sent or nonexistent. In Europe every square inch of land was part of  some noble
man's demise, and he or his family usually lived just up the road,  ready to enf
orce ancient feudal custom and law.       Firearms existed in this era, but were
 still newfangled weapons of slow  speed and dubious reliability. Throughout the
 1500s firearms were fired with a  slow-burning match. Reloading was a l  Nal  i

 TRADING WITH MERCHANTS -       The merchants in a town can buy and sell food, E

with the  astrolabe. An explanation of this technique is found later on in this 
document.       Search means you'll spend a day searching for treasure or other 
hidden  things at your present location. If you're in the right spot, and have t

 by a fort, the fort may open fire on your ships if that nation is  hostile. If 
the nation is wary, the fort generally will not fire unless the  governor person
ally dislikes you    The speed of a ship depends on how the wind blows against i
t. Travelling   directly into the wind is always slowest. Travelling with wind c
oming  diagonally from the rear is generally the fastest. Each type of ship has 
a  different "point of sailing" (the wind position at which the ship develops  m
aximum speed). What with shifting winds and periodic storms, sailing requires  m
ore than a little judgement and skill.       If you have a fleet of many ships, 
the entire fleet travels at the speed of  the sin.       March into Town means t
hat your entire party walks into town openly and   peacefully. This option is av
ailable only if you arrive by overland travel.       Attack Town has different e
ffects, depending on whether you arrive by land  or by sea.       If by land, yo

d brave enough!) garrison, they may sally out and meet you  outside in a land ba

ong, fast wind if  you are near, but may trap our ship if you sail too close.   
 Shoals & Reefs     You can see where the sea breaks across shallow reefs and sh
oals. If you  pass over these,troops may sit in the fortress or town, forcing yo
u   to lead your men against them in close-quarters hand to hand combat (see  FE
NCING & SWORDPLAY).       If by Sea, you flagship will have to fight a naval bat
tle against the fort  (see BROADSIDES, later in this document for details). Your
 goal is to sail your  ship to the shore near the fort, so you men can land and 
storm the seaward side  of the fortress (see FENCING & SWORDPLAY). Naturally, th
is is rather dangerous,  what with the fort's guns firing at y one of your ships
 could lose its bottom. Pinnaces and sloops  have a very shallow draft, allowing
 them to sail across the hazards without  risk.    Anchoring     You can only an

 some quiet   business. However, if your reputation is large, you may be recogni

your  "Captain's Broadsheet" for details on controls. Of course, the land is mos
tly  trackless jungle, swamps and mountains, making overland movement very slow.
       When moving on land your party can carry only as much as you can fit  N m

 constant 77 degrees F. This steady sea temperature maintains a pleasant climate
  on the surrounding land, although weather and elevation cause notable  variati
ons. The most extended period of bad weather occurs in the summer and  fall, fro
m June to November, with hurricanes not uncommon in the later part of  this seas

 time to divide the plunder, and I found my officers  were getting three pieces 
o' eight to my one. No profit in that, thinks I, and  go 'venturing next time wi

                          ENCOUNTERS AT SEA -       Sail Ho! Your first sighting
 of an enemy ship is its sails and masts coming  over the horizon. Continuing yo
ur voyage is a nearly foolproof way to evade any  encounter. Investigating the s
ail means you automatically close on the other  ship.    Ship in View     If you
 investigated the sail, you'll now n battle is similar to travel by sea. You can
 turn right, turn  left, or remain on course.    Change Sails     You can either
 Set Full Sails for maximum speed in battle, or Reduce to   Battle Sails for low
er speeds with much less risk of rigging damage. You begin  battle with battle s
ails set.    Fire Broadside     Push the Fire Broadside key to shoot. Your gun c
aptains automatically fire  the side of the ship nearest the enemy. Remember, yo
ur guns are mounted along  the left and right sides of the ship. see the whole s
hip. If you sail  away now, you may evade contact, but maybe not. Instead you ca
n continue  investigating, which closes the range further, allowing you to deter
mine the  ship's nationality.    See Her Colors     After the other ship hoists 
its colors, you can try to sail away peacefully,  come alongside and talk over t
he latest news, or attack her. If the ship is a  pirate or pirate-hunter, it may
 recognize you and attack, regardless of your  choice.    Select Your Flagship  
   if a battle Therefore, to aim your guns, you must   turn the ship so its side
 faces the enemy.       After a broadside is fired the gun crews reload as fast 
as possible.  Reloading speed depends on morale of your crew. A happy crew loads
 faster than  an unhappy one. Enemy reloading speed depends on the quality of th
eir crew  (warships, pirate-hunters, and pirates have better quality crews than 
peaceful  merchantmen and cargo fluyts). Reloading is temporarily halted if you 
change  your sails - the gun crews are needed toccurs and you have more than one
 ship, you can select which  will be your flagship. The ship you select fights t
he battle. In the example    to the left, you have four ships in  "We have 44 me

