the Civil Procedure Code.

In one of the updates, leveling up of soldiers in the fort was cut down. Especially, as part of the fight against stupid people. As the developers explained, leveling up the hero is quite possible during side and generated quests - and this reveals the game more fully than endless slaughter for the sake of skill points.

In fact, the main character objectively does not need most of the ship's skills and abilities, because they are covered by hired officers (key positions are navigator, gunner and boatswain). You definitely need the ability to raise foreign flags (allows you to penetrate enemy cities), it’s worth upgrading the navigator abilities branch - its final perk allows you to ignore unnecessary skirmishes on the global map.

What’s good is that the plot of KKS is organically intertwined with the plots of, perhaps, all previous games in the series. With the second, third and GPK - exactly.

When it's pirates drowned ships? It's not profitable

It's strange why. Due to unique goods, rich capital is earned by trading simply. I'm talking specifically about free trade by the player, and not about quests from shopkeepers. We take goods where they are exported and sell them where they are considered unique. And if there is also an officer with advanced trade, then everything is great. Trade is made more difficult by the fact that there are many diplomatic obstacles in the game.
After completing one story quest, in almost all cases you are immediately given the next one. And if we take into account the fact that completing the quest is limited by a time frame, then there is simply no time left for freeplay.

"Corsairs" is one of the few domestically produced games that has gained worldwide fame. Many players appreciated the idea and how well the adventures they had to face were designed. However, it is worth noting separately last game series, called “To Each His Own,” is a kind of culmination, a collection of all the good things that happened in previous parts, and placing it within one. The result is a very interesting project that will allow you to try yourself in the role of a brave pirate who needs to sail the seas and oceans, complete tasks, and fight both on land and on water. And all this happens in open world, that is, no one ties you to a specific plot - you can sail to any part of the world at any given moment. You can earn money by trading, you can pirate and rob ships - no one limits you, so you can do what you see fit. Well, life here is incredibly rich. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to guide you through it - you will have to learn everything on your own, but the quests that you can receive during your journey can be described.

There are also add-ons in the game, such as “Corsairs: To Each His Own - Kaleuche”, the passage of which is not necessary to consider, since not everyone may want to purchase the DLC. The same goes for other add-ons. DLCs ​​such as “Corsairs: To Each His Own - Gwik” will not be considered here; the walkthrough will concern only the base game, so you don’t have to look for quests added to the game by downloadable content.

"Rum for the Bartender", "Call Girl" and "Return the Manuscripts of the Priest of Saint-Pierre"

The first quests that you come across in the game world are unlikely to present any difficulties for you. You are not required to do anything supernatural, special weapons or unusual ships, so you can safely take on them. The passage may take you tens, even hundreds of hours, because life here moves slowly, and if you want to enjoy it, you can take your time. But if you take on a quest like "Rum for the Bartender", you get yourself closer to finishing the game. So, in this quest you will have to meet real ghosts who will travel on an equally real ship. And it is from them that you will need to pick up the rum. To do this, first find out the password, which you will need to tell the captain of the ghost ship, and then meet with the ghosts themselves. By saying your password, you will confirm your identity and receive rum, which you need to deliver to the bartender.

The passage of “To Each His Own” can be different - it depends on the essence of the quest: in some cases you will have to get down to business immediately, and in others you don’t have to rush. For example, like in the “Call Girl” quest, where you will need to order a special woman prostitute for one high-ranking official. You will need to find out information about the desired girl from the pimp, and you will understand that you can pick her up only within an hour, from eleven to twelve in the evening. But any day, so there’s no need to rush.

But the quest “Return the manuscripts of the priest Saint-Pierre” needs to be done as soon as possible, but it is not difficult. You will simply need to deliver the manuscripts from one church to another, but at the same time you will have to prove that your thoughts are not dirty.

"Warehouse Worker", "Stolen Jewel" and "Cannibals"

The passage of "To Each His Own" will periodically surprise you, as you will be asked to complete quite a few unusual tasks. For example, " Warehouse worker" is a quest consisting of two parts. It will be given to you by a salesman in a store whose valuable employee, a warehouse worker, has disappeared. You have to find him. It is clear that there is no time limit, but you can immediately head into the jungle and find the pirate village, in one of the shops of which the missing employee will work. He will not want to return, so go back and tell the merchant the news. This will end the first part, but you can immediately start the second. The merchant needs a replacement, and in the pirate town you you will find. After paying a certain amount, agree to screen the candidates, and if you take a nap, when you wake up, you will see three pirates in the tavern who have expressed a desire to get a job. Choose one of them, whom you will send to the city. Next time you go there Show up, the merchant will say that you brought an excellent employee, for which he will reward you generously.

