At first I would like to say that the suggestions I come up with in this post, are things that I would like to see implemented, to improve the game-experience here and now. One of the things I think would improve the game greatly is a map overhaul. My idea would be to have an open-world map, that mimics that of a real one (a simplified map from back then) and with a compass too, maybe with degrees on (I know we have one in open-world already but it doesn't really make us feel like we are captains sailing The Caribbeans in the 1700's). This map should be designed with a longitude and latitude coordinate system and with a drawing feature that let's you draw straight-lined courses on the map. http://www.walldevil.com/wallpapers/a90/map-vintage-compass.jpg I think this map and the already announced spyscope (thank god ) for open-world will make the player feel more like a captain and will give another dimension to open-world sailing. Another thing that I think would be nice is to simplify the diplomatic system. I've been thinking about this for some time, and discussed it with other players. A lot of players are confused as to how and what decisions are being made on the country's behalf, here the faction-wide notifications has been a blessing to those who haven't been active on forums. Loyalties and alliances change in the blink of an eye and it isn't that easy to keep track of everything that's going on. My suggestion as to how to fix this confusion (maybe not permanently, but as a step in the right direction) would be to make the 5 biggest clans council or parliament material. Of these 5 biggest clans 5 would be chosen from each of them to be in the parliament. This parliament would have their own chat that none else can see and will also have a parliament tab where members of the parliament can suggest diplomatic and strategic moves with and against other factions and other members can either choose to pass or deny the vote. Hope this can help someone somehow to get some ideas going or you can use this out-right. Thanks
