@dark arisen the clan diplomat okayed everything and @Tom Farseer for being my favourite grammar Nazi I'm still not sure, depends on time, amount of content etc... Might just keep it irregular depending on info I dunno. 10k doubloons good sir

Hello folks, Thought we needed some more fun stuff and I spend a lot of time sailing places. So here it is. This newsletter will mainly be focusing on the Dutch perspective of Naval Action.

We love you Thonys ❤️

That'd be quite a nice addition and something I've not seen suggested before

REDS came from Danes originally... You can go to the diplomacy section of the GB Discord, they themselves say that.

GB diplomats must be lying then. Ceasefires don't generally result in joint multiflips, exchange of ports (Morgan's, Little Cayman, etc..) and screening. Alliances do though!

GB is allied to Russia now so a weak GB is good.

Ah hello British player. Unfortuately only one person died that was Dutch that evening in an actual ship. The rest were troll Pandoras and stuff for the PB. Hardly a resounding success. Most clans don't care about us attacking GB except LIONS and everyone has told them to hello kitty off which is why they're leaving the Dutch. It was so hard to get you to take ports when I asked, had I known all I had to do was attack a backwater shallow water ports I'd have not bothered The timing of this is simple, it doesn't have anything to do with Azua etc... but the fact that consistently there are empty port battles. Monstecristi wasted an hour of my life I shan't get back because presumably you guys couldn't fill it. There are too many empty PBs which is a symptom of too few players spread among the nations. It's a consistent them of mine, even when Dutch were the zerg, that the nations should be balanced to provide better gameplay. Brits'll be a weak nation soon that I know

They all just moved from the smaller nations to one nation. Russia's success comes from integrating several of the former nation's RvR fleets. REDS took in the Danes and Spanish for instance.

I said the same thing then as I am saying now. Got nout to do with being Dutch.

Most are Russian players I would bet

10 quality players on a consistent basis? Yeah, that is too much for many nations. We don't all have massive clans to lean on. I'm not saying that they should be 3v3's. You could easily halve the BR and there would be 5v5 and such. I preferred the old diversity of port battles rather than this bland 5, 10, 20 etc... I've always said that the BRs should never have been changed from then.

BR for port battles are still too high. People wishing to participate in RvR continue to move to nations that have shown a capability to field large fleets because they are a necessity to be competitive. BR needs to be lowered to give smaller nations a chance to compete and to give an incentive for people to move to smaller nations.

It looks like they're just taking their time. They're in range of longs but outside carros. Maybe use longs in future?

lol, glad to hear your war is going well Thonys :')

Is there any way to see how players are distributed through nations again @qw569? Been a while and would be interesting to see the movement of players.

I suggest that only the top nation gets them. Benefits Only the top dog has to have them allowing the underdogs the chance to coordinate to take him down. Downsides I guess top dog won't like it.

There really is no rush on ranking up, have fun taking your time exploring different ships.

Go and kill people in 6th rates. Lots of XP that way.

NB: Getting better angle to shoot = Fleeing

Glorious snows!

Dutch are fourth on leaderboard but have an NPC port raid. Why is this?

Maybe a gradual decrease in crew on the ship as the crew jump overboard or consumed by the flames.

Historically I don't think they'd have been so silly to tack downwind of the enemy fleet
