What unusual fragments can be observed in one of the latest versions. Some pirates can float in a free direction, and the rate Hamid Lal is unusual which usually sits in one of ports of the New World.

I just finished reading Venice: A New History, well I quit reading after Napoleon Bonaparte pretty much raped Venice, I had no idea he was such a despicable man. He demolished many churches and historic sites, and turned some of them into gymnasiums and barracks, shipped the Lion's of St-Mark to Paris along with famous paintings and he destroyed many pieces of art for their jewels, and stripped down the famous Arsenal,etc.
That leave me with a bitter taste. I need to find a picture of Napoleon, defecate on it, then burn it. 🙁

Wow, I had no idea he was that kind of man. But a big part of history was lost in events like that.Really sad.

I forgot to mention that he burned the Gold book containing all the names of the Doges throughout the Venetian history.
The more I've researched, studied and read about Venice, the more I started to like the Venetians.
They were the only ones throughout Medieval history who were civilized if you compare them to the French,English,Spanish,Turks,and other Italian countries who kept betraying, backstabbing each other, allying with the enemy, and treating their people like garbage.

It was a community of merchants and businessmen who had common sense and didn't put up with tyrants, monarchs, kings and emperors. The only Empire they respected was Byzantium which they defended many times even though they were betrayed by it often.
Venice became an empire even though they didn't care for it and it always adapted to the time. Napoleon killed it after a thousand years.

Next time I visit Europe I want to go to Venice. I went to Paris, Bruges and London so far but I definitely needs to visit this great historic place.
Also Antonio Vivaldi who had a great career in Venice happens to be my favorite composer. 🙂

Recently game interests me as rest. The rest in an operating time is possible, that. The classical part uwnh 2 till now does not leave from the computer. Certainly, conditions, and we any more использкем a games hookup with the cartridge and element of management now have changed. The emulators have come densely in our game mode.
More all me усраивает the emulator sony recently. Though, the Japanese language also is not clear, but processor of game same and all those conditions! The emulator Genesis has the excellent images, but is already investigated, and, probably completely. The new changes are necessary, and they can be found on Playstation of the version. Now I play only in Daikokai Jidai 2, where all too, as in the usual versions. Only characters have the large intelligence, than in snes and gens the versions. Now настоло time to find something novel!

I forgot to mention this.
Monsoon in the Red Sea & navigation.

During the summer, NW winds drive surface water south for about four months at a velocity of 15–20 cm/s (6–8 in/s), whereas in winter the flow is reversed resulting in the inflow of water from the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea.

I think I tried a few years ago while playing UWNH but I didn't notice a change in the wind direction.
I might try again to see if KOEI took it into account.
I know they did for the current in Central America on the Pacific side where Thor Heyerdahl made his voyage aboard the Kon-Tiki to prove the theory that the Polynesian used to travel way back before the European did.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon-Tiki
I read the book and it was fascinating. I wish I could see the movie about it.

These could be useful while playing UWNH:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Ocean_currents_1943_%28borderless%293.png

The Gulf Stream separates from the US coast near Cape Hatteras (33°N, 75°W) and then travels eastwards across the North Atlantic, becoming the North Atlantic current at about 55°W. In the region between 75°W and 55°W it is subject to meanders and is frequently accompanied by eddies. The northern edge of the current is marked by a sharp fall in temperature. This is also the case at much greater depths, so that the warm current is pressed up against a wall of cold water, called the ‘north wall’. Monthly charts of the path of the north wall of the Gulf Stream have been available from surface, aircraft and satellite observations since 1966 and these have been used in several studies of the path’s variability.

I was just browsing some of these links and it is always amazing to me the distances that were traveled and the size of the ships. Then on top of that this was over 500 years ago in many cases!

Thanks for the links.

Any information that I provide is based on the SNES version unless otherwise specified. I have thousands of hours into New Horizons and I have played it since it was released in the US on the SNES.
