LM71Blackbird 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My soldiers are mercenaries by nature, You can hire them! The full Battalion for 100 db start up cost and another 100 db per round (mcra). Eventuel losses of soldiers are for my cost to replace.

Eventuel losses of soldiers are for my cost to replace. Are your troops even trustworthy? 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.

Not that I am saying you should or anything... but I'm a curious how Quinnsville would handle during a raid... with three forts and 120 troops... not that I saying anyone should of course...

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 35 minutes ago, Drunknok said: You would not stand a chance with all the ships of your faction combined.

Bart Posted December 18, 2018 @Drunknok Maybe I'll drop my troops of at the beach just to the north and march on Mesabi Landingfrom the back side... Now I write this at thought occured, is that something that could be done in an amcra ? elaborate tactics, spies, planned warfair etc ? @LM71Blackbird sounds fair, I'll get back to you about it.

Now I write this at thought occured, is that something that could be done in an amcra ? elaborate tactics, spies, planned warfair etc ? Nope, this is nothing covered by the game mechanics. 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 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