But there are also less confusing quests in the game, such as “The Stolen Jewel”. As you wander through the jungle, a scene will unfold in front of you - two natives will run away in an unknown direction. You can chase them, but this will not give you anything - completing “To Each His Own” requires a deeper approach. Better go to where they fled from, and there will be a corpse there. Examine it - you will find earrings. They can be sold quite expensively, but is it worth it? Again, think about what will be best for you, and ask the residents who these jewelry may belong to. It turns out that these are earrings stolen from the wife of the governor, who will generously reward you for the find.

If you want to fight, then you need to take the quest “Cannibals” - it can be found from one of the inhabitants of the post near the city. He will tell you that his friend is going to go alone to save his daughter from the clutches of the aborigines. Join him and go to the cannibal hideout - there you will have to fight, but when you do, it turns out that your partner’s daughter is alive. You will also find another hostage who can also be saved. As a result, both your partner and the rescued hostage will be rewarded.

"The Gascon's Burden" - story quest

After completing these tasks you will have access to story quest"The Gascon's Burden", which you can complete, but it will take quite a lot of time. So get ready for it and get started. Your goal is to buy a ship, assemble a crew and go to Guadeloupe. In the project of quests not related to storyline, will periodically help you advance to the finals. Naturally, there is no need to rush into this, but you should still understand that the game has a logical end that you must come to in the end. After purchasing the ship, you will need to go to the tavern, where you can assemble a crew in one go - there is one sailor there who is ready to offer you as many as forty pairs of hands, but only if you take them all at once and fulfill his conditions. They are quite simple - you need the ship to have the right atmosphere, food and medicine. You can buy a little bit of everything just to meet the requirements, but that's not all. You need a navigator, but he is in custody because he owes a large sum of money to a loan shark. Go to him and find out what you can do to give this amount. Right there you will receive side quest"Spanish Engineer", as you will have to rescue a fellow moneylender who was kidnapped by pirates. First, you can try to persuade the latter to give up the engineer, but as a result you will still have to kill them - in the game “Corsairs: To Each His Own”, completing quests often comes down to exactly this. Then you will have hand-to-hand combat with the Spaniard himself, who never wants to believe that you came to save him. Defeat him and lead him into the city, but avoid the guards. When you bring the engineer to the moneylender, the latter will give you receipts stating that the debt has been repaid - you need to take them to prison so that the navigator is released and the “Guadeloupe” quest is activated.

"Guadeloupe", "Caribbean Manners" and "Dishonest Competitor"

This is one of the most difficult quests, here you will find danger around every corner. Passing it may require great skill and dexterity from you in handling both your character and the ship on which you will sail. You need to sail to Guadeloupe, where the multi-level task will begin. First you will need to talk to one person who will guide you further. There you will learn about a collection of sabers stolen by the Indians, which you need to return, but you will not find it without the help of a native resident who was imprisoned. You can buy it for a lot of money, but there is nothing to do - you can only argue with the commandant and bring the price down a little. Having freed the Indian, you can equip the expedition, but at the same time you will still need to complete one job, which will be given by the quest " Caribbean customs"Again, danger awaits you around every corner, the passage is unlikely to seem easy. As part of this task, you will first need to deliver a cargo of cannons, sailing past the enemy port, then obtain important information by hiring a beggar for this, and then completely intercept an enemy ship with a cargo of gunpowder. It won't be easy, so get serious. Well, the next quest is basically running errands." A dishonest competitor"In the end, it turns out to be a smuggler who is interfering with a local merchant. Arrange a meeting and give him a warm welcome - it is not necessary to kill him, since he will pay a decent amount for his life.

"The Gascon's Burden. Continued", as well as "The Maiden in the Jungle" and "The Path of the Dutch West India Company"

The passage of the game "Corsairs: To Each His Own" is moving forward, and this is signaled to you by the fact that you can continue the quest "The Gascon's Burden". But first, try to get the "Maid in the Jungle" quest - for this you only need to travel through the jungle until you see a girl running away from three men. She will ask you for help, saying that her father wants to marry her to one person, and she loves a completely different person. In any case, tell the men that you will deliver the girl to her father yourself, and then decide whether to let her go and do a good deed or take her to her father and receive a reward. After this, you can begin "The Gascon's Burden." To do this, you need to return to Martinique and talk to your friend Michel, who is imprisoned. He will offer you several options for the development of events, which will start the quest “The Path of the Dutch West India Company”. The passage of the "Corsairs: To Each His Own" hall branches out here, as Michelle offers you three different options for achieving the goal. The first is joining the West India Company, the second is joining the English army, and the third is membership in a secret organization.

