Boarding should give SOME experience, maybe like 50 or 30% but give far more gold to represent the efforts on capturing and symbolizing the "prize" of the ship taken.

Again an awesome job. Ty sir!

Mr. Collister, you have my most sincere admiration. Thanks for this awesome guns source sir.

This is something really clever. Make it happen. -It would be also great if you could just toggle a default 25-50-75% on each section.

Yes please, this is a must

Admin. Frankly, this is quite a difficult problem to solve. The current situation was something to be expected. As I joined Spanish faction(and being myself Spaniard) it was clear that being poorly populated and having so many ports would mean that we would lose at least half of them over time and the current situation makes think its goits be even worst. Spanish faction has the highest number of ports(cities) to defend in a widely spread map as they where historically, but only have the option to defend them by sea, which is not historical. Cuba its a perfect example of this. Historically any foe who had landed, and somehow captured a city on that island would have to fight with land troops sent from nearby towns to recover it. Meaning that full-occupation attacks on this kind of places would need incredible amounts of resources and manpower to have some chances of success. Let me explain so you don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that Spanish(or any other nation historical isle/region) shouldn't be conquered in game as it would remove the "sandbox" part of it. One solution would be to create two types of attacking flags: 1. "Raiding flag" allows the attack on ports and the subsequent raiding of it for the next 48(?) Hours. Meaning that attackers would be able to capture player ships docked there; and divide the gold equivalent of the value of resources, materials and outposts established in that port. That monetary transfer would be done progressively in the next 48 of the attack thus encouraging defending players to defend/recover the place. 2. "Conquest flag" This type of attack would mean a full scale permanent force sent to occupy and hold the port and city. Should be something money and resource EXPENSIVE, symbolizing the huge efforts to be made in such ventures. I would suggest that attacking faction should have to craft provisions, weapons, and train/craft occupation troops. In addition to the high cost of the proper flag. Before some of you call this idea "Spanish bias", think that this is something that will only make the map less "volatile" and will for sure just delay complete conquest Spanish ports by other factions seeing the lack of Spain players. No worries, I don't feel offended.This is something related with our real social behavior and national problems on which we are more eager to cut our throats between us for minor quarries than joint together again a common problem. But I don't want to make a political discussion over this. There are also some individuals from Spanish clans that by their behavior and way to treat faction members created animosity, and with it, future collaboration quite difficult for their harsh manners and prepotency. Sorry for any typo/grammatical/vocabulary errors. Hope I explained myself good enough. Kask

I don't know if its projected, but.... What about the possibility of purchasing or renting buildings in ports where you have an outpost which give you reduction in Labour hours costs, or faster hour regeneration. I.E. -Shipyard(rent/purchase) this building provides you a proper place to assemble ships thus reducing the hours needed to build them. -Factory. Same as the shipyard but for materials. -Workers barracks. Your factory/shipyard workers have improved resting facilities so they regenerate Labour hours faster. Kask

Wohooooooo! Nice! This is something really interesting and welcome

No..... THANK YOU, After years playing tabletop mini fig age of sails games this is something incredibly fun, just keep improving it!
