So the rest of you would be under the Danish flag then I guess?

Frankly Herminator should be the one facing a tribunal for this attempt at bullying other players within the same nation to do as he says - that is toxic. My clan 'disregarded' treaties at the start of EA and its ended up getting us some of the most fun fights and has contributed significantly to how the map looks now. I vote a significant NO to self appointed councils being able to dictate what others in their nation can do.

Or just leave it as it is, works fine as far as I can see. If (player designed) councils agree a ceasefire etc that is up to them, if they can't police it between themselves (using existing game mechanics) then clearly they aren't strong enough to dictate terms. Any imposition by a 'majority' on the rest of nation is going to end badly. How many alt accounts do you think would get created, or people switching nation for one day, to 'fix' the result?

I'll be honest my British Clan cheers every time we see DRUNK buying a flag and waving two fingers at those who have bent the knee. They are like the mouse biting the elephants leg and if not making it fall over then instead always have to look over its shoulder! Skillpoint loss has now gone as well (apart from one very specific circumstance)

So where we just took so many french ports undefended we should perhaps say you are also griefing us because you didn't defend them? but anyway this isn't about timers, its about the great fights we had. We see tonight that the french defended their shallow water port, and the Spanish have bent the knee and allowed them a port - me hopes it is to allow the French to move up into the US territory.

Haulover was excellent. Our late reinforcements won us the battle, you had it up till then

San Andres last night was great. French were heavier, made the mistake of capping towers not destroying them and we managed a valient defence once we got there (Spanish screening fleet thought we would come from a different direction). There was no smacking in chat, just tipping of hats and pleasantries exchanged.

Sigh. I know you've lost a lot of heavy ships, but do try and not be too salty. It has been an excellent fight. We were fighting for hours against you yesterday and it was excellent.

Having significant BR advantage is not a tactic by itself, and it is why you won.

this was only a matter of time as the largest nation (pirates) allied with the Danish so massively outnumbers the British Nation.

Bravo! I very much look forward to reducing you to five ports (or less hopefully) in the future.

Its a secret British weapon around PR, you're FPS drops so much you want to leave and our poor noobies can sail in peace...

I think the biggest change I'd like to make is slow down the capture rate of ports. I've been turning over a few ideas (not all meant to be done together, just various ideas): 1) We captured a port doesn't flip at the next DT but the one after that, this gives players more of a chance to recapture it 2) Recapture. Once a port has been captured and is in contested mode the faction that lost the port may buy a flag and attempt to recapture it. There is no window for this (ie can be attacked anytime before the original capture completes) but only one flag may be bought. 3) 2 Battles per town. When you initially buy the flag you have a PB as per the current mechanics. There are no towers in this battle but the circle and BR system from current port battle are in. If the attackers win this battle then thew game will generate a new battle (which works like out current PB) between 22 - 26 hours in the future. If that is won then the port flips at the next DT as per usual. Obviously this would need tuning with neutral ports as they wouldn't show up to the first battle.

Nice, like it. Looking forward to seeing the French actually have to fight somebody once they are burnt out from taking so many uncontested ports! Hopefully we will have pushed the Danish and Pirates back by then so we can resume our good fights with you lot.

They have so far, that's why Spain has 4 ports. We're trying to stop the guns doing the talking...
