Clans & National Politics

[Taranis]

While I am not presently member of a clan - I really would love to see this game develop a solid clan management system which would integrate into factional politics.

 

Imagine what the game would be like if:

• Players could see the list of clans on a server (and corresponding nation)
• Clan member / allied / enemy color tags would appear in the open world
• Leaders of clans could set the policy of their clans versus other clans (embargo, trade, alliance, war...)
• Leaders could set the flag of their faction (eg: Napoleonic armies had many variants of the same blue, white, red flag for their corresponding battalions)
• Leaders could (either use the default or) set the title structure of their own members (eg: lieutenant, captain commodore, ect... versus buccaneer, salty dog, scallywag....)
• Leaders could designate target ports to coordinate attacks (map markers)
• Leaders could set a tax on their players to kick up funds to a global treasury which the leaders would then be able to use to fund port fortifications, the building of ships of the line, the funding of production facilities...
• Leaders had bulletin boards (log books) to convey orders / priorities to players that are in game at different times (miss the chat discussions)
• Leaders had a "parlay" chat screen to negotiate (chat) with other clan leaders
• Clans had a log of key events their members participated in (a history of key battles)
• Clans had a clan warehouse where players could contribute to the group resources (and be acknowledged for it).
• Clans had a clan dock in their home port where they might be able to hand ships to other players of the group
• Clan leaders could set their clan's home port

Clan organization and Global politics are two aspects that need to be addressed separately before they can be merged.

After this has been fleshed out, and a global diplomacy system has been introduced, then perhaps the tow could me made to supplement each other
