I've had some of my best adventures so far sailing 8 zones away to find salt and sap, including a surprise mid-air raft switch during a cyclone. Good times If you don't like to do that, you could try living nearby to a good shop and just buy your stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aztek 8 Posted January 9, 2019 Sailing is fun, but could increase the speed a little. It does take a lot of time to go from place to place. OP has great ideas. I'm a big fan of upkeep. The upkeep itself should be auto though. Some type of storage that the upkeep will auto-draw out of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, absolutely, upkeep should automatic, I'm sure it could made so it deducts it from either a specified container or the bank, which ever would be present and preferable, it might even be made so you can pay for upkeep in advance for the current land claims, where if one were to add claims, then it would deduct what is due when its time for the upkeep. Yes, I have great ideas, so vote for dev president Incarnate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try having a game full of pirates with nothing to plunder and tell me how that works out for ya. You need trade to plunder my larcenous friend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that would be correct, because that is what Pirates usually plunder - Trade ships and Trade caravans (if on land) To add on top of that, I think Pirates would trade whatever they don't need for more supplies like ammunition and cannonballs, but if they need nothing else then more gold, Rum or Grog will do just fine - whichever suits your taste more Edited January 9, 2019 by Incarnate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
