	@q.briefing
You are going to join the Knights Hospitaller and begin a career of navy officer. You can learn much from them, for they are waging an endless war against the Barbary pirates. Prior to leaving the port, you were advised to sail straight to the Hospitaller haven, for the waters are dark and full of pirates.
	@r.briefing
Raise the anchor!
	@o.global
In order to win, capture the algerian town center to the southeast. You will lose if you run out of ships.
	@o.go.knights
Head to the Hospitaller fortress (black) at the center of the map
	@q.blockade.gone
Damn it, sir. You were of great help driving these bastards off our shores. You have my gratitude. Talented folks are not something you encounter often, and they deserve to be rewarded. I'll write to Paris at once, and rest assured you will be mentioned in my letter. They will certainly appreciate our efforts in fighting against piracy.
	@r.blockade.gone
You are right, we're good!
	@q.knights.contact
Captain, the Knights' towers are on the horizon. We're going to anchor at their port soon.
	@r.knights.contact
Good. I need to change my dress
	@q.knights.bay
Captain, the harbor is quite empty lately. All the Knights are prowling the seas looking for plunder. They used to only hunt pirates before, but now they attack the heathens indiscriminately. Frankly speaking, they have sort of turned into pirates themselves, except Christian ones.
	@r.knights.bay
No matter. They are good sailors, and that's what I need.
	@q.knights.quest
The Knights welcomed you as a dear guest. Your letters of recommendation have impressed them, and you were accepted into the Order. After all the formalities you were given your first assignment, to patrol the sea. You are to follow another, more experienced captain in command of a galley. Have some good hunting together.
	@r.knights.quest
Somebody will be in trouble today!
	@o.follow.knight
Follow the Hospitaller galley (black) during a patrol mission
	@q.knight.defeat
The galley you were to follow was captured by the pirates in full sight of the shore. People saw you abandoning your brethren to certain death. The news of your cowardice will spread far and wide across the Mediterranean. Your career is over!
	@q.go.spain
I swear by my honor, good sire, a fine battle it was. Together we send these bastards to their ancestors. Too bad we couldn't capture anyone, we could always use new rowers. Worse yet, my galley is damaged. I need to return to the port for repairs. Please, do me a favor - take this letter. I was supposed to deliver it to the Spaniards, now I ask you to do that. My helmsman will show you the way.
	@r.go.spain
It's an honor, good sir!
	@o.go.spain
Deliver the letter to the Spaniards (violet).
	@q.spain.quest
You have anchored at the spanish port. The governor welcomes you, grateful for the delivery. It appears the news in your missive were of great importance. He had a plenty of questions about your recent battle, expressing regret that you are not serving the King of Spain in West India, for the pirates in the Caribbean are on the loose. Later on, he introduced you to a certain merchant.
	@r.spain.quest
A merchant?
	@q.trader.quest
Signor knight! The governor praises you, telling of your victories over the bandits over and over again. Could you perhaps escort my convoy? I am heading to a venetian port, but the waters in these parts are highly unsafe, as signor witnessed himself. Naturally, a dangerous job always pays well.
	@r.trader.quest
Very well. I'll ensure your safety.
	@o.trader.quest
Deliver the convoy to venetian (blue) port to the north.
	@q.trader.pirated
Good Lord and his angels! The pirates! Sound the alarm!
	@r.trader.pirated
All hands on deck!
	@q.trader.dead
You have failed in your task, the merchant and all his goods rest at the bottom of the sea. You have to deliver the dire news to venetian authorities. Continue on your way.
	@r.trader.dead
Damn it!
	@o.trader.dead
Inform the venetian authorities (blue) at the north of the merchant's demise.
	@o.venice.defense
Repel the algerian (green) attack on venetian (blue) fortress. Do not let them capture the academy.
	@q.venice.trader.dead
Signor, these tidings are tragic indeed. I do not hold you responsible, though. How could that fool entrust command to a captain so green? No offense, but you have much to learn yet. These bloody pirates are running rampant. Fancy a chance to avenge the berber insult? I was informed they are planning an attack on our lands, and gathered forces to repel it. Join my fleet and help my commander fight the heathens off. You can transfer your troops to the governor.
	@r.venice.trader.dead
Good sir, I'll command to raise the anchor at once!
	@q.siege.pirates
Here's the savior of our fortress! Allow me to shake your heroic hand! It's an honor to meet such a great warrior as you. How may I repay signor, though? I have an idea! You wanted to punish the heathens? I can join your campaign. I have gathered forces to protect our lands, but since the menace is gone now, we can use them in a punitive expedition instead. Take command and punish the goddamn pirates.
	@r.siege.pirates
They'll mourn the day they were born!
	@q.trader.safe
Oh, signor, we did it! We've made it safely through the pirate claws! Thank you! I'll arrange for your reward at once. And I will tell the authorities of the republic of your bravery. Maybe some day, when your studies with the knights are done, you would consider serving in the glorious venetian fleet. I am sure you would be welcome there.
	@r.trader.safe
Thank you, monsieur, but my banners are those with the lilies.
	@q.venice.trader.safe
Greetings, signor. You seem to be a talented sailor indeed. I hope you are not too tired for another round of fighting. My spies have informed me the Berbers are planning an attack on our lands, and I gathered troops and ships to repel it. Please, help my fleet commander fight the heathens off. You can transfer your troops to the governor.
	@r.venice.trader.safe
Always glad to deliver another good beating to the pirates!
	@q.wall.breached
Damn it! A berber cannonball hit the gunpowder store! Send troops to the wall breach at once!
	@r.wall.breached
Curses!
	@q.defense
Signor, I am overjoyed to see the reinforcements! God answered my prayers! It's too bad I know nothing about warfare. Please, good sir, position the ships as you see fit. And unload the troops on the shore promptly, the city needs more defenders.
