I do like the idea of the nation modifier though, the buff to smaller nations would seem to be a good thing.

Months of help from Swedes = fine, Russia starts helping a little = DED GAEM Sealclubbing the British when they were down = Fun, how DARE they ruin your game by getting organized?

Oh man 😛 Gibt's auch Bilder aus der Kindheit und die ersten 100 Exemplare der Biographie mit Autogramm?

For even fuller 'historicity' Trincomalee => UK, France (which had the ships the Leda class was based on) Victory => UK, Russia (they built a handful of them) Diana => Spain Surprise => France Santa Cecilia => UK Rattlesnake => US Leopard => UK Hercules => neutral 😛 Hermione => France Pandora => UK *Brig => US *Snow => UK *Lynx => US Endymion => UK, France (Pomone) Rattvisan => SE Redoutable => FR, UK (they built a few of them)

Are you sure limiting competitive first rates to France and Spain and restricting everyone else to the Redoutable is the way forward? 😛

Remove 'Random Fire'.

Make book slots sticky for fleet ships; Assigned books should reappear when ships are moved to/from fleets.

Make it an option for ship DLCs to yield a non tradeable crafting permit [on the same cooldown as the ship]. So instead of printing the actual boat with woods of my choosing, print a regular permit that needs all the resources like a normal ship to be built.

I agree on the leak problem and usability issues of the Victory, a fine ship that is useless in the current meta. Victory (and Pavel) need help. Nitpick: Victory and Santisima were in battles on opposing side lots of times but never in a duel. Victory never dueled an Ocean class ship. By being on the winning side a ton of 74 gun ships 'survived or even defeated' the large first rates too, does that automatically make them superior? - it's not a good argument I could ofc be wrong on this and would be happy to see if there actually ever was a duel Vic vs X

Now that is quite a catch O_O .. gief cannons

Some indication on the map or symbology like the patrol zones to get some warning at least would be nice.

Death + Taxes!

Thanks for spelling it out haha I did give the OP the benefit of doubt of working it out for himself

double post

HMS Victory: 100+ tonnes of ammo. How many times does a 32 pound, a 24 pound and a 12 pound ball fit?
