Hello Сaptains!
We will abandon the 5 color grades for upgrades and ships. Fine (blue), Mastercraft (purple), Common (green) are not used and thus are useless. Nobody makes them and nobody buys them.
...
Just a moment please...
Grey, green, blue and purple ships have been build in the past ans from time to time I've even bought them. I agree that in the past (e.g. before the port wipe) there were mostly Gold ships build. This was result of the availability of resources. That Situation has been changed completely with th port wipe (e.g. only six ports producing Silver or two ports producing Live-Oak). For a certain amount of time Clans might have their warehouses filld with these resources, but once they have exhausted that reserve I would expect to see a lot more of grey, green, blue and purple ships sailing around as most People can't affort to build only gold ships.
Probably you Devs should wait some weeks to see the real Impact of the port wipe patch.
This one sounds like a quick shot from the hip to me.

What's new:
...
Mission changes.
- ...
- Missions will generate or reduce hostility - thus enemy should be able to influence the flow of events. Because of that missions will always be open for entry for all sides for 30 minutes.
In general I really like that idea, esp. that missions are open for 30 min so a nation has a chance to defend their regions.
One thing looks a bit annoying and at least totally unrealistic: Ships, joining a mission after some minutes are spawning at the same place. For instance, a group of three Frigates fighting a single NPC SOL can find themselves just in the middle of a bunch of 10 enemy players with SOL's etc. ... out of blue, magically appeared in carronade distance... uh greetings from David Copperfield!
I would suggest, that ships joining a mission later should spawn in some distance to the battle - the later they join the bigger the distance.
Our real life counterparts 250 years ago would have seen a reinforcement fleet in a battle hours before and so should we.
Edit: Removed some awkward typo's - shouldn't write such posts drunk and in the middle of the night.

I have to say that I don't like those kind of threads. While it's a showing off for one side it's an embarrasment for the other. Those two screenshots that are usually posted never tell the story behind that battle. Two screenshots (a snapshot of a battle) won't entertain me much. And last but not least, a real sportsman won't show off like this with his success and for sure he won't embasrass his opponents. Videos are different - thy are entertaining.

what about those?
They look French to me. End of story
-
And here we have one of the biggest historical misconception of the history provoked by the anglo-saxon propaganda. Arrive at the very last time to "save" everyone... is soooo anglo-saxon...
Ahm... a year before Spain was still fighting against the allied forces aside the French
Edit: So you are f***ed anyway: The Brits will say Spanish are not grateful for the help, the French will say Spain was backstabbing them. What a mess

Anyone with a basic knowledge of history knows that an alliance with Britain is just a brief interlude before the perfidious Albion stabs you in the back again.
Britain has never had any true friends, except small protectorates like Portugal or Greece, that were just useful peons in the British never ending game of balancing and counter balancing continental powers.
...
If you are referring to real history, you probably forgot that the perfidious Albion was kicking the French and Napoleon Bonapartes brother Joseph who claimed to be King out of Spain between 1807 and 1814. Something the Spanish were not able to achieve on their own.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsular_War

@ Capt. Pellasgos: Why, for heavens sake, can't you just shut up only for once?
...
Capt. Pellasgos,
I have to admit, that my wording on that post was not polite. I apology for that.
I would rather have asked you to express yourself and your probably valid points in a more polite way so they would get noticed in a way they deserved.

...
We ask that the Dutch wait until Monday so that we may move our ships from ports West of Cabo de la Vela.
...
Indeed, you did. Like we were asking you not to take Fort Oranje. You agreed to our request, we didn't. At least we didn't so far.
You were claiming that the Flag for Fort Oranje were already on its way when we requested that favor. The Dutch Nation High Council will have it's regular meeting tomorrow 1900 CEST and we will for sure discuss this topic and vote for a decision.
Unfortunately there are always some over motivated players in our country that can't wait and probably won't even follow the Councils decisions. I believe you know what I mean because you - or the French - lets say your coalition claimed to have the same issue with some clans and/or players - and you don't have a P.
-
Yeah like the day you brought 30+ English to attack Carupano and St George after 2 weeks of attacks failed ?
As far as i know you called your allies first and it worked, after that we called our allies too and it worked better so stop crying about our allies and go find real allies.
Mijnheer, I believe you're mixing up different threads... Who is crying about your allies? It's up to you to choose yours and up to us to choose ours.

You are whining about 3 nations againt 1. But the first step of a war is to find good allies.
If you are alone it is your fault (or your allies fault).
Who is whining about 3 vs. 1?
I'm looking forward to the new PB System and I hope this will end the fake attack to take ports without fighting bs.
And sure, I really understand that you Frenchies need good allies that do the hard work. We prefer to do the hard work by our own.

