Line 48:
* Hello. [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|My name is Ignacio Verdugo]]. [[You Killed My Father]]. [[Prepare to Die]]. If you play as {{spoiler|1=[[Big Bad|Sebastian LaRoche]]}} in Story Mode in ''Tradewinds 2'', be prepared to hear this several times throughout the course of your game.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] / [[Ho Yay]]: In ''Odyssey'' Petrakles and Ganymede are this.
* [[Hundred -Percent Completion]]: ''Tradewinds: Odyssey'' introduces Feats which are achievements by another name.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: In ''Odyssey'' in the storyline for Phil the Cynic, he acts as this for his cousin Herakles.
* [[Immortality Hurts]]: One of the two connected storylines in Daimones the Goddess' Story Mode
* [[ItsIt's Up to You]]: The tasks given by the head of authority in most ports, ranging from grocery shopping to slaying the [[Big Bad]].
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: Flying Dragon ''boats'' in ''Legends.''
* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: The merchant Baobab in ''Legends'' has a inexplicable French accent.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: The Fire Pot special ammunition in ''Tradewinds 2''.
* [[Long -Lost Relative]]: The Tazere brothers in ''Tradewinds Legends'' ... twice. {{spoiler|Hasan Tazere's plunge into the high seas and skies started when his brother, Omar, went missing. The first time this trope occurs is when Hasan encounters a Djinn-possessed Omar at sea. Hasan must eventually kill the King of the Djinn, but at the same time put his brother to the sword. Hasan believes that Omar died from the two stabs, but when he visits a temple later on, he meets his brother again, alive and well. Omar promptly forms a [[Sibling Team]] with Hasan for the rest of Story Mode and beyond.}}
* [[Magikarp Power]]: The ''Tradewinds Odyssey'' characters' special attacks are based on total damage dealt, and the DPS rates get ''huge'' later in the game as you get [[More Dakka]].
* [[No One Should Survive That]]: Sindbad. His habit for surviving through sheer chance what should and does kill everyone he's with on a constant basis is so amazing that it's strongly suggested that the murderous djinn who pursues him, Ivory, is actually a force of nature who has come to ensure he finally dies the death he is due.
* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: On one route in ''Caravans'', you play a {{spoiler|supposed}} widow. At the end of the game, she mentions the possibility of remarriage...to her husband's brother. ([[Truth in Television]]; this was virtually expected in the cultures of the age.)
* [[One -Man Army|One Ship Army]]: Well, since you can't have more than one ship in ''Tradewinds 2'' ... it is even lampshaded by one of the governors in the game.
{{quote| ''"I am not fit to bow in your shadow, commander. Defeating {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|LaRoche]]}} - [[What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome|with a single ship!]]"''}}
* [[The Paralyzer]]: The Hive of Bees "Magic Curse" in ''Tradewinds Legends'' does this in battle, rendering a single target unable to return fire for ten seconds. Considering that most enemies have at least five cannons, and each one fires every four seconds, the Hive of Bees can actually come in handy in cutting down the damage taken by your fleet. It saved this troper's character twice during the course of the game.
Line 66:
* [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: The backdrop to ''Tradewinds 2''.
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: Your ships are given the option to ram enemy ships in ''Tradewinds Odyssey''.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Many, "Mik the Jagged" of the "Rho Ling Stonemen" being just one of them.
** Probably unintentional, but a certain pirate in ''Tradewinds 2'' is called [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrique_Iglesias:Enrique Iglesias|Enrique Iglesias]].
** Daimones' Story Mode, in ''Odyssey'', has this gem: "[[Three Hundred300|Tonight we dine IN TARTARUS!]]"
** An achievement in ''Odyssey'' is called [[Memetic Mutation/Anime|"It's Over Nine Thousand"]]
* [[So Beautiful ItsIt's a Curse]]: One of the side quests in ''Odyssey.''
** In Phoebe the Priestess' story, it's a girdle of the Goddess that poses a lot of problems for her when she has it.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The original game was a ''[[Taipan]]'' clone. Since then, the series has branched out and evolved, however.