           your flagship. Consio aloft to handle the sails.       The effect of 
gunfire varies with the number of guns firing, and the size of  ship hit. For ex
ample, an broadside from a 20-gun ship into a galleon may have  little effect wh
ile the same into a pinnace might leave her a flaming wreck.    Pause  Press the
 Pause key to halt the action, and again to resume it.    Escape From Battle    
 To escape from a naval battle, sail away from the enemy. Once the distance  bet
ween ships is large enough, the battle ends automatically. Inder your choice    
      Sloop                              carefully, since the type of ship      
    Sloop (damgd)                      you're sailing can be important in       
   Pinnace                            battle.         The number of men and guns
 available for battle is a theoretical figure. If   your flagship is small, you'
ll find the number of men and guns limited by the  capacity of the ship. See "A 
GAZETTEER OF SHIPS" for information about each   addition, in a  long action, ni
ghtfall may end the fight.       If you escape from battle and the enemy ship is
 undamaged, you may lose a  ship to enemy pursuit. This is only a danger if you 
have two or more ships.    Grapple & Board     If you sail your ship alongside o
r into the enemy, the ships automatically  grapple for a boarding battle. You mu
st lead your men into the fight. See  FENCING & SWORDPLAY, for more information.
      PRIZES & PLUNDER -    Prizes     When you win a battle at sea, you can ety
pe of ship. Furthermore, it takes four (4) or your crewmen to man each gun.  If 
your crew is too small, you may have fewer than the maximum number of cannon  av
ailable.       The ship you select remains your flagship until the next battle. 
     BATTLE AT SEA -       When an encounter leads to battle, the scene changes 
to a ship-against-ship  duel. The color of a ship's hull matches the color of it
's name below. See the  "Captain's Broadsheet" for specific control information.
    Sailing     Maneuvering i  Nither take the enemy ship for your  own (send a 
prize crew), or you can just take its cargo, while burning and  sinking the ship
 itself. After the battle you'll get a report about the enemy  ship's armament a
nd capacity, as well as the empty space remaining in the holds  of your fleet.  
     In general, taking a ship prize is useful, since you can sell the ship as  
well as its cargo at a friendly port. This disadvantages are that a slow-  saili
ng prize will slow down your entire fleet (Spanish galleons and leon with a pinn
ace. Aye, I did it meself  off Yucatan. 'Twas a laggardly galleon from the Treas
ure Fleet, beating upwind  to Havana. We took the weather guage, danced around h
er broadsides, gave her a  few cannonades into the stern, and boarded 'em. Our f
iren' had the Dons half  demoralized already - I bloody'd 'em some, and the batt
le was done.       Tis my opinion that yer main choice is the flagship. 'Gainst 
a fore'n'-aft  rig ye need similar, sloop preferred. Otherwise they'll just esca
pe upwind.  Takibadly  damaged ships are especially slow sailers). Furthermore e
ach prize requires  eight (8) men to handle it. This means eight fewer men avail
able for battle on  your flagship.       For example, if you capture a 100-ton m
erchantman and you only have 80 tons  of space available in your fleet now, and 
the merchantman is full of cargo,  you won't have enough space for everything. O
n the other hand, it's unlikely  the merchantman will be completely full, and sh
e may slow down your fleet  considerable. If speng down fluyts and merchantmen '
tis oft a job for a fore-'n'-aft rig, but  it's right dangerous using such 'gain
st a frigate or galleon. A couple  broadsides and yer swimmin' with wood chips. 
Besides, in strong winds a square  rigger on broad reach outruns a fore-'n'-aft.
 Suchlike times, I oft take a  square-rigger meself, so the swabs don' take a po
wder and disappear over the  horizon.       When I'm engagin', I always rig full
 sails and get a broadside into 'em  quick t' slows 'em down. With all me sail s
ed is important to you, perhaps you should sink her.    Plunder     Regardless o
f whether you take the ship prize or sink her, you must decide  what you wish to
 plunder and call your won, and what you wish to leave behind  (throw overboard)
. You'll automatically take all the gold from the ship.   Compared to its value,
 gold weighs virtually nothing, and therefore doesn't  affect your cargo capacit
y.       Transferring goods to your ship, or throwing things overboard, works ju
st  like trading with merchantset, I dance 'bout 'em smartly.   'Course, this is
 right dangerous work, wince I canna' afford to take any fire,  elsewise I'll lo
se plenty of sail and perhaps a mast. I've seen other Capt's  just run broadside
 to broadside under battle sail, poundin' away. Then I'se  knows fellows who har
dly fire a cannon. They sail up and board directly,  trustin' t' cold steel. So 
'tis really a matter of temperment, d'ya see       Me most terrifyin' battle was

hings behind.      AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULTS ON TOWNS -       If you sail into a town 
and select Attack Town, you begin an amphibious  assault on that town. In an ass
ault, your flagship must sail up to the fort  guarding the town, touching land a
s close to the fort as possible. If you land   too far away, the men will refuse
 to march and seaside. Those two forts mounted 24 cannon. I'd a merchantman  for
 the flag, givin' an even match in firepower. But we was approachin' with  the w
ind on the quarter or towards the bow some. I had me choice of sailing bow  in a
nd taking it wi' no chance a' reply, or turning a broadside but falling off  dow
nwind. We tride a couple braodsides 'n' knocked out a few guns, but lost a  mast
. Soon we was a' fallin' off seriously, the hull leakin', and no way back  upwin
d. Befor' we was sunk I put back out to sea, pthe assault ends in failure. If  y
ou land close enough, the men jump ashore and storm into the fort, leading to  a
 fight on he battlements (see FENCING & SWORDPLAY). The number of men   particip
ating in the assault is limited to the number that can fit on your  flagship.   
     As in normal sea battles, you can retreat (end the battle) by sailing away.

ee the GAZETTEER OF SHIPS for more information.    The Weather Guage     A ship 
upwind (closer to the wind source) than another has the "weather  guage". With t
his advantage a ship can run downwind and rapidly attack its   opponent, while t
he enemy must laboriously tack upwind to reach it. The  weather guage was especi
ally valuable protecting for smaller ships. Their   for-and-aft sails allowrmy! 
Your men can fight in two ways. They fire muskets a short distance, or  they mel
ee with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. In melee combat, everyone  participate
s, not just those armed with muskets.       Musket fire occurs when your men are
 stationary. Each group selects the  nearest enemy within range and fires. If no
 enemy is within range, that group  doesn't fire. Remember, your men cannot fire
 while moving!       Melee Combat occurs whenever your men move directly into an
 enemy group, or  vice versed them to sail into the wind faster. These  ships of
ten had oars to permit movement directly into the wind. A small ship  with the w
eather guage can tack back and forth across the bow or stern of a   much larger 
ship, firing broadside after broadside with impunity.                           
PIKE & SHOT THE TACTICS OF LAND BATTLE                           The English, Fr

ur party  and most defenders are on foot, some larger Spanish towns field cavalr
y forces  that move fast and are excellent melee fighters on open ground. Cavalr
y,  however, lacks long-range muskets and is hindered greatly in woods.    Visib
ility     Men in woods and within a town are invisible to the opposition. You'll
   notice that enemy troups disappear in such situations. When you are in woods 
 or a town, the enemy loses sight of you. Use thisy came from Spanish towns. But
 gaining these  riches meant they had to overpower small armies of Spanish regul

    When your party marches overland into a town and selects "Attack the Town", 
 the town's defenders may form a small army, march out, and meet you in open  ba
ttle. If the defenders are especially cowardly or weak, no land battle  occurs -
 your men storm into the fort or the town's streets.    IMPORTANT     Controllin

n luring the enemy in range by  exposing another group.    Terrain Effects     W
oods, town buildings, and marshlands slow down all troops. In addition,   woods 
and buildings provide cover from enemy fire. This means the troops take  fewer c
asualties and cannot be hit at long range. Enemy forces have small  coastal boat
s available, allowing them to sail quickly over water. Your men,  however, must

