Ruse 2 Posted December 31, 2018 So something simple. In addition to having a cap for land claims by a single company perhaps there can be a system for hiring gaurds to protect your territory. They can be killed in both play styles but require gold to keep them protecting your land. By protect, I mean they prevent random claims on your already claimed land so you can actually leave and sail and explore. Having to stay on your claim kinda takes away the exploration aspect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbyssalFlames 1 Posted December 31, 2018 cant you place your crew members on cannons at your base already to do this? they dont protect your territory but they do protect bases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if you buy crew, you can station them at a canon and people can't try to claim your land if they're there but you're gone? I haven't gotten to the point of needing AI crew but if this works then I'll definitely be hiring some next time I'm on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AbyssalFlames 1 Posted December 31, 2018 I dont thinkits that they cant try and claim your territory. The crew cant contest for you. however they will protect your base from being raided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XCman 0 Posted December 31, 2018 would a crew protecting your claim work in a PvE server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunnyTheGrey 27 Posted December 31, 2018 No, it would not. that is what he is suggesting: That crew can prevent PvE claim contesting, as long as they are paid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly this. Just some way to enjoy the game outside of dwelling on land forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hector of Troy 13 Posted January 4, 2019 I would love to see an actual "guard". Like if you had a building like a "guard post" that you could assign NPCs to that could get their gear and supplies from and where you can give them parameters of aggression so that players can use the guard system to effectively make player towns and outposts to instigate a sort of rule of law.
