Yes, but later I saw that US flag in game is from 1795.
The spanish flag was only an added note for information.
-
Another date, the actual spanish flag in game was from 1785.
We have in 1795 to 1797 then?
-
I don't know what happens in Tolú, I am offline since the friday evening. But if some spanish clan are using timers for take unfair advantage, I condem it too.
I say this because I am very vocal about this.
-
Probably he entered in player's missions and sunk some damaged and/or noob spanish captains. Like the video he have some weeks ago.

Forget the British flipping ports. USA offered flippings ports twice. Once before we got into Florida and a Second time before we set up in Key west.
I am led to believe the Spanish leadership has absolutely no idea what they are doing. I am not even sure who the leadership of RAE even is? I thought it was Alex-SD due to his previous comments of making it seem like Spain had some grand plans. However now that they are fighting the British http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/uploads/gallery/album_181/gallery_7411_181_98767.jpg(Quite effectivly at that) I am not too sure what that plan is. Also he hasn't made a comment on here for several days.
I don't know (and now I 'd wish never know) who was the strategist in our faction/alliance, but... it sucks.
Late, wrong and ...never.
Anyway, although that "grand plan" or other would been success, you have the timers... So either you believe that you are so good.
Timers should not be diplomatic or strategic weapons.
-
I am speaking as a normal spanish player here.
As every spanish player knows, I was trying to say a proper tactic for spanish faction since the first days, but... the ostrich preferred to stick your head in the ground leaving his ass out. It was exhausting and was unsuccessful. I learned the lesson for good.
BTW I didn't blame the british for not help in original spanish timers, it was probably spanish diplomatic fault again, but I don't know the true in that. I was working in internal diplomatic business only and it was a hard and exhausting work, you can believe me.
The fact is all Florida, Louisiana and now Cuba coast is painted green and nobody made something for avoid this. Now all that ports are green and impossible to retake at 4-6am.