 WORD ABOUT YOUR GOALS -       From a humble start, you are seeking to make your
 fortune in the West Indies  so that you can retire to a life of wealth, ease, a
nd high status. The quality  of your retirement is a sum of your personal fortun
e, your rank, your lands,  your reputation, the wife you marry (if any), and wha
tever especially pleasing   events befall you during the course of your adventur
es.       After any voyage, when you return to port and divide up the plunder, y
o  Nerienced,   skillful leader. To do well, you also should be an experienced l
eader.    John Hawkins, 1569     This is a fairly difficult situation. You have 
a large, powerful squadron,  but are in a totally Spanish Caribbean. The only fr
iendly ports are tiny  anchorages. In reality, Hawkins tried to be a peaceful tr
ader (sometimes at  gunpoint - a most peculiar combination), and failed. See Fam
ous Expeditions  for additional background information.    Francis Drake, 1573  
   This is a very difficult situatilitary  and economic power waxed and waned, n
ew colonies appeared and old cities  declined. The region gradually changed from
 total Spanish dominion in the  1560s, to a wild frontier for European colonizat
ion, and eventually to a   cosmopolitan nexus in a new global economy.    The Si
lver Empire (1560)     In this era the Spanish Empire is at its peak. all the co
lonies (with one  lonesome exception) are Spanish, all the major ports and trade
 are controlled  by Spain. However, Spain's gains have been so grion. Like Hawki
ns, you are faced with a  completely Spanish Caribbean, but now you have a small
 force. In reality, after  a few false starts, Drake's boldness and bravery made
 him successful.  See  Famous Expeditions for additional background information.
    Piet Heyn, 1628     This is a fairly easy situation. You have a balanced tas
k force, and are   admirably positioned to intercept Spanish treasure galleons o
ff the Havana or  in the Florida Channel. Equalling Heyn's feat of ambushing the
 entire Treasureeat other Europeans are  attracted to steal and plunder whatever
 Spain cannot protect. Because of Spains  great power, this is an extremely chal
lenging era, and should not be attempted  by novices. See THE SILVER EMPIRE (156

very similar to The Silver Empire, but Spain is slightly weaker.  A few abortive
 non-Spanish colonial ventures have begun, but the Caribbean   remains essential
ly Spanish. Another change is the predominance   Fleet will take a combination o
f good luck and persistence at the right place  and time. See Famous Expeditions
 for additional background information.    L'Ollonais, 1666     This is a fairly
 easy situation. You have many potentially friendly bases  and militarily weak S
paniards. However, duplicating L'Ollonais' achievement of  conquering and plunde
ring the entire Maracaibo region may prove taxing. See  Famous Expeditions for a
dditional background information.    Henry Morgan, 1671     This is a very eaof

novices.  See MERCHANTS & SMUGGLERS (1600 - 1620) for more information.    The N
ew Colonists (1620)     This era sees the first successful colonies founded by t
he enemies of Spain,  while Spanish power continues to decline. With these colon

 English is often a useful nationality. This nation supports privateers into  th

in the next Century.       French is the second classic Nationality for pirates.
 Although this nation  provides less support to its sons overseas, it also gives
 them more independence  and more freedom of action. Furthermore, the growing 17

broadsides more  likely to land on-target.       Wit and Charm is useful when de

their trading with more violent and  profitable pursuits. As a rule, Dutch trade
rs tried to stay on the good side of  the French and English, although this was 
not always possible.       Spanish is the most challenging nationality. As a Spa

m the 1530s onward, Spanish ships suffered from privateers and outright  piracy,
 not only in the West Indies, but also in the Atlantic. Spain's solution  adopte
d informally in the 1560s, was to "convoy" ships together in one powerful  fleet
.       Each year the fleet ("flota") sailed from Seville in Spain, carrying   p
assengers, troops, and European trade goods to the Spanish colonies of the new  
world. However, its     Coro - Early June          Puerto Bello - Late December

 (and sometimes did)  turn the tables and capture a pirate!          Similarly,

ation. Similarly, all  retreating combinations cause you to back away from your 
opponent.       Slashing High takes the longest period of time to execute, but h
as an extra-  long reach. If it hits, this combination does twice the darved cle
aver with a mean edge but short   reach. Cutlass hits can be devastating (twice 
as damaging as a rapier) making   it a popular weapon among untutored fighters. 
      The longsword is a classic weapon of medium length (longer than a cutlass,
  shorter than a rapier). Its attacks do more than a rapier, but less than a  cu
tlass.      THE PRINCIPLES OF FENCING -    Combinations     Like all active men 
of your time, you are a trained swordsman. Attacking and  defensive movements, i
ncluding wrist, arm, bomage of a normal  attack.       Slashing Mid-Level is a f
aster slash, but slower than normal attacks and  parries. If it hits, this combi
nation does double the damage of a normal  attack.       Slashing Low is the fas
test slash, but has a slightly shorter reach. If it   hits, this combination doe
s twice as much damage as a normal attack.       Attacking High is a moderately 
fast attack that exploits the point rather  than the edge of a weapon. It has a 
longer reach than mid-level or low attacks  and slashesdy, and footwork are as a
utomatic  as throwing or kicking a ball. Put together, these motions form "combi
nations"  that allow you to attack, parry, or retreat in various ways. Each comb
ination  takes one to two seconds to execute.       In battle, victory depends o
n selecting the best combination. If you   recognize an attacking combination fa
st enough, you can block it with a   defensive combination, or counterattack wit
h a combination that exploits his  attack.       A "hit" occurs whenever an atta
ck conn. If it hits, this combination does half as much damage as a slash.      
 Attacking Mid-Level is the second-fastest attack. It also emphasizes the   poin
t, rather than the edge. Therefore, if it hits this combination only does  half 
as much damage as a slash.       Attacking Low is the fastest attack, but has a 
slightly shorter reach than  normal. Like high and mid-level attacks, it uses th
e point. Therefore, if it  hits this combination only does half as much damage a
s a slash.       Parrying High countersects. You'll see a flash and a hint of  b
lood when you hit. Each hit weakens your enemy and demoralizes his followers.   
    Retreat from battle is easy. Just select retreat combinations until you move
  off the screen. This ends the battle. Of course, you lose whatever you were   
fighting over and your reputation suffers. On the other hand, when facing a   sk
illful enemy, retreat is often better than defeat!       Panic & Surrender occur
s whenever a leader in "panic" is hit. It also occurs  in large battles any high
 combination, attack or slash. As high   attacks are slower developing than mid-
level or low, defensive fighters rarely  stand "on guard" in a high parry.      
 Parrying Mid-Level counters any mid-level combination, attack or slash. This  i
s a classic "on guard" position to which many swordsmen return. A fencer can  mo
ve from this position to any other position very quickly.       Parrying Low cou
nters any low combination, attack or slash. Experienced  swordsmen periodically 
stand "on guard" in a l when a leader's forcer are reduced to just one man, and 
then  he is hit. Striking a man who surrendered is an unchivalrous deed that may
   inspire him to rise and fight on.       Novices are advised to select a cutla
ss and just keep attacking, high, low,  and middle, relying on the large damage 
done with each hit. However, if you'd   like to defend yourself with some parry 
combinations, a weapon with more reach,  such as a longsword or rapier, is recom
mended.      COMBINATIONS -       Each combination is d  Now parry, since low at
tacks can  develop very quickly.       High Parry & Retreat combines the standar
d high parry with backpedal foot  movements that move you away from your opponen
t.       Mid-Level Parry & Retreat combines the standard mid-level parry with  b
ackpedal foot movements that move you away from your opponent.       Low Parry &
 Retreat combines the standard low parry with backpedal foot  movements that mov
e you away from your opponent.      LEADERSHIP IN BATTLE -        Only a few of 
your battlh is  right handy. But it takes too bless'd long to do in the oppositi

