Quickstart
HOW TO PLAY
=============

You start out in Spain with three ships, a skeleton crew and some gold. Since gold won’t be much good in the new world be sure to stop by the shops in Spain to buy everything you’ll need. What you take with you will determine your success when you arrive so spend carefully. Then board your ship and begin the long journey to the new world. But don’t expect a warm welcome when you arrive.

COMMON TASKS
============
Landing: To leave your ship, approach land and bump into it. A menu will popup, allowing you to transfer equipment from your ship to the expedition.

Ship Storage: You can return to the ship to transfer equipment from and to the expedition, as well as if you want to board it again.

Food Supply: Food will drop steadly every day, you can get food by buying it on Spain or obtain it from dead enemy expeditions.

Dead Reckoning: If your expedition doesn't have a maritime chronometer, the only way to calculate your longitude is through an approximate calculus based on your ship speed. To reset this accumulative calculus, press 'r'


Set sail for adventure in a new world!
