Tradewinds is a series of video games released by Sandlot Games. The original version, simply called Tradewinds (now called Tradewinds Classic), has since spawned a number of sequels.The basic premise of the first game is this: you start off in one of the ports in The Orient, with very little cash (or a huge debt, in some cases) and one ship. Your ship can be equipped with guns and loaded with cargo. You purchase the cargo from trading centers at ports. Ideally, your cargo should be bought low and sold high in order to make a profit.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })While travelling between ports, you may get attacked by pirates. Both sides take turns to fire their cannons at each other; the side that destroys the ships on the other side wins the battle, as well as some cash.As you progress through the game, you can buy additional ships and form a fleet. Each ship will increase the amount of cargo you can carry between ports, as well as your offensive firepower.Your only goal is to reach the rank of Tai Pan. To do this, you must get a million points from either trading goods, battling pirates, accepting tasks from the head of authority of each port, or all three at once.Tradewinds has spawned several sequels: Tradewinds 2, Tradewinds Legends (and its expansion pack, Tradewinds Legends: Unlikely Heroes), Tradewinds Caravans and Tradewinds Odyssey.The original Tradewinds was considered a turn-based strategy game due to the way all battles are conducted, with each side taking turns to fire at each other. Every sequel since conducts all battles in real-time. Tradewinds 2, Legends, Odyssey and Caravans all have Story Mode.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Crapsack World: The world is rampant with piracy and/or banditry, you can be cursed/be troubled without knowing the reason why, may get some divine being's wrath for something which is not your fault (Odyssey), get Disproportionate Retribution if you are guilty for minor offense, become friend/subordinate/in employ of some trouble magnet dude/lass .... You get the idea. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: In Classic, one of the locations you can unlock is the floating city of Shangri-La. Shangri-La first appeared in 1933 in Lost Horizon. In Odyssey - Asterion, you can get both quests of warning Trojans about Theseus's plan to kidnap Helen and getting Odysseus to Ithaca (in this case Delphi). The former is definitely before Trojan War is over, the latter is after. The game also depicts both Helen and Paris as early-teenage kids. All over the place in Legends; One sidequest heavily references 1984, a couple others reference television in passing, and one involving dating genies names a place called "LavaLampLife" which sounds a lot like a website, meaning the internet is apparently a thing. | |

| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_2c7dc9c6 | comment |
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. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: One of the sidequests of the "Unlikely Heroes" expansion is incomplete.note The one where you're trying to test suitors for a future Sultana. Attempting to claim the reward for it crashes the game, and trying to continue the game after accepting that quest but without attempting to complete it will eventually corrupt the save. | |

Death Faked for You | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_369a1bf6 | comment |
Death Faked for You: Odyssey - Phil, the purpose of his main quest is faking Socrates' execution because of his unorthodox thinking of the divine. Odyssey - Asterion, he discovers in one of his main quest that turn out Icarus didn't die after his wings melted and fell to sea. Instead, Icarus was saved by the harpies and lives peacefully with them. He faked his death because his father would definitely make him as lab rat until he dies like the rest of his father's sons. | |

So Beautiful, It'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. In Caravans, Yu Qian the male monk has just about every girl on the Silk Road lusting after him when he's just trying to obey his Vow of Celibacy. He doesn't take it well. | |

Doom Magnet | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_3c7d0418 | comment |
Doom Magnet: Sindbad in Tiger Bai's storyline. Despite very clearly knowing this, Bai is very good friends with him and is always willing to have him on her ship, no matter what misfortune may follow. This is also referenced in a few other character storylines: at one point one of the kings even shows that threatening to make someone be cabin boy on a Sindbad voyage is a very effective means of punishment. Odyssey, Odysseus is storm-magnet as PC's fleet always intact but blown off course whenever Odysseus is on board. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: In the overarching story of the "Custom Character" in Legends, you're once told to bring a secret clan leader (of a clan you are a part of, albeit a junior member) to a city leader or be beheaded. When you find the clan leader, he's so beaten down by running for his life that your character can't bring themselves to take him in. When they return to the city leader, the leader praises you for not going through with it. | |

Long-Lost Relative | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_455f6a91 | comment |
Long-Lost Relative: The Tazere brothers in Tradewinds Legends ... twice. 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. Legends, it turns out Tiger Bai and Ivory are sisters. Ivory is half-djinn and half-human. Because Ivory's human half is kidnapped when she was small, both of them only realized late in Ivory's storyline. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: In Odyssey, this is why Zeus is trying to kill Socrates: because gods are shaped by the beliefs of mortals. If Socrates' view of the gods as perfect, moral beings were to catch on, Zeus would be locked into that myth - something he finds a thoroughly unappealing prospect. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: The Magical Charm in Legends; it guarantees a 100% success rate in smuggling in contraband goods, but is the most expensive item in the game at 100 million gold. Making that much money either involves a lot of patience with normal goods (usually well past when you could complete Story Mode), or smuggling contraband using a lot of lesser items like the False Bottom Crate (the effects stack) and Save Scumming. Either way, if you can make enough money to buy the charm, you probably don't need it. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Having full hull integrity or more armor doesn't stop your ships from losing cannons. Possibly justified when you consider the cannons would have to be exposed to be of any use, making them vulnerable to lucky shots. Only Phoebe in Odyssey is depicted to wear armor, every other player character in franchise doesn't. Yet they can still kicks ass all the same. Justified, since there's rarely, if ever, any hand-to-hand combat; all of the battles are between ships. | |