ime you are  leading your stalwart crew against the enemy. As you duel the enemy
 leader,  your crewmen are also fighting.    Morale     Your hits against the en
emy leader, and his against you, change the morale  of each side in battle. Mora
le levels run from WILD! (the best) downward  through STRONG, FIRM, ANGRY, SHAKE
N and finally PANIC.    Number of Men     As you fight, a battle rages around yo
u. The rate each side suffers  casualties depends on their strength and d a cutl

 very low morale. Therefore, morale can be more  important than numerical compar
isons.    Retreat & Surrender     You can lead your men into a retreat from batt
le by retreating yourself.  Surrender occurs when you inflict sufficient hits on
 an enemy leader in "panic"  or when you've reduced the enemy to just one remain

tain is nothin' but a big bully. Unschooled in fencing,  he'd carry a sharp cutl
ass and swing away, knowing that a spine-splittin slash  do'd more than a half d
ozen rapier thrusts. I hear Blackbeard himself, who   always used a cutlass, was
 run through several score times by a rapier before   he fell. He'd not lasted s

th a smaller  bunch danced around in a field just beyond the marsh, howlin' and 
carryin' on.       Thinkin' us weak and stupid, the Spaniards charged toward us.
 Their cavalry  hit the marsh first and blam! They was droppin' like acorns in a
 storm. In a  minuted we'd 'em decimated and panicking back to town. Then we dan

master, but I had some schoolin' in the art of cold  steel. I'd use a cutlass to
 terrify poor, inept merchant Captains, slashin 'em  up and chopin' 'em down qui
ck as a slipped anchor. 'Gainst most opponents I   preferred me longsword. Toled

lash much, since it slowed me down and exposed me  too long. Now I know rapiers 
are all the rage now, and their extra reac  Nelled some more and their infantry 
came up. The Dons stopped in the marsh and  returned fire, brave like, but we ha

rs decades before regular troops were issued the  weapon. The buccaneers had unc
ommon accuracy and skill with their weapons  because they relied on them for hun
ting ashore. Buccaneer firepower was among  the most accurate on earth at the ti
me. Furthermore a risk-all, gain-all   attitude made buccaneers ferocious oppone
nts in melee. No wonder many Spaniards  ran from the crack-shooting, cutlass-wie
lding berserkers of Tortuga and Port  Royale.       The great weakness of the bu

indecisive, with many desertions before and during  the battle.    Drakes Assaul

 warfare in the 16th and 17th Century saw the supremacy of infantry   restored a
fter the long reign of the mounted knight. In Europe the Spanish  Tericio was th
e great military system of the 16th Centurship  Elizabeth Bonaventure led a flee
t of ships to Cartagena, fresh from the  plundering of Santo Domingo. His ships 
anchored in the roadstead, outside of  the range of the forts. That night, while
 the Spanish prepared for a naval  attack into the harbor, Drake disembarked ove
r 1,000 men onto the harbor  large outer peninsula and marched over the sandpit 
connecting this to the city  proper. There his men cut through a fence of poison
ed barbs, waded out to  sea to avoid the gunfire from Spanish ships anchory, as 
formidable in  its day as the Roman legions. The Tercio was a solid block of pik
emen, 16 or  more ranks deep. It developed an awesome power charging forward, as
 well as  nearly invincible bristling defense against cavalry. Men with firearms
  (arquebuses and the heavier muskets) formed loose groups at the corners,  givi
ng supported fire and softening the enemy for the pikemen's punch. Bayonets  did
 not exist and a firearm took over two minutes to reload. Therefore, when  close
 action threatened, the mued in the harbor, and  finally charged the 750 defendi
ng Spaniards. The hand-to-hand melee swirled  back into the city, where the Span
ish finally broke and surrendered (or ran).  Victorious, Drake's men plundered i
t all. Eventually the Spanish governor   raised 110,000 ducats (a vast fortune) 
as ransom for Drake's departure. Drake  agreed, as he and his supporters preferr
ed money to ownership of a plundered   city.    The Defense of Panama, 1671     
When Don Juan Perez de Guzman, President of Panama, organsketeers retired behind
 the pikemen. Spanish  Tercios were built f well-drilled, professional soldiers,
 ready to instantly  perform the complex drill evolutions that maneuvered the cu
mbersome blocks of  pike and their supporting musketeers. This military system w
as widely copied  in Europe throughout the 16th and 17th Centuries. As firearms 
improved, the  proportion of musketeers gradually increased.       In the West I
ndies the slightly faster-firing flintlock musket was popular  among privateers 
and bucca  Nized the city's  defense against Henry Morgan's buccaneers, his "arm
y" consisted of two  companies of Spanish regular infantry (each about 100 men),
 plus militia  companies of Spaniards, mullattoes, free blacks, mestizos, and za
mboos  (various Spanish-African-Indian racial mixtures) which may have totalled 
800  or more. The pure-blooded Spanish militia was largely mounted, carrying pis
tols  and swords, theoretically capable of a battle-winning charge over the open
  ground north of the city. The remainder seemeanors,   gambling losses, etc. Th
e term 'sailing on account' refers to this complex  process of bookkeeping. This
 approach is also sometimes known as "No Purchase,  No Pay"!       As Captain, b
e careful to distinguish between the entire party's wealth  (displayed in Party 
Status) and your personal wealth (displayed in Personal  Status). Certainly your
 crew knows the difference! During the course of a   voyage, the party's wealth 
is the combined profit of the voyage. It is the  property of all and stronglrved
 as infantry, many with no  weapon better than a crude pike (12' or longer point
ed pole). None of these  had sufficient military drill to move in the dense, for
midable blocks of  pikemen that won battles in Europe. Indeed, few had sufficien
t discipline to  withstand more than one or two volleys of musket fire. Curiousl
y, in battle  the native Spaniards were the first to flee (many of them departed
 before  the battle started) while the free Blacks were among the most stalwart 
 defenders of the city.     y affects crew morale (see below). At the end of  th
e voyage, when you divide up the loot, each man gets his fair share. Only  then 
do you get your share, which appears in your Personal Status money.    Morale   
  The attitude of the crew varies from HAPPY (the best) to PLEASED, UNHAPPY,  an
d ANGRY (the worst). The more money the party has, the happier they are.  The cr
ew attaches little importance to captured ships, goods, and other items.  Their 
eyes are on gold! In addition, the crew is impatient. As th