"Dutch Gambit", different options for passing

It will be very difficult to describe the passage in detail here, since it branches and can go in a variety of different ways. This is one of the most interesting parts game "Corsairs: To Each His Own". Walkthrough" Dutch Gambit", the quest that will lead you to the goal that interests you and Michel will take quite a long time. You will need to complete a large number of assignments, deal with dangerous opponents and carry out complex orders. One might even say, in some places you will have to look under every stone, completing this chain of quests may well require this. Whatever path you choose, the result will still be the same - you will complete all the tasks and collect enough money to free Michel.

"Million for Michel", "Pirate Saga" and "Shark Hunt"

Check to see if you have a million - because that’s exactly what it takes for Michel to be free. Of course, the amount is simply huge, and it will be a terrible pity to part with it, but it’s still yours. best friend. And most importantly, this is a key character in the game's plot, so don't skimp. However, in the part “Corsairs 3: To Each His Own,” the passage is not so simple that everything is limited to that. It turns out that there is not enough money to ransom Michel - you need to fulfill what he promised, but did not do. To find out what we're talking about, talk to Michel himself, find out a terrible secret - something impossible awaits you. Your goal is to take over and overthrow the local government! But the island has its own full-fledged fleet, how can you cope with this? This is where you find out that among the pirates there are those who are also not happy with the government on the island.

It's time to move on to the quest" Pirate Saga". In it you will have to find all the influential pirates who will be ready to join forces with you in order to storm Tortuga. But you will be missing one, the most important pirate - the legendary Shark. You will have to spend quite a lot of time, but, alas, everything your attempts will be in vain - the Shark disappeared without leaving a trace. But in the quest "Pirates: To Each His Own" the passage simply cannot reach a dead end, so you just need to be distracted by other things.

"Return of the Baron", "Island of Justice" and "Dive"

From this moment on, real miracles will begin in the game. You will need to find a shaman who makes special medallions that will allow you to gain access to the mysterious Island of Justice. Naturally, you'll need to run quite a few errands and wait a couple of months before the medallions are ready, but it's really worth it. Only then will you be able to continue moving in the game "Corsairs". The passage of “Island of Justice” may seem difficult to everyone, since this is a turning point in the game. After all, on this incredible island you will still find the Shark, and he will agree to join you, but for this you will need a ship, which, unfortunately, does not exist. And this whole quest will revolve around trying to get a ship for the Shark.

As for the “Immersion” task, miracles will continue here. The passage of the game “To Each His Own” will take a completely unusual turn - you will have to go underwater to discover an ancient Mayan city there. Such unexpected plot delights await you in this wonderful game.

The end is near...

So, the passage of the game “Corsairs: To Each His Own” is approaching its logical conclusion. You just have to complete a number of side and story quests to free Michel, capture the island of Tortuga, and also see many more different wonders associated with the Mayans. Spending time with this game cannot be called boring, and the project is not drawn out - you decide for yourself how long you will play. You can go exclusively through the quests of the storyline, or you can complete all third-party assignments and travel around the world. Naturally it doesn't cover this walkthrough"Corsairs: To Each His Own" ships, sabers, guns, ammunition and many other aspects that are not directly related to the plot itself. This is something you have to learn on your own, and you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun in the process.

The final

As a result, everything will come down to the search for an ancient relic - a Mayan mask. And, unfortunately, not only you will be looking for her - your “millionaire” brother Michel will also want wealth, betraying you and practically killing you. But here you can take revenge. First you will have to fight the Indians, and then Michel himself, who is the main boss in the game. Everything will become more difficult every minute, since you will already be fighting with everyone at once, including your brother. Well, everything will end, naturally, with your victory - if you have a real artifact in your hands, then you will need to finish off Michel, and then the final video will start. But the game does not end - you get the opportunity to further explore the oceans - pirate, trade, live, and, of course, complete those quests that you did not have time to do before.