	@r.defense
Worry not, my friend.
	@q.pirates.arrived
Take care! Pirates have landed at the south and threaten the city from the land. The governor is nowhere to find, no one knows what to do. You start giving orders to prevent panic, and soon enough find yourself in charge of the defense. Show your mettle!
	@r.pirates.arrived
Summon the officers!
	@q.pirates.defeated.land
Hear that? The shooting is dying down. We have repelled the assault! There is no more threat from the land. We're safe, signor! We did it!
	@r.pirates.defeated.land
A fine battle it was!
	@q.pirates.defeated.sea
Good sir, we have defeated the pirate fleet! The bastards are feeding the fishes now! I swear on my honor, they didn't expect our fleet here. See these xebecs? We have boarded and taken them. Should we equip and man these vessels, good sir?
	@r.pirates.defeated.sea
But of course!
	@o.scout.pirate.base
Reconnoiter the area around the pirate base at the southeast
	@q.venice.defended
When the dust of battle has settled, you have found the governor. Scared senseless, the man has hid himself, leaving the town without command. Now he begs you for mercy. What will you do with the cowardly official?
	@r.arrest
Arrest the coward and put him on trial
	@r.forgive
It happens. Forgive the rascal.
	@q.scouting
A thousand hells! There were so many of them! The monsters at sea will have a feast of a lifetime today. And by the way, if the pirates are sailing the deeps now, their lair remains undefended, no? How about paying them a return visit? Damn it to hell, what a splendid idea. But first we should make way around the pirate base at the south and reconnoiter their fortifications. Do not enter the bay yet, lest you scare the brigands off.
	@r.scouting
My thoughts exactly
	@q.gov.arrested
Signor, you have saved our city! I am at loss! A true knight, you are! As for that cowardly scum, we will try him for this misdeed. It wasn't the first time he has failed us. Anyway, if I understand you correctly, you plan a punitive expedition. You have my complete approval. Since the menace to our city is gone now, you have my permission to take our troops. We will split our booty honestly.
	@r.gov.arrested
Of course.
	@q.gov.pardoned
Thank you, thank you, thank you, noble signor! The Lord will reward your mercy! You plan to punish these filthy cutthroats and raze their lair, right? Take a part of my garrison along! Punish these bandits, slaughter them, cut them into tiny pieces, wipe them out from the surface of Earth!
	@r.gov.pardoned
Thanks, I guess. Try to keep your cool the next time.
	@q.venice.fail
The pirates have captured the city and put it to sword. Whenever you look, you witness horrible atrocities, as the town itself is devoured by fire. There is nothing you can do now, save for boarding your ship and leaving the bay. Vengeful, you are burning with desire to raze the pirate lair. But you can't return to the knights without a solid plan. Make your way around the pirate base at the south and reconnoiter their fortifications. Do not enter the bay yet, lest you scare the brigands off.
	@r.venice.fail
We are leaving!
	@q.scouting.done
Excellent, now we know everything we need about the pirate fortifications. Now it's time to ask the Hospitallers for soldiers. We can design a detailed plan of attack en route.
	@r.scouting.done
You are right. Give the commands
	@o.find.troops
Procure troops for a landing
	@q.captured.ship
Commander, a berber xebec ahead! It seems to be aground. An easy prey, I swear!
	@r.captured.ship
Today is not their day
	@q.captured.ship2
You have boarded the xebec and questioned her captain. He was supposed to escort a merchant waiting for him in the berber port to the west. You have a chance to capture his precious cargo without a fight. In order to do that, take the captured xebec to algerian bay. Make sure to keep the rest of your fleet far enough!
	@r.captured.ship2
Let's try it!
	@q.infiltrated
You gave correct answers to the signals of berber guards, and were permitted to enter the bay. Escort the merchant out, then bring him to any European port.
	@r.infiltrated
Sure I will!
	@q.infiltration.failed
Your fleet was spotted by berber guards. They started firing their cannons and raised an alarm. Now the city is ready to repel an attack, it can only be taken by overwhelming force.
	@r.infiltration.failed
Look at them running all over the place!
	@q.trader.captured
Oh, the guile of giaours! Laugh now, treacherous infidels, you've got a king's ransom. But were Allah to give you more wisdom, you would know you are all doomed. Our brave brothers are masters of this sea, and when you will encounter them, you will die. Giaour guile is no match to the valor of the faithful! I pity you!
	@r.trader.captured
Good sir, you are as arrogant as Narcissus!
	@q.goods.sold
You have successfully deceived the Berbers, stealing rich booty consisting of best oriental wares. Selling these profited you a lot.
	@r.goods.sold
Excellent!
	@q.knights.help
Your plan to attack the pirate base has impressed the Order's leadership. The Knights have provided you with troops to make a landing. Moreover, you have received a letter stating that the French state secretary of the navy desires to join your operation. This way you can teach a lesson to the pirates, while the French gain some invaluable experience. Add french ships to your fleet and give them some taste of battle.
	@r.knights.help
Now we'll hunt the pirates down!
	@q.victory
You have captured and razed the pirate base! It will take them years to repair their wharves, rebuild their vessels and restore their crews. Trade in the Mediterranean is going to be safer now. Of course, there are many other pirate nests in the sea, but the Berbers will remember this beating and learn to respect the french banner. Moreover, the entire Paris is now talking about the heroic exploits of a certain young noble...
	@r.victory
Viva la France!
	@q.defeat
You should have been more prudent, but you tried to bite more than you could chew. The consequences were dire, but at least you have died and avoided capture.
	@r.exit
You can't win all the time. Francois I was one hell of a king, and still got beaten at Pavia. (quit)
	@r.load
A thousand hells! Did you really expect me to back off?! (load game)