start RP:
English Letter to All Spanish Admiralty from one British Captain:
What the Fuck happened? You are letting your ports fall to the Rebel Scum that should be wiped out.
Cuba your home is being threatened and yet you sail south though our waters to fight a enemy that is 1000 miles from your home while letting a enemy that 100 miles from your homeland invade and country take your home.
As a British Captain that want to see all nations prosper even in war, i am wondering what the hell is going on within the spanish government.
Thank you a Concerned British Captain.
end rp.
Seriously what the hell went on though with the US - Spanish war.
Time windows, we can't counter that even at first we did try. I've been saying it three weeks.
And I never saw a allied british ship (or french in some cases) capture our ports for put the time window in any spanish port from Florida or Cuba or the Gulf.
Even some british clans were enjoy slowing and sabotage our joined war effort too.
At 4-6am, every port taken by US is impossible to retake later.
-
Only a last post about this.
I do not agree with timer in european lunch time when nobody is playing, but something had to be done trying play your game. I have not decided any of that timers. It didn't work because you have players in all timezones, we not, ok, onjoy your parade along the coast.
-
This thread is about politics, but the problem of timer affects hard at politics, not OT at end of day. In a server without that problem, politics would be different and we would be now fighting in the coast between San Agustin and Cape Biscaino, or joining forces against pirates. All of you can agree with me in that at least?
Many of you are reasonable people who can make a debate with reasonable words.
As we said before, spain was forced to get a workaround and went to play another place with someone who they can play actually. But you can't say it was for ineptitude, cowardy or your great bravery because all of us know the real reason.
-
Again I ask how dense are you. You had the same opportunity to set time zones convenient to you. Again you flat out lie that you never had the chance to. That somehow the U.S is the only one has this magical ability.
You have the same mechanic the U.S players do. Do not blame the U.S faction for your ineptitude.
Yes, we can set our time at 4-6 too, but hardly it would be advantage for us. Because, again is a european server. We could not set any timer because, as you know very well, original spanish ports can not be set time in it. That is the reason you have all long coast without opposition and we can't even try any attack. Exploiting mechanic and call inepts to people who is sleeping is dishonest for your part.
You can see the proof that many of you are using that as advantage. And if I must to be dense for people or devs can see this problem, I will make it so.
And we don't put time convenient to us, we set european time in european server. If I was playing in US server, then I would say nothing.
But it's so difficult to you understand.
-
No, Diana is 12 pounder and in my opinion redundant.
Venus has 40 guns 24 pounders and a better match for trinco with heavier guns to hunt Constitutions.
And more pretty too
Of course, when this ships come, we will al gaps filled I hope.
-
Man you are dense, always playing the victim. Acting as tho the U.S is using mechanics that you don't have access to. Epitome of take your ball and go home when the devs and community don't cater to you.
Pathetic.
No, I am only answer the allusions to another post, not to you. We were not defeated, simply we could not respond while we sleep. Every port taken by you, that port was unreachable for us forever. Meanwhile we read about the mighty power of US faction.... bullshit. All port you took... how many battles with defense were fought? 2? 3? Come on mate, there is clearly one problem here. At least, in the south, we play with real people while we are with open eyes in eurotime.
All your ports are set in 4-6 am, not in european timezone in european server.
That mechanics is only access to you, players from other timezone, not european, because natural server for an european player is european server. And primetime in europe is the only window for fair attacks in european server. If you want to play in european server without exploiting mechanics of course.
That spoiled the gameplay to european players (spanish faction at the moment) playing in european server. I don't know where are our faction players when I am sleeping, but it's clear they are making nothing. I am asking myself even if they exist, but is an european server anyway.
Btw, I saw in a post from someone from your faction, showing that timezone setups, inconvenient for europeans, is intended and used to purpose to take advantage to win.
If you want proofs:
"5. It (choosing the euro server) will probably afford our nation some added security as we are able to set port timers to benefit us and confound (good word choice... lol) our enemies. (Of course this has the bi-product of them doing the same thing and making it harder for us to attack them. We will see how it plays out.)"
Taken directly from one post from one of US clan leaders:
Link, post number 189: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/1242-the-first-na-society-tattered-flags-is-now-recruiting/page-10#entry186033
This demostrate that timezone exploit is intended as tactic to take advantage. That demostrate that my complaints were right about this since weeks ago. You known we can used that too, but the difference is we don't use that, we only set the timers to european time in an european server.
For last, I am only appointed a growing problem, I am a tester, not pathetic. And I am in home now, as a european citizen, my place is european server.
I understand, Justme, you don't bother about all players spoiled by this because you can play with others when spanish players give up and go to hell. You left here with a smile in your face. But for many people this is a real issue that prevent to have fun.
I have also understood from some post that this was a reason that spoiled potbs.
-
This is a great solution for this problem, hope you will all have some fun in that fight.
Sadly, not a solution actually, only a workaround.

You know what's funny, the U.S. offered in an act of friendship to do this very thing for the Spanish so that they could set their own port timers. This was right after the wipe. We were rudely told to go to hell and that they would be declaring war on us. And look where the Spanish are now.
Yes, we are now playing and having fun a real game with Dutch, who actually is playing at same timezone. Happy uncontested parades guys.
As I said before, diplomacy must not be affected by broken mechanics. You have "the timezone Bomb", ok we gave up and surrended and went to play to another place.

The date of game doesn't matter. It's a fictional game.
You can't set the game year because the ships. Ships from 1820's, at least in the first stages of development, are here for other reasons IHMO, they have a real example and devs could take model from it. Constitution, Trincomalee, Linx, Niagara... You can't take this fact and put the year of game in a exact year.
I am pretty sure, if a real ship like Trincomalee would not exist in 2014, devs would choose make another ship or the first example Leda frigate (1800?) or even that class.
Constitution. Yes, she is from 1797, if she would not exist an real example today, she would be only a ship winning in polls voted for US players based in the fame one day she had.
Victory, ok the fame of Trafalgar and she needs an enemy... they modeled Santissima because the fame of Trafalgar again.
Sadly, Spain don't preserve any example actually.
The real reason for we have these ships in game is for please the US and british players because they are the biggest market in the world.
If I remember correctly, US didn't exist in the first week of OW. US was added later and one of reasons US players insist in it was because we had american ships in game, Why not US faction?
Anyway although I am Spanish, I don't need my country is represented in a unfinished video game.
There is two ways, full historic or not. If this game would be full historic, we would need full historic year, map and ships. If not, all this discusion have not sense.
Discuss about ships models, paintings, property of this or that port and number of stars in the flag devs chosed for US is non sense bacause is not historic.
Also is non sense moaning for Spain loses of ports which spanish players can't defend only because it is paint yellow in the far side of the map.
The best approach to all this would be all cities grey except capitols and player base decide their destiny.
Disclaimer: I write only obvious things and facts or in some cases IHMO stuff. I don't hate US citizens or US players or from any other nation. I only trying speak practical and unbiased way.