Permanently Missable Content: Once you finish the final quest of the main storyline, you enter free trade mode and can't take on any more quests(though you can still complete quests that you took but hadn't yet completed). If there were any quests that rewarded exclusive loot that you didn't take before this point, tough luck. Tradewinds Legends: Unlikely Heroes was a Yahoo-exclusive DLC that unlocked the ability to play as the Ifrit that had been terrorizing Sinbad. Now that the game is unavailable on Yahoo, so is the DLC. | |

Only the Chosen May Wield: Caravan - Sameer, Sameer is asked to find a worthy heir for desperate town ruler. The selection process is by pulling the string of the ruler's family heirloom bow. It becomes a funny moment as everyone and their dog (Not Hyperbole there) can do that. The ruler climbs out of his own tomb and tries to find the worthy heir by interview instead. Legends - In one of sidequests the PC must find a magic sword. The description of the sword is "Only the pure-hearted may wield this sword. | |

Noble Bigot: Yu Qian from Caravans isn't a bad guy, but he's rather gynophobic. Normally, this is actually merited - he has taken a Vow of Celibacy and the vast majority of the women he meets are trying to get in his robes - but he gets deservedly slapped by the plot a couple of times when he acts nastily to women who haven't said anything and in fact aren't after him. | |

The Unfavorite: In Odyssey between Ariadne and Asterion, Asterion is the definite unfavorite of King Minos. Also In Odyssey, rotund King Eurystheus is compared to his more physically impressive yet dumb Hercules by his parents. The fact which made him a jerk, and in turn the tasks he gives Hercules as hard as possible. | |

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 has saved many players. Also, Phil the Cynic's argument attack in Odyssey. Muse's Revenge in Odyssey definitely is this, which can be boosted with one of the relics from the Reliquary. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
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 Enrique Iglesias. Daimones' Story Mode, in Odyssey, has this gem: "Tonight we dine IN TARTARUS!" An achievement in Odyssey is called "It's Over Nine Thousand" Legends has many references to to The Thousand and One Nights, some of which are very obvious and others of which aren't overly called attention to. The most prominent example is Sinbad the Sailor, who is a character in Tiger Bai's storyline. In fact, when Tiger first runs into him in the midst of the second of his famous voyages. Legend - Ivory, one of Ivory's quest is named "Keeping Up with Akbars", a fetch quest spiced with sitcom dynamics of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of local ruler. | |

| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_c960826 | comment |
Supporting Protagonist: In Yu Qian's quest in Caravans, he's ostensibly a monk on the quest to get a book of holy sutras back to Chang'an, and Su Min is a monk from a more martial order assigned to support and guard him, as well as (seemingly) a test of his Vow of Celibacy. Actually, remaining polite to the misogynistic Yu Qian is Su Min's final test on the road to Nirvana, and her death in the Final Battle and subsequent return to battle Mara is the culmination of her story. Of course, discovering this fact is still a priceless lesson for Yu Qian's own Character Development. | |

Fake Ultimate Hero: Theseus. To elaborate, he boasted of 1) killing the Minotaur and 2) getting out of Labyrinth on his own. Both are lies as you play as still-living-Asterion (The Minotaur) and he gets help from Ariadne and her thread. He is a complete Jerkass and pervert to boot. | |

| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_e68d9ddd | comment |
Not Blood Siblings: On one route in Caravans, you play a 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). Said brother had actually been love with her several years and aids you greatly throughout her storyline. He was, in fact, the one who inquired about her when he saw her at a marketplace, and was heartbroken when you were betrothed to his elder brother instead. | |

Battle Aura | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_e6eafde0 | comment |
Battle Aura: There are several people or magic items in Tradewinds 2 and Tradewinds Legends that grant you this. As an example, the Berserker's Blade! in Tradewinds Legends gives your cannons near-perfect accuracy, but at the same time giving your enemies a slightly better shot at you if you buy anything but the most expensive one. | |

Crossover | |
| Tradewinds (Video Game) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: The storylines in "Legends" happen roughly around the same time and cross over into each other occasionally. One of Nandi Patel's plot quests involves Hasan's search for Sheherezade: Hasan regularly gets information from the Caliph, but never meets him, while Nandi is constantly ferrying the Caliph around not realizing who he is. Tiger Bai's story involves the son of one of the lords who is fated to be killed by association with Nandi, a prophecy that is mysteriously fulfilled without either knowing. And everybody runs into Hasan's possessed brother Omar, never for the better. One of the last Story Mode quests for the Custom Character involves you rounding everyone up to watch the insufferable prophet you've been chasing the whole time finally get his. | |
