Firstly, I acquired a map to the lost city of the Aztecs, which I duly found and plundered. I then acquired a map to the lost city of the Incas, which positioned it in exactly the same place that the lost city of the Aztecs had been in. I looted that, too. I'm now on the lost city of the Maya, which is in a different place, but only just — you can see them both from the same spot.
Secondly, I married the beautiful daughter of the Governor of Tortuga. Here she is:
Tortuga is an English trading post, or rather it was when I wooed, won and wed her. I've been back a few times to keep in touch and get map pieces after dazzling her with my amazing dancing skills, but as I approached late last night I saw the city fall to invading Spaniards. OK, so I docked and went to visit the new (Spanish) Governor. There was his beautiful daughter, to whom I was married. Here she is:
She's changed from being English to being Spanish, but she's still my wife. In other words, I'm married to "the daughter of the Governor of Tortuga" — whoever that may be!
What an amazing concept: being married not to a person, but to whatever person is pointed at by a reference! You could do strange things if that worked in real life: "I am married to whomever is in this bed with me" or "I am married to whomever pays me the most this month". Wow!
Oh well, at least I have a goal now: attack enough Spanish shipping that they put a price on my head, then attack Tortuga, install an English governor and change my wife back to her original incarnation.