Capt. Pellasgos,
first of all, unlike you I watch my mouth.
Second, the Dutch Nation High Council decided to send their diplomats to the Spanish just to see if something could be achieved for the Dutch player base with the upcoming port wipe in mind.
Third, neither I nor my fellow Diplomat bowed to the enemy. You were not there so I consider everything you wrote came out of your crude fantasy.
And last but not least: I'm grateful for the fact that is is not up to you to get anyone of the representatives of the Dutch Nation High Council or Diplomatic Corps to step down from his role.

And by the way, when we had this conversation, you still had 8 or 9 ports. We had already launched the attack on Fort Oranje when you came to our TS.
We didn't atack you the day after this conversation, and some french players not representing the nation, took 5 or 6 ports from you. You can't blame all France for those actions.
With 8 or 9 ports you have that minimum space to do things, but unfortunately you ended up with only 2 ports and that is something we did not plan beforehand.
...
When we came on your TS the Flag was not planted and you assured us to stop it. Anyway, I considered this as an offer from your side and you decided not to fulfill it and you have had the right to do so.
Yes, at this point in time we had 8-9 ports. But these are finally ports we will loose with the port wipe - so no place you want to store your stuff. Yo may probably not understand the issue and the importance of Fort Oranje and Fort Zoutman in conjunction with the port wipe because Spain will not face that problem, so let me explain:
Together with Willemstad which is our capital, Fort Zoutman and Fort Oranje are the only ports that will belong to the Dutch Nation after the port wipe. Sure we will get Fort Baai, Oranjestad and Philipsburg in the North but they won't help us now because they're too far away.
If Dutch players want to store their stuff in a place they can access after the port wipe then it has to be Willemstad, Fort Oranje and Fort Zoutman. Therefore it's most important for the Dutch player base to keep those ports.
When we came to your TS getting back Fort Zoutman and keeping Fort Oranje was all we were asking for. No peace treaty or cease fire, no agreement for anything. I told you that we're fine to fight you in OW and anywhere else but you decided to take Fort Oranje and attack Rio Tokuyo afterwards.
Once more: No complaints from my side. It would have been a generous gesture to let us keep Fort Zoutman and Fort Oranje for the reasons I explained above. You didn't, that's OK for me. But f**ing don't tell me it's in the responsibility of a few independent French players that this happened.

It's what the spanish always do, they do the agreement with you so they can backstab you later. They have done that with brits more than once.
Well, I won't call that actually an agreement. I have considered as an offer from their side. They offered it to us as a gesture of good will for the time coming after the port wipe when we become neighbors. And they decided to retract that offer for whatever reason.
-
..You helped the british to take 30 empty spanish ports in 2 days trying to reduce Spain to one port (another time)... so what? ...
Brits and Dutch stopped that campaign when Spain had 15-16 ports left IIRC. They were not attacked on the North side of Cuba - still enough to maintain a player base, get people together, trade and build new ships and come back into the game.
So Spain was not reduced to two ports while facing a port wipe where you own only one port that will ye yours after the wipe. I still believe these are two completely different situations.

Ah, Vicious, no crocodile nor any other tears on my side.
Finally to bring it to the point: We talked to the Spanish two days ago and asked them for the generous favor to let us keep the ports of Fort Zoutman and Fort Oranje since these are the only ones left to us after the port wipe. Nothing more, nothing less. We told them that we would be happy to fight them on Open Water and any other port. If we were not facing the upcoming port wipe we would have never made that request.
Such a gesture would have suited a real Gentleman. It would have kept doors open for the time coming after the port wipe. And last but not least it would have shown respect to the game, the community and the Dutch player base.
Well, they assured us to stop the Flag on Fort Oranje and give Fort Zoutman back if we become neutral in the Spanish - British conflict. One hour later they raised the Spanish Flag at Fort Oranje. The rest you can see with a short glimpse on the map.

You can try it not worked with 5 nations, so unless you ask devs to put more nations, is more likely that pirates do that on you. but you more then welcome to come try again i am here waiting, maybe when you have finish to bully 4 nation on 1 (even tryng to get us involved since 4 not was enought)
Ahm... Vicious, I believe you're barking on the wrong guy. Stilgar is a Dutch country fellowmen I believe

...
Don't worry, You have already say you knew about the proposal and you reject/ignore it...
...
With all my respect Sir, but I couldn't assume the content of this mail as an proposal. And the "proposal" we got afterwards would have meant that we would have betrayed our allies. What did you expect? That we stay neutral when you get on the Brits while you're still supporting your French and Danish allies against us?
And again, I'm fine with it. But what happened in the past two days is a completely different story and has nothing to do with any "Peace" offers.