 THE HIGH SEAS                                  A MERRY CREW "ON ACCOUNT" -     
  Buccaneers and pirates are unique they were a democratic group, governed  by v
oting, in an age of absolute kings and imperious aristocrats. Among  pirates, sp
oils are divided fairly and equally. The months  pass, they want to disband and 
spend their loot, or (if you don't have much  loot) they start thinking about jo
ining some other Captain. The only way to  keep them happy is to keep collecting
 more and more gold. It's difficult to   keep the crew pleased for more than a y
ear, and almost impossible to keep them  pleased for two years or longer.       
When the crew is unhappy or angry, they will start deserting whenever you  visit
 port. If they are angry too long, they mutiny. This means you must fige Captain
 gets extra shares,  but only because he takes larger risks. His crew is said to
 sail "on account"  when they are paid by shares of the loot, instead of by wage
s.    At the Start     Each voyage means a new start for the Captain and crew. y
ou will have one  ship, recently cleaned and outfitted, some initial funds from 
your financial  backers (about 10% of the last voyages' profit), and a core of l
oyal crewmen.       Recruiting Crewmen is done in taverns, and sometimes from ca
ptured ships.  If you ht  to remain Captain.       Note that it is easier to kee
p a small crew happy than a large crew. This  is because with a small crew, each
 man's share is larger, making him a happier  fellow! Also note that converting 
plundered cargo to gold helps keep morale  high, especially if you sell at a tow
n with high prices.    Dividing the Plunder     When the cruise ends and you Div
ide up the Plunder, don't be surprised when  the men disperse to enjoy their wea
lth. Also remember that everything is split  fairly, sneak into town you cannot 
recruit in taverns (recruiting is a very  public activity). Recruiting from capt
ured ships is easiest if the capture is  a pirate, or a ship with a very large c
rew.    'On Account'     Your crew is not paid wages. Instead, at the end of the
 voyage, the party's  profits are split. Each man will get his fair share. Until
 the division of  plunder, the Quartermaster is keeping an 'account' for each ma
n from which are  deducted expenses for his clothing, penalties for crimes and m
isd  Nincluding the ships, cannons and, cargo. As Captain, you retain only  your
 flagship. Therefore, it's advisable to sell everything except your  flagship be
fore dividing the plunder.       A fixed percentage of the party's gains go to t
he officers. Each officer's   share is worth a bit over 2%. Therefore an apprent
ice Captain with two shares  gains 5%, a journeyman with four gains 10%, an adve
nturer with six gains 15%,  and a swashbuckler with eight gains 20%. Note that t
he size of the crew has no  effect on  eye toward retirement. Eventually wounds 
from battle and  the taxing demands of sea voyages affect your health. If your h
ealth is poor,  helpful friends will advise retirement. Heed their advice - if y
ou ignore them  life becomes more and more difficult, until one day you are unab
le to recruit  a new crew for another voyage. In general, your career is limited
 to five to  ten years of active endeavor. However, waiting until you're at deat
h's door is  not a good way to start a happy retirement!      THE MEMOthe Captai
n's share. This is to discourage Captains from leading  their crews into massacr
es! In addition, a flat 10% is returned to the patrons  and sponsors of the voya
ge as their profit. Generally, the Captain's  financiers will make this money av
ailable again as capital for the next  voyage.       Shares to the crew are an e
qual distribution of everything remaining. The  size of each crewman's share aff
ects the Captain's reputation. If the shares  are large, the Captain's prestige 
is enhanced. If the shIRS OF CAPT'N SYDNEY -       Me voyages were always a fine

AINS & GOALS -    An Age of New Beginnings     This is an era of privilege. A ma
n of high rank or title lives under  different laws than the commoners. More imp
ortantly, this is an age of social  mobility. Old families with the wrong religi

inept, they would replace him with another of their number. Often the new  candi
date dueled the old for the Captaincy.       In the crew's mind, the Captain's m
ost important skill was leading them in  battle. For this they wanted bravery an
d ferocity more than they wanted  tactical genius. However, the best Captains, s
uch as Henry Morgan, had both.       Outside of battle, when dealing with govern
ors a    THE GOVERNOR -       Towns with a population greater than six hundred c
itizens have a governor.  His residence is the seat of government, and the cente
r of news and intrigue  for the colony. A governor's attitude toward you begins 
with the "official"  attitude of his nation toward your activities. However, any
 particular favors  you have done for him are remembered, as well as any especia
lly nasty things  you have done to his city (such as plundering it!)       You c
an curry favor with a  gond other officials, the  Captain acted as 'front man' t
o represent the group. Although pirates  professed disdain for the privilege and
 status of the aristocracy, often their  Captains were former military men, merc
hants or aristocrats with a 'lordly  manner'.       Finally a Captain needed a g
ood reputation, with numerous past successes to  his credit. It was his name tha
t brought new recruits aboard. This experience  was doubly valuable since most o
f the really good plans for profitable  expeditions were vernor by capturing pir
ates in waters near his  port and then returning that pirate to him. Conversely,
 a governor is dismayed  if you capture his nation's ships near his town, and is
 especially unhappy if  you've plundered his town.     When a governor is hostil
e to you, he will order any harbor forts to fire  upon your vessels as they sail
 in. In general, if the governor's nation is  hostile toward you the forts usual
ly fire. If the nation is wary, the  governor's personal attitude and the size o

. Although his origins are uncertain, he  probably came to the Antilles in 1655 
as part of the invasion force that   captured Jamaica. He advanced both as a mil
itia officer (on land) and a   privateering leader (at sea). In 1667 he was comm
issioned as Admiral of  Privateers by the English governor at Port Royale. In th
e next few years he  plundered numerous ships and cities, including Puerto Bello
. Then, in 1671,  he took Panama, the ricrce are deciding factors.  The nation m
ay not be wary, but the governor may still remember past  transgressions toward 
his area.       Therefore, consider your actions carefully, especially in the vi
cinity of  rich non-Spanish ports.    Ranks & Titles     The governor of a town 
is responsible for protecting and guarding it from  attack. But all too often, h
e has no money, no naval forces, and pitifully few  land troops. So, he commissi
ons loyal subjects to aid him, giving them  military ranks and authorityhest cit
y in the New World.       Patrons who benefited financially from his Panama expe
dition included Sir  Thomas Modyford (Governor of Jamaica), George Monck (the Du
ke of Albemarle,  Modyford's aging but influential patron at Court), and James S
tewart (Lord  High Admiral, the Duke of York, and incidentally, the brother of C
harles II,  King of England since his restoration in 1660). Despite the Treaty o
f Madrid  (in 1670) where England pledged to stop attacks on Spain, none of thes
e   notables refused the. Naturally, a governor favors men who have proved  thei
r bravery and worth by fighting then enemy, while ignoring those who have  done 
nothing for his cause.       The military ranks a governor bestows are, from low

everywhere, and consulted on  West Indian policy by the King's advisors. In 1674
 King Charles II knighted  him Sir Henry Morgan. He was appointed Lieutenant Gov

