Idea for both pvp/pve. - Ai invasions.

[Martyn 246]

Just thought the mini game of treasure hunting (and ships at sea) is kinda fun, until you get used to your tactics, then it just becomes farming.  Then eventually grinding.

 

So how about instead of SotD random fleets at sea, there's also incursions of SotDamned invading player towns, they might aim for specific banks or flag locations, with a fair sized aggro range, with small groups of ai driven mobs attacking buildings, ships, shipyards, beds (protective buildings).  Events could be timed, at completion the Ai "disbands enmasse death" and leaves behind a treasure or group reward for any who died/fought etc.

Ai groups would be set by algorithm dependant on the size of communities of islands being invaded.  Maybe size of island would only attract invasions, maybe numbers in residence, maybe tech levels/levels of players on avg etc.
