  1. When attacking a shallow water port, you only have to destroy tower A.

     

     

    Whilst attacking atwood, we destroyed tower C and were a bit miffed that it didn't capture the port... so we went on to destroy A and won the battle. So technically you only have to destroy one tower..... it just has to be tower A, the furthest one back.

  2. I'm pretty sure that this game isn't exclusively about the golden age of piracy...

     

     

    Well you have pirates in-game. Seem a might silly to put pirates into a time period where they didn't exist.

     

     

    Then again, you have the american nation in game, at a time when the united states didn't exist.

  3. Having the blueprints and merely holding ports does not a navy make. If it did, we'd have pirate ships of the line and no one would say boo.

     

     

    Fact of the matter is, the US navy didn't possess anything larger than the connie and essex, so limit them just as you plan to limit pirates. It's only fair and just and 'historically accurate'.

  4. Name one American first rate built between, well, let's say 1700 and 1800.

     

     

    Actually, since the US Navy didn't really exist until 1794, and the united states until 1776... which is far beyond the age of piracy, the united states shouldn't even really be a nation at all.

  5. I'd like to see the spanish SoL's modeled more on galleons... the brits and dutch and all them nasty euros can have their ships modeled after the standard SoL's.

     

    US can have large 4th rates, the connies, essex and such.

     

    Give the norwegians viking ships!

     

    Pirates can get up-gunned, crewed and faster versions of the smaller sloops, cutters and brigs. The heavy rattlesnake for example.

  6. Newp, pirates tended to prefer faster, shallow draft ships, and I entirely agree that the pirates should be limited to smallerish craft and raiding methods... no line battles etc.

     

     

    But, in the same vein, the 'Golden Age of Piracy' only peaked around 1726.... so throwing in ships designed 1812 and onward is far out of reach of plausibility. And really, there was only ever one Victory, one Santisima, one Constitution... the idea of popping into a battle with 25 of any of them is ludicrous.

     

     

    In the end though, if the nation players want to start counting beans, you have to count all of them, not just the ones that suit you.
