UWO Game Aides
Here at The Mercantile are a few items gathered from across the seas to help you in your game:
1. Game World Map (2.5MB)
A map of the game world that's been floating around the web. It is a clear spoiler, but when you're dodging pirates, or trying to recover from a "Wanderer Moment (tm)" where you're completely lost, it can be nice to have.
2. Port Guide Spreadsheet (5.0MB)
An Excel Spreadsheet that lists the availability and cost of goods and items in the game, as well as a few other things. It is a work in progress, and primarily focuses on those areas that are NOT listed in the wikis (Africa, India, Carib). I'm slowly updating it with the European information, and when that is done I'll make a more official post concerning it at the boards.
UWO Mods
The Hoser ain't happy unless he's tinkering. For now he is working on a new soundtrack for the in-game music, using a conversion tool off the web. It is a work-in-progress, but 43 of the 61 music files have been updated with over six hours of (subjectively) less obnoxious music. You can download the package here:
1. UWO Music Mod Package (320MB)
You can view listings of the new music and check the ongoing status of the project at the Mercantile Forum.
While it is included in the Music Mod Package, you can download just the conversion program here:
2. .kvs Conversion Tool (350K)

Basics for getting started with the game.
Player-made guide to UWO. The most inclusive guide so far, but still missing tons fo stuff.
Online guide with lots of game information. Looks great!
The most thorough compendium of UWO information. However, it is based on the Asian version of the game, and uses the Google Translator, so it can be hard to find and understand things. For when you HAVE to have the answer!
