Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas Special Game Cheats

Cutthroats: Terror on the High Seas Special Game Cheats

Build a large crew:
Port at any seaward town and give the crew orders to take
prisoners before returning to the ship. Once they have come
back, send them out again. (The prisoners will be pressed
into service and added amongst the ranks of the sailors.)
Repeat as often as necessary.

PLEASE REMEMBER BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING IN YOUR GAME DIRECTORY,
TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY AND SAVE IT ELSEWHERE, JUST IN CASE.

Here goes: Find a .txt file named, "PlayConsum.txt" in:

C:\Games\Cutthroats\Data\Econ

This tiny file tells the game how much food needs to be
available before your sailors start to complain, die, and
finally vote you out:

Sup Weight(lbs) Per person
Food 3
Fruit 1
Pork 1
Rum 1

Simply edit it so that ALL the values read "0", then
save as "PlayConsum.txt":

Sup Weight(lbs) Per person
Food 0
Fruit 0
Pork 0
Rum 0

With this file in place, you can cruise forever so long as
you have AT LEAST 1 ton of each of these supplies on your
ships. Your men will never complain about eating
"ship's biscuits and salt beef" again, and never vote you out.

(DS1-None of this comes without a hitch though. There is a
glitch where "Food" and "Rum" are never depleted,
but "Fruit" and "Livestock" are. Never fear, because I
still never got any complaints about the men's eating habits.
Just to be safe though, whenever I noticed that we'd run out
of an item, I'd simply buy a couple of tons, just to have
them on hand.)