        N      After military ranks, a governor might use his influence at Court
 to  promote patents of nobility for valued associates. Naturally, you must  per
form large and significant services to gain such bounty. From lowest to  highest

ter chance of getting to the governor and convincing him to provide the  amnesty
 his nation promises.      THE TAVERN -       The first time you visit a tavern 
openly your reputation will precede you.  Men often approach you, hoping to join
 your crew. Subsequent visits while in  port will not yield additional recruits.
 Men are attracted to heroes, not  drunks!       You can purchase information fr
om travellers who have recently visited  another town. They will know thver you 
attack a nation's ships or towns, that nation becomes ill-  disposed toward you.
 A few attacks may make it wary, while many attacks make  it hostile. Naturally,
 don't expect advancement from a governor of a wary or  hostile nation.       Ho
wever, if your target is at war, the target's wartime opponent will  applaud you
r actions and those governors may reward you. For example, if  England and Spain
 are at war, attacks on the Spanish will make the Spanish  wary or hostile, but 
make the English very hae state of the town's population, economy, and  defenses

rength of the local  merchant community is proportional to the town's economic s
trength and  population. A strong merchant community hasppy.       If nations ar
e allied, attacks on a nation are remembered and disliked by  its ally. For exam
ple, England is allied with Holland but at war with Spain.  If you attack Englis
h towns or ships the Spanish governor will be delighted  and the English angry. 
In addition, England's ally Holland will also be angry.   This is because the Du
tch are concerned about attacks on their ally. However,  if you attack Spanish t
owns and ships, the English governor will be delighted,  but the Dutch won't car
e The D many goods for sale, and plenty  of money to buy yours. It also has high
er prices. Small, poor towns have the  lowest prices, but their merchants are po
or also, with tiny warehouses.       Economic experts find the 16th and 17th Cen
tury Caribbean a most peculiar  place, especially on the Spanish Main. Complex a
nd restrictive trade laws,  combined with peculiar and unnatural population patt
erns, produce unexpected  situations. Most importantly, individual towns often h
ave special markets and  needs, causingutch are still at peace with Spain, and t
hus  unwilling to reward military activities against her.       Although declara
tions of war, peace and alliance are public knowledge, ends   of alliances are n
ot. Of course, when former allies declare war, it's a safe  assumption that the 
alliance is over! Otherwise, to learn the "inside news"   about a nation's polit
ics, visit one of its governors. Even if you sneak into  town, the governor's ma
nsion remains the best source of news.      PIRATE AMNESTY -       When especial
ly high or low prices for certain items. All these  effects are transitory, but 
while some patterns only last days or weeks, others  can last for years.       M
erchants are usually happy to trade with privateers, pirates and smugglers.  Aft
er all, a profit is a profit! Merchants in Spanish towns are an exception.      
SPANISH TRADE RESTRICTIONS -       Towns and cities on the Spanish Main have fou
r levels of economic vitality.  This affects the affairs of their merchants. In 
Spanish towns it is ill a nation offers a pirate amnesty, it is willing to forge
t its former  hostility toward pirates. Each governor of that nation is empowere
d to offer  former pirates a pardon for their activities, although sometimes the
 pardon can  be expensive. When seeking an amnesty, be careful about sailing int
o harbor.  Although the nation may offer an amnesty, a local governor may still 
distrust  you enough to open fire. This is especially likely if your force is la
rge, or you  have made attacks in the vicinity. If you   Negal to  trade with an
yone other than Spanish merchants who sailed from Seville and are  properly accr
edited  by the Spanish government. However, local governors and   merchants ofte
n ignore this tiresome legality, especially if the economy is  suffering. As a r
esult, traders in towns may ignore what the national  government says and instea
d develop their own opinions, based on your deeds in  that area.       Strugglin
g towns are in economic difficulties. They will trade with almost  anyone, regar
dless of lket. I found a few smaller  towns that'd do business, privately, but m
e profits suffered. But at the next  city some papist blueblood, blind 'im, reco
gnized me for English and I rotted  for six months in a foul dungeon, tortured b
y their damnable Inquisition, 'til  me crew rescued me. Betwixt times, the filth
y Dons had taken my ship and cargo,  every last ounce of it. So I had to make my
 own justice. We took a handy  pinnace a' lyin' in the harbor, mounted a few gun
s, and taught those Spaniards   a lesson! aws, excepting only pirates whose repu
tation in that   area is extremely evil. Of course, prices and quantities of goo
ds are usually  quite low.       Surviving towns have either small or depressed 
economies. The Spanish  usually trade with foreigners whose local reputation is 
fairly decent. Prices  and quantities of goods are modest.       Prosperous town
s have large, strong economies. Prosperous Spanish towns  only trade with Captai
ns of high repute. Prices are fairly high and goods are  available in reas      
I've a Dutch friend who maintain the best route to fortune is friendly  trade. H
e buys low, transports it, and sells high. He keeps his crew low and  pays 'em o
ff regularly, bankin' his profits. 'E even claims the towns benefit  from his tr
ade 'n' such. Well, I tell ye, I'd not sail the Main with twenty men  and four c
annon, no siree! But then, I trust to steel 'n' gunpowder, not to  accounts ledg
ers.       Anyway, I've never forgotten that Spanish dungeon, and made 'em pay d
early  for it. I'd keep abonable quantities.       Wealthy towns are at the peak
 of the economic spectrum. These Spanish towns  almost always follow the letter 
of the lay. Prices are high and goods are  plentiful.      THE RISE & FALL OF CO
LONIES -       All other things being equal, colonies slowly prosper and grow, g
aining  economic strength, which attracts population, who in turn hoard wealth, 
which  obliges the government to install troops and forts to protect this wealth
.  Traders and smugglers help this economic growth with threast of the news, mat
ey. A couple Indian attacks or plagues  and they'd be ripe for the pluckin'. Att
ackin' 'em after a pirate raid wasn't  so smart. They'd be cleaned out, but the 
garrison'd be reinforced and smartin'  for action.       The King, God bless 'em
, is right obligen' in havin' convenient wars. Me  Letters of Marque are all pro
per and legal, but I've a 'known fellows who'd get  some clerk for forge up any 
ol' thing. One dunderhead had a Letter a' Marque  alright - a Letter t' kill she
ep! Didn'teir buying, selling and  carriage of goods. But pirates, buccaneers an
d privateers taking ships from  waters near the colony will hurt its economic gr
owth.       Indian attacks will deplete the soldiers guarding the town, but leav
e the  population and economy unaffected.       Pirate raids on a town take what
ever gold the pirates can find. The raid  also damages the economy.       Malari
a and other diseases reduce both the troop garrison and the number of  citizens.
 This tends to slow down or even stop econ stop him none from goin' after the   
Spanish a'course.       Most of me victories left me wi' more plunder in food, t
obacco, sugar and  goods than it did shin' gold. I 'member one cruise where I ch
anced upon  Trinidad, lookin' to sell a bit a' loot. Had a right nice fleet, the
n. We  landed up the coast and marched into town. Some insolent Spaniard said  s
omething that got me back up. Well, quick as a wink we had the garrison locked  
in its own dungeon and the citizens cowering behind their doors. We were  omic g
rowth.       Gold mines cause a one-time upswing in the economy and add large qu
antities  of disposable gold. The gold mine is usually just a short-lived alluvi
al  wash in a nearby stream or river, but it invariably generates a "gold rush" 
 mentality boom town.      THE MEMOIRS OF CAPT'N SYDNEY       God's truth, I sta
rted honestly enough, carryin' good European manufacture  to the Indies. But the
 big, rich towns with nice prices were all Spanish, and  those thieven' Dons jus
t wouldn't let me into mar  N enjoying ourselves in the mansion of the gov'nor, 
who'd disappeared right  sudden. Then a delegation of the leading citizens visit
ed us. They begged us to  rein-in our men. I confess some were gettin' a' tad en
thused in their  plunderin'.       We thought on it. One of the leading merchant
s was part English, so we said  that if they flew the Cross of Saint George, ple
dged themselves to the English  Crown, and appointed that part-English merchant 
their governor, we'd settle  down and respect their property,ed in home waters. 
Colonial governors  got  little or no military forces. Most colonies relied on a
 local militia  for their defense. Not until the 1680s did a nation base a regul
ar squadron of  warships in the Caribbean for use year-round.       Because nati
ons had little or no fleet, in wartime the crown 'commissioned'  private ships t
o become its navy. These "freelance" warriors were not paid  wages. Instead, the
y kept a large percentage of whatever they captured. The  official authorization
 for this was legal as you please.       Shortly after that I took a wound in a 
battle off Margarita, curse it, and  was laid up for a while. I never did find o
ut how long Trinidad remained  "English". Pe'haps not so long. But I ne'er heard
 of me friends having trouble  there again. I'd like to emphasize, though, that 
we had a powerful lot of men,   and the populace 'twas right small. With us fewe
r, or them more, it'd a' never  happened.      HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES -    No Peac
e Beyond the Line     In 1493 and 1494 the o the "Letter of Marque". Ships opera
ting  with a Letter of Marque were "privateers". The English fleet that defeated
 the  Spanish invasion Armada (in 1588) was almost completely composed of privat
eers.       In an age of poverty and limited wealth, privateering was one of the
 few  ways to make a quick fortune. Those men who sailed with Francis Drake on h
is  1572-73 privateering voyage to Nombre de Dios (where he captured the Silver 
 Train) returned rich for life. A crewman's share from the capture of just only 
two European powers exploring the world (Spain and  Portugal) agreed to a "fair"
 division of responsibility along a north-south  line 270 leagues west of the ca
pe Verde Islands. In the Treaty of Tordesillas,   Portugal gained authority over
 the eastern Atlantic, the African coast, and  what became the African route to 
India. Spain gained authority of the western  Atlantic and the entire New World 
except the tip of the Brazilian coast.  Supported by a Papall Bull, Spain claime
d this gave her sole possessne  merchantman was often more than a sailor's yearl
y wage in peacetime. A  privateer Captain known for skill and success had little
 trouble recruiting.       Beyond the benefits to the crew, privateering was big
 business. Wealthy  merchants and noblemen put up the money for a voyage, and ea
rned a percentage  of the "take" in return. The gains were also split with the c
rown (the "price"  of a Letter of Marque). The sale of prizes and captured goods
 was a godsend  to merchants, who resold it for a profit. Thion and  control ove
r the Americas. Unfortunately for Spain, the English, Dutch and  French governme
nts never recognized the legality of this line.       The result was that Englis
h, French and Dutch traders and colonists  constantly "invaded" Spanish regions 
where their presence was illegal by  Spanish law. However, Spain never installed
 sufficient military strength in the  region to consistently enforce her laws. S
o, even when European nations were at  peace, the constant smuggling and coloniz
ation could is created a prosperous colonial  economy. In the 1660s and 1670s th
e prime industry of Jamaica was neither  sugar nor tobacco, but piracy!    The B
uccaneers     These men were a special breed who appeared in the West Indies dur
ing the  1630s and 1640s, and remained a feature there throughout the century. M
ost  buccaneers were fugitives from English and French colonial ventures. Many  
colonists came to the Americas expecting to find a paradise full of easy  wealth
. Instead they were indentured servants on cause small battles at any  time. Wor
se, each time European nations went to war, an orgy of privateering  and piracy 
exploded across the West Indies.    Privateers     In the 16th and 17th Centurie
s royal governments were desperately short on  funds (useful taxation techniques
, such as universal income tax, had not been  invented). Building warships, much
 less maintaining and crewing them, was so  expensive that even powerful battles
hips doubled as cargo carriers in  peacetime. What few did exist were need  Nhar
sh tobacco and sugar  plantations. Some were violent criminals sentenced to "tra

