LM71Blackbird Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Well, I for one, think this is a great addition! I agree that pirates should definitely get a boost since they are the least funded faction. That, and I like the idea of destroying those secret hideouts! However, I'm still waiting for those land combat rules to come into play... possibly, maybe, sometime, soonish??? With soonish being a relative term of course... Quote

Have they seen combat - and succeeded? I find this offer to be pretty dubious. Show me - and the rest of the Brick Seas - wht your self-proclaimed "mercenaries" can do. Raid some settlement of value, let them show their battle prowess. Then we can talk. Quote

Expand I feel similar about Mesabi Landing - I would just love to see somebody try. On a related note @Bregir @Capt Wolf @Legostone @Phred: how is the "troop location" thing coming along? Right now I have no way of telling where all my troops are - makes planning a bit difficult. Quote
Bart Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I wouldn't mind sacking either one as a training exscersize so to speak, I wouldn't mind loosing some troops, they can be regenerated easily, but I don't want to loose my ship. Quote

Expand Hmm… Here's what I would propose: Raid Quinnsville with what you've got. Since we really just want to give it a trial run, I'll personally take care of all the expenses that may transpire (i.e. I'll pay to have the Narwhal sister-shipped if she goes down or return her in the event of a capture). If she did sink, you could always say the crew abandoned her and made a getaway with a similar ship from the harbor.

To be honest: I think it is better this way. If you want a game with proper strategy and tactics, there are plenty available on the market. For something set in the Age of Sail, with a great economic system and workable military and ship-to-ship combat, I highly recommend Anno 1503/1602/1701 (in that order).

Kwatchi Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Ah. Someone mentioned this to me yesterday (as I was frantically building this one) but it did not get through my thick skull that it was a hideout. I mistook it for a colony. Regardless, BB is in the wrong spot. Quote
