What about civil wars?

[Anne Wildcat]

I'm just curious, the only faction in game that can have a civil war is pirates. What happens if, let's say, Brits want a civil war? I guess they will have to turn pirate?

As civil wars are few and far between, it would be hard and counter-productive to implement a civil war system in game. The clans bicker among each other as it is, it will rapidly degenerate clan relations within nations.

"it will rapidly degenerate clan relations within nations." - yes civil war

 

I think it's worth trying because it's like RL - nations working as nations (usually) because of loyalty to the flag but sometimes collapsing in internecine strife

OMG, what about bringing more ideas like this to the incomplete game?

at this point in history if a captain and his crew lost their loyalty to the flag they would have become pirates. Much as they would in game.