 truly pirate and roamed the seven seas, looking  for rich ships with weak defen
ses. But it was increasingly difficult to find  men willing to finance new ventu
res, while naval warships gradually chased  down and destroyed the existing pira
tes. By the 1700s pirates were disappearing  from the Caribbean, by the 1710s th
e North American and West African coasts  were too hot for them, and by the 1720

ills to survive outside of an organized  colony. The first was seaman ship. They
 were experts at building small canoes  or pinnaces, and quite skilled at sailin

to available cargo space, after deduction for food,  water, crewmen, and other c
ommon materials and stores. This should not be  confused witttle.   In fact, the
 name "buccaneer" is derived from their method of curing meat over  an open fire
.       In didn't take long before buccaneers combined their skills of seamanshi
p  and marksmanship, taking to the seas in search of treasure and wealth. The   
Spanish colonies, militarily weak and economically failing, were easy targets  f
or buccaneer attacks. The old tradition of "No Peach Beyond The Line" lent  quas
i-legality to their activities, while their use of non-spanish ports as  trading
 bases helpeh tonnage that describes the entire weight-carrying capacity of the 
 ship when completely unloaded.       Speeds are given in leagues (about 2.5 mil

in light wind, the second is  best speed in strong wind.       Best Point of Sai
ling refers to the wind direction in which the ship makes  its best speed. Each 
type of ship has a different point of sailing.

 principle that the   best defense against Spanish aggression was a good offense
, especially an  offense by troops who provided their own pay, and profit to the
 colony as well!       The buccaneers had a free-wheeling, democratic spirit. Th

large cargos and sometimes a bit of wealth. Privateers and pirates always  look 
forward to capturing a "juicy" merchantman. However, some merchantmen  have been

any other  ship in light winds. Close-Hauled it sails very fast, and under oars 
it can  move directly into the wind. Most importantly, sloops have a shallow dra
ft,  allowing them to sail over shoals with no risk. The main weakness of a sloo
p  is that in strong winds it is considerable saneuverable galleon of the Spanis
h type. As you approach the Spanish Main,  your big decision must be peaceful tr
ade, or warlike raids       Peaceful trade means you can use the smaller Spanish
 ports to reprovision  and perhaps even recruit additional crew. However, it als
o means that the rich  larger ports are closed to you. Unfortunately, the profit
s from peaceful trade  are modest, especially so given your large crew and the s
lowness of your   flagship.       Warlike raids offer a better prospect for ilow
er than a large square-rigged  ship. Thenonly advantage is its maneuverability a
nd its superior speed  close-hauled or into the wind.       Despite its modest s
ize and cargo capacity, a sloop's maneuverability is so  great that many buccane
ers prefer it to larger, more powerful craft. Indeed, in  recent years the Engli
sh Royal Navy has built a number of sloops for its own   use as pirate-catchers.

