Probably the best weapon is around China called Golden Dragon for striking. 2 hits I think is more than enough to defeat some enemies if you have good combat skills, or was it one? Can't remember, just ridiculously powerful. Going to install again, I used to play this as a kid, now I'll be a university student playing a kiddie game with fond memories.

Whoops, it's not Golden Dragon but Blue Crescent. Cheaper than the other ultimates and very good . But Magic Muramasa is also nice.

Anyone has uncharted waters iv orto estado??

i think theres only japanese and chinese versions of the game, but i still would want to play it

-hidden items, ships, heros and money routes-

here are a few items, ships and other things you cant buy through normal means, such as the holy armor and sword, amterdams ships, japans turtle ship, angel/dragon figureheads for your ship and more.

first, buy arts from athenes and sell them at istanbul, then buy carpets from istanbul and sell them at athenes. it only makes about 2-3000 gold per sell when you start off but after a few rounds the market price shifts, and youll be making more than you can spend. with fleets of them cargos, you should be makin around 10,0000 golds per sell. deposit the max amount possible in the game (i think 100,0000 gold) and make more until you hit the max amount the game allows u to have.

with the finance from this trade, go to amsterdam and invest at their shipyard. when their skill reaches 100%, they'll be able to produce ships called 'ship'. it costs around 32,000 for each ship but its the best in the game, even better than those venice pirate ships. probably the best ship in the game since its hidden. i could almost swear they have a way to buy marijuana from the item shop, but i havent found a way yet.

do a little more trading and go to naples. their youll find a hidden item shop on the right side of the town. go in at night (theyll be open at a certain time of night) and theyll sell you some kind of holy armor that costs more than any ship youll ever see, but it makes you invincible against attackes when dueling 1 on 1. they only sell it at night, kinda like a black market thing in the game. i cant remember if you have to invest or not for this item, someone let me know.
fill your crew to the max and no pirate will refuse a duel. and with this armor you wont be loosing either.

same thing for panama in the south americas. the item shop there will sell this holy sword that kills any opponent with a single blow. the attack rating isnt even A, it has stars instead of an alphabetical rating.

i know there are hidden figureheads such as angels, dragons etc. (that makes you invincible from storms or cannon ball attacks) and other hidden items but i cant remember how to get those. it also has something to do with investing at shipyards. if anyone finds out please do post.
china has an item that one of those guys in romance of the three kingdoms use to use, but i remember the holy sword at panama being better.
japan also has a hidden dragon ship, it actually looks like a box of nails with a dragon figurehead and asian sails. its not as good in combat as the hidden ship from amsterdam (although better than any other ship) but incase youre the peaceful type unlike me, youll find it better cuz it will move at full knot speed (20 right?) no matter how the wind blows. do the same investing and night shopping you do to get the ship from amsterdam to get it. i cant remeber which japanese port it was, but i think it was nagasaki.

if you like trading, theres a gold/silver route from japan to europe. japans gold/silver
is so cheap, you can buy em like candy. i remember that lisbon pretty boy having it in his mission.
oh, and dont forget to buy those potion items from beirut cuz theres alot of storms down in west africa.

if you want to hire them famous pirates, like heiden race, into your crew, bust em up and go to tripolis, there youll see him in a pub. if youre notorious enough, he'll work for you.

i havent figured out what benefits you get from economical investments, but im sure the game has some money making scheme coded into it. not too sure though, someone please

[another_guest]

1) You don't have to invest in order to buy "rare items" in the shops at night. Just be there between 2:00 and 3:00 at night (3 am is already too late, 2 am is fine).

2) For the special figureheads you need to visit the right ports (like Antwerp, perhaps also Amsterdam and one of the Japanese ports, don't remember which ones exactly), invest in their industry until it reaches 1000, then increase your luck by donating to the church. Since it doesn't matter how much you donate, but what percentage of your cash on hand, try to do it the cheap way: load as many ships as you can with gold, deposit the max. amount to the bank. Then start donating based on the cash you have left.
Same goes for the special cannons, though I don't remember in which ports you could get them.

3) First effect of economical investments is expanding the selection a certain market has to offer. I *think* it also affected the price you'll be paying or getting for your cargo. Plus of course it helps to keep a port allied.

Additional remark on trading: you can unbalance a port's price level by either buying several times in a row (preferably something very cheap like glass beads, as you'll be losing money on this transaction) without leaving the port (--> increases the price level so you can get a lot more for your expensive cargo), or selling in the same fashion (--> lower price level so you can buy cargo cheaply). Use this to increase your profits on a certain trade route. A good one is gold from either an African port or one of the isles in the Atlantic, somewhere west of Spain/Gibraltar (don't remember which isle it was) which you can sell at Lübeck (Northern Germany, you have to round Denmark to get there) or Genoa (North-west Italy). You'll have to invest in the African/... market though before you can buy gold there. Take silver on the way back from Genoa. Not sure what you could haul out of Lübeck but this port is giving awesome prices for silver and gold after you unbalance the economy.
By the way, I didn't invent this scheme, so thanks to whoever came up with this!

can any1 help me? there's a 16-bit ms-dos application error when i tried to open the program, i couldn't play it, it wouldn't work!