Good map! Thanks to you, it's nice to see my work made for real.
Maybe I set a bad proportions because I see the map is crop up and botton. Is not print friendly it seems.
-
Duel instances without loss is a good idea. I wish I could open now the game and hit "enter in duel mode" button, select my favourite frigate and throw the glove to jodgi in the opposite side and teach him some good spanish hard words for say when his ship is sinking in flames...

As a pervious captan stated, this is due to over expansion. the Spaniards can retreat to the Yucatan area and base operations out of there. The US started with only a few ports! Let's not even talk about the poor Swedes!
The countries aren't all going to have an equal number of players. Get over it please.
The post you quoted was 15 days ago. Now I am too bored and yes, I got over it long time ago as many of our players did too. I will try explain you anyways:
The problem now is US taking our ports while we are sleeping. Is like fight with a ghost. We simply wake up with less and less ports without can to make something about it. It's like to live in a Freddy Krueger's movie but in Naval Action.
We can ask ourselves why only two nations had exceptionaly grew their territory. Dutch and US. Why Dutch, where they didn't had opposition were able to take less ports than US? USA had opposition from a entire nation, one french clan and some pirates, but they taked many more ports than Dutch and more important, they only losed 1!! The answer is that, timezone, not Don's being a clumsy nation or idiotic players or even our strategy or diplomatic game.
Then we realize US can play in eurotime while their ports are protected with 4-6 timezone. At first we set ports in the hour all people can play and you demostrated you can play in that time taking that ports.
I think this is a MMO game, not a turn based strategy game with one faction's arm tied in their back.
The problem is not the recruitment because we can't to force to anyone in America or Asia or Australia to choose Spain. The fact is US can play in eurotime, they demostrated that taking many ports in eurotime.
I am not speaking about we need to win easy, we want only to play a game with someone, but someone who is playing at same time. Really you have people to play in your hour? Really you have fun taking ports in PvE without make PvP gaming?
As to me concerns, if it was for me I would turn all spanish ports we have now in 4-6 am range and you can make parade taking uncontested ports while I go to play with someone to other area/server until you get all map.
Other nations don't to see this problem yet. When the green tide knock at their door, they probably will say the same that Dons are saying now.
And before some of you begin with the same I read before... I don't hate US country or players. I want to play all together in the same server, but to play with someone at same time, not while sleep.

Venus is your ship then Bixol. SoLs will be too expensive to maintain anyway and frigates will be more numerous. We need more variety in more numerous ship classes.

My map is pinned but I didn't ask that.
Your map should be pinned too, your map was the first precise map in the game as I know.
-
2 or 4.
2 better because is less bright and more eye friendly when you change between the game and map.
-
My vote is for Venus because her armament fill a hole in the ship line (I think, maybe I am wrong). Vrijheid is pretty too, but we have another 74 in game now.
I wish people can vote without national patriotic feeling as I do. When the ships in game have all holes filled, then is ttime for redundant ships. IMHO of course.
-
its unfortunate that i found this one after the pre-selection:
54-gun, Prinses Frederika Louisa Wilhelmina, 1779, SOL
...
She would've made a nice addition i reckon.
Pretty!!! Can we back in time for add this? Of course, not, only will be more difficult for me choose this or Venus. lol

Letters to Habana

Posted
Tibbets.
At least, with night flipping, we could make something, not only wait for to see the next day loses...
In you second quote. Really you need someone answer that? It's obvious answer.
Becoming sad? Many of your faction seem proud for take ports without chance we can take back.
I have a question too. Why you didn't take all this untimed ports one or two weeks ago? Why stops the steamroller? Awaiting for your people gets 3rd rates and leveling before reach an enemy with enough captains fighting in your timezone? I don't think so, you could take all gulf one week ago without reach other factions.
