Landing parties

Exploring

At a ruin, a cache or a mine, «Land» sends a party ashore; it comes back with the haul.

  1. Near a feature of an island the action bar offers «Land» (key L). The party is 30 % of the crew, 3 to 12 men; the boats reach 30 m from the shore — if a beach is close, the helmsman sails in first.