at gunpoint in a few ports, and was chased t is  even faster than a sloop, and m
uch faster when rowing into the wind.       However, a pinnace is also much smal
ler than a sloop, with minuscule   capacity for cargo and guns. Still, many a pi

in Matanzas Bay on the Cuban coast. Heyn  pursued them ran his ships onto the sh

there mustered a powerful militia, but after a difficult  fight in marshy ground

L'Ollonais mounted a new expedition to thgside the Spanish, traded   broadsides 
and boarded. The battered and demoralized Spanish either surrendered  or fled as

error and prestige of his name was enough to collect a fleet of  small boats, cr
owded with men, bound for Maracaibo. he surprised the forts and  took the city b
y storm. Despite a bloody plundering that lasted a fortnight,  the town yielded 
only modest  Nough both places yielded little  wealth and plenty of hot fighting
 with aroused Spanish defenders.       On August 24, 1670, Morgan sailed as Admi
ral of Privateers under the  auspices of Governor Modyford of Jamaica. He rendez
voused with French  buccaneers from Tortuga and western Hispaniola, swelling his
 forces to 2,000  men or more, making him strong enough for any venture. His goa
l was Panama,  richest city of the Spanish overseas empire. Sailing upriver and 
then marching  overland, he arrived outside thmmand of Jean Bernard Louis Desjea
ns, who had sailed with the  French privateering fleets of the 1680s.       The 
French expedition arrived off Cartagena in April and began reducing the  Spanish
 defenses. Outlying forts were seized, often with the buccaneers in the  vanguar
d, while the fleet moved up behind in support. Isolated and demoralized,  the Sp
anish fell back on the city. The French deployed and opened fire with  powerful 
24-pounder and 36-pounder siege mortars, demolishing the city's  fortificatione 
city in January, 1671. Here the governor of  the province, Don Juan Perez de Guz
man, had collected his troops and militia.       On the plains outside the city 
the two forces fought a pitched battle. The   Spanish lost. The city was taken, 
plundered, and ultimately burned to the  ground. However, the loot was disappoin
ting. Many of the richest Spaniards had  fled with their families and wealth, ra
ther than staying around to defend it.       The sack of Panama was Morgan's cro
wning achievement. He wisely rs. On May 6, 1697, governor Don Diego de los Rios 
y Quesada  surrendered Cartagena. Baron de Pointis carried off all the available
 wealth,  paying the buccaneers at the same rate as his own men (which was a pit
tance  compared to a privateer-style division of plunder). Worried about a power
ful  English squadron known to be hunting him, de Pontis sailed for home with a 
  treasur worth 20 million Livres in his hold.       The buccaneers, upset and a
ngry with their tiny share, returned to the  still prostrate cetired  while stil

the affair, Morgan received a knighthood. He retired on Jamaica an  honored and 
wealthy man. He died of too much drink in 1688, at age 53.      BARON DE PONTIS

sailors and thieves. To the majority they were a source of tales, or warnings  f
or children ("Be nice or Black Bart the highway man will eat you for dinner!")

became an unmanageable problem, straining Europe's charitable  institutions and

to exceed  the amount of available farmland. Trade and manufacture had developed

The empire is built on mountains of silver bullion from New Spain  (Mexico) and 
Peru. This bullion finances Spain's imperial glory, but also  encourages misguid
ed economic policies that will soon ruin the country.       The secondary export
 from the Indies is hides of uncured leather. Spanish  colonial grandees prefer 
ranching large herds thioned after the Swedish, and the English Civil War,  whic
h raged separately on that tormented isle, was won by Cromwell's "New  Model Arm
y" formed on the same principles. As the 17th Century approached  its midpoint, 
the age of the mercenary and pirate was waning in Europe. Within  a few decades 
this new national power and organization would extend into the  Caribbean, drivi
ng out the buccaneers and pirates.       The rise of national governments brough
t new taxes, oppressive new central  administrations, o managing farms and  plan
tations. Ranches are equivalent to the property noblemen own in old Spain.      
 Holland, a province of this far-flung empire, begins its revolt against  Spanis
h rule into the 1560s. England, ruled by Elizabeth I (1558-1603) develops  an an
ti-Spanish policy as well. France had been and will remain consistently  anti-Sp

A series of revolutions in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France,  and near-revolut
ionary constitutional conflicts elsewhere showed how the  lower classes and loca
l nobles resisted the new order. But the powerful  national governments emerged 
victorious. No longer would the state tolerate  independent agents using the tec
hniques of war. Armies were firmly under royal  control, disciplined and supplie
d from depots. Navies were directed to  !N!!!!!!!!!Italy as well).       Spain i
n this era is the only European nation with large, populous colonies  in the New
 World. With the exception of one abortive venture at St. Augustine,  the other 
European powers have nothing more than temporary anchorages and tent  towns, cas

 additional French and English privateering bases exist in the  Florida Keys and

ty one. Diseases brought by Europeans   to the New World have inflicted a centur

 without  harbor forts and served by a laughably small garrison, can do little b
ut take  lucrative bribes and look the other way.    English Colonies     Early 
colonies exist on St. Lucia and Grenada, although both areon in 1600.  Food supp

Spaniards are productive members of society - they expect to live  a grandiose l

colonial ventures in the East Indies (notably Indonesia).  The Dutch spend most 
of their time trading in smuggled goods with the smaller  Spanish colonies. Trin

-       Difficulties in this era are similar to the 1560 period. Furthermore, Eu
rope  is tending toward peach, dimming the prospect for privateering profits. Wi

years truce, Dutch commercial interests are   exploding world-wide. However, at 
this time the big Dutch companies are mainly  interested in Indonesia and Asia, 
leaving the West Indies to smaller operators.      CITIES & TRADE -    Spanish C

the trans-Atlantic trade will pay good prices  for tobacco. The colony on Nevis

      INTRODUCTION -       In Holland, Germany and France the last great religio

not uncommonly with everybody! Since Spanish military power is  a joke, the oppo

h renewed output form the silver mines,   starts an upswing in the Spanish-Ameri
can economy.       England, France and Holland are now strong colonial powers. J
ealous of  Holland's commercial success, England begins economic war against Hol
land  with the Navigation Act (1651) and the Staple Act (1663), legislating trad
