Story Interface

Story View

Welcome to the "Story" module in Pirates and Traders. Stories in this game are essentially mini text adventures games. The Story module is used for a lot of different purposes - from trade missions, mutinies on your ship, treasure hunts, etc.

The Story interface will provide you with (hopefully) interesting situations and give you a number of options to solve it. Each option will usually have different advantages or disadvantages. Many options will test your skills. In most cases, the used skill should be obvious. In general, you should always try to select a skill that you are strong in, and avoid options that are likely to tests skills in which you are weak.

Some Stories will require you to enter a specific location in the game or search a specified region before a certain date. In these cases, the story view will close and a descriptive text will be noted in your list of tasks in the status view.

When bargaining, it is worthwhile to keep in mind that the higher the price you are trying to negotiate up from, the harder the skill check will be.