Some did yes, some did not. Having a council is a good thing but it also means lots of inner talks and sometime inertia. Dictatorship is a lot simpler. In the end this decision is here, it should have been made a few weeks ago, I agree but better late than never
Mijnheer Tenakha Kan,
please excuse me, but that is really a damn good joke.
I did never know that French have such a fine sense for black humor, always thought that this is up to the Brits.
-
You claim that and I was told another story... i'm sure you will understand that I trust more on my friend than on you. In any case the ambiguity in which is your spokesman is an issue in which I shouldnt interfier. But I should remind you that even in public a "safe zone" was suggested and rejected... So..Whatever.
...
Shall I bring evidence in form of a screenshot of the personal conversation I had with your Diplomat Celtiberofrog on the 11th of September?
And by the way, your "joke" was lame ...
-
A "peace treaty" was offered to you in the same conditions than the current one and someone (we all know who) reject it because of just pride and "we don't care, we will resist until the patch comes"...
...
The 'Someone' situation has been explained and cleared several times in the past. At the best will, you can't take that as an excuse for anything.
...
Not agreeing with what has happened since then nor how you have ended...
...
But you did it. So what?
...
I think it was more up to you guys than us...
...
I consider this as one of the weakest excuses I have ever read.
...
It's like if we have rejected the 3 admirals treaty, what would have happened? We would had been pushed to La Habbana...
...
IIRC the three Admirals Treaty was about setting up a PVP Zone at Hispaniola and leave the National territories untouched until the deployment of a patch. It was about protecting esp. your player base and IIRC the Spanish Nation never ratified that treaty so it was never legally effective.
And with all respect Sir, you don't know what would have happen.
...
In other words, you are more guilty than us about what have happened (what I consider wrong).
This is the same weak excuse you tried above.
I would appreciate if you would show cojones and tell it like it is: You Spanish,French and Danish guys decided to make us a one port nation and you did it. Period.
And unlike the British and the Dutch you and your allies didn't care about your enemies player base. You continued until that goal was reached even when it meant to get bored by taking empty ports.
I'm pretty fine with it. No complains from my side and from my personal view I'm ready to fight you again and again and again from Willemstad and any other Freetown.

Well, I have not right nor knowledge to ensure if some is or is not the voice of another nation... Sorry, that was indeed something we could have avoided. I'm not aware of how the contacts were made/started... But it seems clear they werent the proper ones.
I hope with thr patch you "herejes" can join back to the empire you belong
(history speaking) hahahaFirst: Your Diplomat Celtiberofrog contacted me and was asking for a Dutch Diplomat or if Capt. Pellasgos is the one to talk to. That was about three weeks ago and before your "Peace" offer. I told him that Capt. Pellasgos is no official representative of the Duch Nation (and he still isn't) and who were the Diplomats he should contact. So it was well known to your Diplomats who to contact within the Dutch Nation.
Second: Historically speaking the Spanish, the major force of the world at this time, were not able to defeat the Dutch will for freedom within 80 years and they were accepting Dutch independence and the Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden in the Peace of Münster in 1648 and I doubt that they would have done this if they would have seen any chance to defeat the Dutch. So historically speaking: The Dutch kicked Spanish ass.

And why you didn´t asked for a peace before? Taking empty ports have been the most boring actions we have ever done.
We were not asking for a peace!
We asked for the favor to keep the ports of Fort Zoutman and Fort Oranje in order to have a chance to prepare for the upcoming port wipe. I would have considered that as a generous gesture that would suit real gentlemen.
If it was so boring, why did you do it? Why did you Spanish, French and Danish guys take so much empty ports, attacked repeatedly Traders Brigs two times within 15 minutes with a Buccentaure and a Constitution or a lonely Cerberus by two Buccentaure, two Constitutions and a Rattlesnake? *
I agree with you - I consider that as boring too.
But why did you do it? Why did you guys run with three Trincomalees and three Renomees all led by Admiral-Level players from one Constitution and a bunch of frigates and brigs led by mid level players? Same question to those three Ingermanlands that were escorted by two Belle Poules. I believe I have the answer to this.
* Thanks for that fight! Turning my Cerberus and sinking that Rattlesnake with two sides within two minutes was worth it. I would have loved to see the face of that Captain... so fear me

Awe. The war is over?
I will tell the other half of the US navy to turn around then, I just need to send him a chat message.
I pray for a good wind blowing from North to South to fill their sails and bring them home soon.

The following is a very personal statement:
@ Capt. Pellasgos: Why, for heavens sake, can't you just shut up only for once?
With this kind of post you give a bad name to your faction. Your mates should train you better.
...
Sir, with all my respect, but I want to make it as clear as possible: Capt. Pellasgos is only speaking for himself! His post gives a bad name to himself only!
...
Loosing is always a bad thing, but loosing without style makes it even sadder.
...
Personally I consider the statements of Spain and France in this thread as a unilateral decision. The Dutch Nation High Council will decide whether they will accept these offers or not.
The Dutch Nation Diplomatic Corps got into contact with Spanish and French Diplomats when we were already reduced to 6-7 ports and kindly asked to stop or even grant us the favor of keeping those ports that remain to the Dutch Nation after the upcoming Port Wipe so players could have a save harbor for their ships.
Both, the Spanish and the French pretended to be friendly but then they went for taking empty ports and made us a two port nation. You Spanish, French and Danish "Gentleman" were bashing someone who already lay on the floor.
