You have NO idea what your talking about. We built a rampart on too of out gated harbor, even enclosed it as much as possible. Al the have to do is grapple hook up, the carbine or flame arrow from a distance. Thats it, plain and simple. And destroying a ship is way to easy, 1 man, 2 jars of oil, 1 flame arrow sinks a sloop in 30 sec. all this and then the chinese hacks is makeing the game just not worth of our time. I come from a 50+ company that played religiously. After last night when we had taken a chinese base only to have it suddenly reclaimed by snipers that never missed & naked players that took ZERO damage from fire or punching, yes have video proof of that. One of our punching specialist shows him whaling in an enemy that just stands there, taking no damage and 2 torpor per hit. The guy didnt even attempt to defend himself. Today, no one has logged in yet, I dont blame them, Ive lost my taste for this game already, fix the hacking/exploiting or youll lose all your non chinese playerbase.