Corsairs Each hero has his own weapon
You need to correctly calculate and select the weapon for your character. So: weapons are divided into types, broadswords/axes, sabers/cleavers, rapiers/swords. The weapon has attack/balance parameters, 84.5/1.1, and weight 4.4. The character has an energy parameter. If the weapon is heavy, then you spend more energy on the blow, depending on the type of weapon, your level, the blows can cause different damage, the maximum damage is caused by piercing weapons: secondary guns, SKM broadswords/axes, and LMB sabers. The optimal weight for a weapon, again it all depends on the level of your hero, at level 20 2.5 - 2.9, the higher the level, the heavier the weapon can be taken. If your character gets tired or gets a lot of injuries, you are also awarded penalty points, but it’s easy to deal with this, rest in a tavern, brothel, help the church. Carry out strikes with RMB, LMB, SCM. For the type of weapon, broadswords/axes are the best type of strike: SKM, sabers/cleavers are LMB, rapiers/swords are PKM.
Corsairs To each his own Captured captains
In order to hand them over to the authorities, you go to the governor and hand over the prisoners to the authorities for a ransom. But first of all, talk to the captains, maybe you will learn something new. Sometimes they offer you a lot of interesting things, use all the dialog boxes.
Corsairs To each his own Artifacts, amulets, amulets, talismans
In the game you can find various artifacts. The simplest of them can be taken in a fight or accidentally “found” among someone else’s property. More rare ones can be found in the cabins of ships taken as a prize or in the pockets of plot opponents. They can also be received as gratitude from the inhabitants of the Archipelago. Often the most attractive amulets, while enhancing certain traits or properties, at the same time have a negative effect, often of the opposite nature.
All artifacts are divided into three groups:
"Cursed" items: have a negative effect on the character and do not require equipment. The power of the spell cast on them is so great that you can only get rid of the effect of the curse together with the object, by throwing it away or putting it in a locker.
Charms: artifacts that have an unlimited duration are equipped in a separate slot (top left on the character diagram). These are the rarest and most valuable magic items. It is impossible to make them yourself.
Amulets: artifacts, of which there are many on the Archipelago, are equipped in slots specially designated for them. You can even buy them in any settlement. Local residents, representatives of the indigenous population, or wandering monks will be happy to sell simple crafts.
With the right luck and ingenuity, you can get your hands on an alchemical kit that allows the hero to make all kinds of objects, talismans and potions himself. You will also need:
recipe;
components (consumable items);
tools (necessary for the manufacturing process).
If you manage to get and study the recipe, the lists of components and tools will become known.
And, of course, all this becomes available only if the protagonist has the Alchemy ability.
There are three conventional types of magic in the game:
church (Catholics, Protestants),
native (Indians, blacks),
household/marine (superstitions of sailors and ordinary people).
Each type of magic is indicated by a stone in the icon in the upper left corner of the artifact icon: turquoise (blue) - church; jade (green) - native, coral (red) - household.
The stones are designed to guide the player in who to sell and from whom to buy the desired artifact (a merchant of “his” specialty will pay more when buying, but will ask for less).
Monks sell Christian artifacts. They give the maximum price for “turquoise” artifacts, half for “coral” ones, and pennies for “jade” ones (they buy them up to destroy the anathema).
Native crafts are sold by peaceful (without war paint) aborigines: they will buy “jade” amulets at the best price, half the price for “coral” ones, and “turquoise” ones for next to nothing (to mock at their leisure).
Household amulets, familiar to most colonists, are sold by ordinary traders. They will purchase “coral” products at the maximum price, while church items can be purchased at half price in order to resell them to the monks. Perhaps the laity will not get involved with the natives at all (mind me!).
Despite their origin, artifacts can work together, or they can turn out to be antagonistic.
Amulets of offensive and defensive magic are incompatible. Auxiliary magic is neutral, and therefore compatible with any of the previous groups.
The functional orientation of the amulet is indicated by a rosette under the stone:
necklace with claws: attack effect;
sun with rays: protective effect;
Celtic circle: auxiliary.
As a rule, “auxiliary” amulets neutralize the concomitant negative effects of the main amulet.
In addition to the amulets of the three main groups, which can be sold and bought on city streets, there is a fourth indication group, intended for rare artifacts: talismans, amulets, rare ammunition or equipment. The symbolic stone is lapis lazuli (i.e. blue with gold veins).
The rosette under the stone in the corner of the icon corresponds to the main function, similar to ordinary amulets.
In addition to the symbols listed above, you may encounter several more:
black morion in a bone rosette means danger emanating from an inactivated object;
white pearls in a bone rosette means that the item has useful non-magical properties, but you will have to pay something for its use (such an item carries both bonuses and penalties, for example, Rum or Wine);
yellow amber in the Kolovrat frame means that the object carries information that can be recorded either in Documents or in the Cartographic Atlas;
a golden star rune on a dark background means that the item is a tool with which you can create new items and which does not disappear after the first use, i.e. is not a component.
Members of your team - officers and companions - will not make independent decisions regarding artifacts, completely relying on the player’s choice.
