Devs didn't kill Russia .. look somewhere else for your scapegoat. The same names keep appearing with failed nations that got so riddled with hate and i guess I am not the only one to notice.

Probably needs to be more but I like the idea

What would be the point in having fewer nations ... forcing people to side with players they don't like or want anything to do with ? Clan based would have been the way to go but too many hysterical historicals started throwing tantrums. If we went clan based then it would be extremely similar to having a far greater number of nations. Why force people into 2 teams , you can't have clan based inside a nation without the toxicity levels rising to global level. Look what happens to every possbile green on green For a nation with no safe zone and no true historical basis , we had an awful lot of players chose Russia and I suspect many of the others in Poland or Prussia and the other nations are happiest under their own flag. Why force them into a nation they don't want to play in I do think that every nation in the game as it is, needs a capital, they could have no safe zone to make it harder if needed If every clan could fight another clan and could be their own nation if they wanted... rather than shoe-horning players into national agreements they want no part of i feel certain there are changes coming to Pirates , but I am also hopeful the devs learned their lesson from the last time Clan based / no nations , speak the language you want and invite who you want , play how you want

a picture does indeed paint a thousand words ...

The Swussians are coming

Wouldn't need a national identity as most of us would support our chosen clan mates rather than the teams inside nations we are forced by the game to put up with now Create your own nation if you desire , only allow in the players you want. Fight over your own territory , not via the choice of some council who don't even know your name. Your national flag could be your starting zone or where you get ported back to, when somebody robs you of your port and possessions. A clan shouldn't have a safe zone , the national capitals could, as now to allow rebuilding. Diplomacy would become more important however , something that has been shown to be lacking in recent events. The ability to play nice with others in the sandbox has been shown to be woefully lacking in the usual areas

How you treat your allies is often reflected in how they treat you when you want something from them. I feel sure that this episode won't be the end of Russia , it might spell the end for some of the fair weather Russians who only jumped onto the coat tails of a perceived winner. Every empire that was of any consequence has risen and then fallen. The Barbarians have been baying at the gate for a while now and perhaps a lesson in humility was needed for some of those who thought themselves above the others. The rest who too all the jokes in good humour , good on you. The ones, who at the slightest jest , took offence and retaliated with malicious words... well that's on you and now you are being laughed at. If you happily dish it out, then be prepared to take it the same way. It might have been a bad night for some but imho it was a good night for the game

whenever somebody threatens to leave

perhaps we should try and arrange our war , around the tea time of your "better" players .... Would you like a weeks notice, so you can inform your council to arrange a meeting of the better players , then inform your council as to the time and date of the meeting, to see if you can let the French council know what time will be best for the battles to start Most of the large nations now appear to have players from multiple time zones now and will set timers according to their whims and or tactics

Sorry Jon, I know what they are and what they are used for, I asked why we are using multiple different ones.

Is there a real reason why we persist with various different units of currency ? PVP mark VM CM Gold It could well be something trivial I am missing but to me it makes everything a little more complicated than it needs to be. Of course if items you could purchase with crypto currencies were BOA or untradeable then it would make a little more sense. Appologies if I am being dense, I am not sure they serve a purpose other than to reduce the tax take in port shops

I'll leave this here for posterity

ask the Spanish... or the Ruskys why have the Swedes helped other nations from time to time and other nations too ? France.... GB When it's mutualy beneficial normally and many times people like to support the underdog. Have you seriously never asked for help ingame ? or IRL ? You chose an impossible nation , what part of impossible didn't people understand

you could argue that this is where diplomacy needs to come in, small nations have always asked for help IRL and I don't see much difference ingame. This will however cause a lot of whingeing as to why the larger nations get attacked by the others banding together

So, in essence you believe punishment should happen to those who fail to show up at a battle ?

it's called a feint isn't it ?

There were some on each side from memory. I was at both screenings and like the Pb's themselves it finished 1-1 good fun for all

lots of players reporting this issue ingame at the moment

My dearest, I write with heavy heart, lately things haven't been good between us, the cost of cartagena tar has been getting me down and I am sad to say I am leaving you. I am off to join the Russian zerg, I know I can't speak the language but I never understood the Germans in the Swerg either. Please do not think bad of me your loving sailor Judas Turncoat esq

is the mark there , If memory serves mine didnt show up until i tried to spend it

currently in maintenance , server status should be updated here http://naval-action.1formatik.com/server-status.php appologies if you already know all this and it's something else.

Where are the Nations main bases and larger clans situated, there will be many like me having moved from Global who are wondering and wandering about thanks
