HachiRoku Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I've been thinking about the war of Carthagena and I like the fact that this port will always cause wars even with all the alts buying goods. The port is so good that its worth sinking 1000 ships to take simply because of the income of gold it makes. Today its 12 million. I am against the OP thickness of ships atm but that is more the base thickness of the ships and not the refit itself. Maybe a bit of both to be fair. I don't really care about this in this topic because I want to talk about copper so don't talk about op thickness here for now Now I think if you did the same to another port and made copper plating craftable and just as hard to craft(maybe harder) it would be a 2nd port to cause big wars. Nassau Boarders and crooked hull are not worth fighting wars over but copper might be 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odol Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I agree with this. Southern Haiti or the Yucatan would be a great place for this port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that has to be the most ignorant statement I have seen since the US Election, or the last time Trump took to Twitter. While some people who are rich are that way because of hard work and playing smart, others are rich because of luck and hand-me-downs. The same goes for the poor, some are poor because they lack the knowledge and or the skills to make money, and others because of bad-luck and theft.

Christendom Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Or we can just bring back copper mines and make copper plating craftable again.......because you know, just about every ship in this time period had a copper bottom and it was nothing special. #realism 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navalus Magnus Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Maybe mods like Northern Carpenters and something like the French Rig Refit would have a similar potential of provoking RvR, if they were tied to a single port or region!?

EdWatchmaker Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have also noticed the Carthagena Tar wars. Great war maker. I like the idea. We need 4 such other places and 2 of these should be in the Gulf so players will have a reason to go there. If copper is one then it needs to be in the form of ore that has to be smelted and turned into sheet copper in the workshop. Then the sheet copper can be sold to shipwright to build ships. More war, more crafting and more content for a lot of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our "impossible" nations would be, well, impossible. They could control supply of raw materials by capturing the resource ports but they would have to have another nation craft the mods for them because they have no Capitol. And make those distant resource ports need something from the capitols to encourage two way trade rather than one way teleport.

Right now only the ultra rich and those extremely lucky from RNG have copper plating. I've seen the price as high as 60 combat marks for copper, equaling a value of 15-18mil. If nothing else this would provide a more steady supply of the mod. People would fight to control it, and some would sell it in free ports to make a ton of cash. Sounds good to me...
