* RankUp: Like the first game, in every story except for Catalina's, in addition to [[LevelUp leveling up]], you can rise from being a commoner to a duke. No chance to become king though.

Spin-off Infinity Minus One Sword as the entry was starting to read like a conversation.


* FragileSpeedster: The Kansen is the best ship for exploration as it has unrivaled mobility and a very good cargo capacity if its built with minimum bunks and no guns. And all of that is just for the low price of 2000 gold.
** Which, unfortunately, hardly mattered by the time you can buy it: The La Reale, InfinityMinusOneSword of exploration, is available right from the start in Europe, almost as fast, needs three times the number of minimum crew yet still not too many at 30, still had the endurance and speed combination to reach almost anywhere on the map, and retain enough supply to placate natives for discovery. You'd likely be already in one complete with an expensive and locally irreplaceable figurehead, by the time you can get a Kansen in an exploration-focused playthrough.

* InfinityMinusOneSword: In terms of ships available in the game, the La Reale is available right from the start in Europe, is almost as fast as a Kansen (the fastest ship in-game), needs three times the number of minimum crew yet still not too many at 30, still had the endurance and speed combination to reach almost anywhere on the map, and retain enough supply to placate natives for discovery.

** Sell a single piece of map data to anyone but Mercator, and Ernst can no longer beat the game. Of course, since Ernst's entire objective is to complete the world map for Mercator...
