Line 18:
* [[AFGNCAAP]]: Completing Story Mode allows you to do this.
* [[Armor Is Useless]]: Having full hull integrity or more armor doesn't stop your ships from losing cannons.
* [[Arms Dealer]]: You, especially. You buy weapons and you sell them to other ports. And in the majority of the games, weapons and armaments are contraband.
* [[A Load of Bull]]: Asterion the Minotaur, one of the player characters in ''Tradewinds Odyssey''.
* [[Anything That Moves]]: Zeus
* [[Arabian Nights Days]]: The backdrop of ''Legends.''
* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: The story ending for {{spoiler|Asterion}} in ''Odyssey''.
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.
* [[
* [[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
* [[It's Up to You]]: The tasks given by the head of authority in most ports, ranging from grocery shopping to slaying the [[Big Bad]].
Line 62:
{{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.
** Also, Phil the Cynic's [[What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome|argument attack]] in ''Odyssey''.
** Muse's Revenge definitely is this, which can be boosted with one of the relics from the Reliquary.
* [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: The backdrop to ''Tradewinds 2''.
Line 75:
* [[Storming the Castle|Storming the Port]]: If you previously had access to a port and it's now blocked off due to certain circumstances and suddenly the port is hostile towards you, this happens. In ''2'' and ''Legends'', you have to fight a fort and several ships in order to regain access to the port.
** Subverted in ''Odyssey.'' Instead of a port fight, it becomes the usual navy vs navy fight.
* [[
* [[Subsystem Damage]]: With every hit your vessels take, they run the risk of losing a cannon. In addition, when the hull strength of a ship is reduced to around half, as well as a quarter, it looks visually damaged.
* [[Swashbuckler]]: Many characters, Hasan from ''Legends'' being a particularly good example.
Line 84:
* [[Truth in Television|Truth in Video Gaming]]: Once in a while, upon talking to the owner of an alehouse, temple or such, depending on the game, you may get a small piece of [[Real Life]] history.
* [[Unlockable Content]]: In pretty much all the games you have to complete one of the storylines to unlock the custom character mode.
** Additionally in ''Tradeswinds Odyssey'' completing a character storyline unlocks a [[Secret Character]].
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Petrakles the Athlete in ''Tradewinds Odyssey''. [[Lampshaded]] by other characters.
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: Free Trade Mode, also Story Mode once you finish it.
