ArthurVince Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Is it an idea to put some Spooky Ghost ships into the game? - Some destroyed enemy ships with no crew on it, becomes Ghost ships. - Hard to find, but if you beat them, it give you Historical Artifacts, and a lot of XP. - Give those ships historical names like for example: The Flying Dutchman" - Let them be Greenish and spooky if you see them in a big storm. - No crew on it, but a lot of gold in the Hold.. - A good idea for a trophy-hunt for Ship clans.. ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Dutchman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_ship http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/llirik_koo/post95352315/ Edited October 22, 2016 by ArthurVince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosts...goblins...magic, etc. not desired in an Age of Sail game that seeks to be based on history and realism (at least that is my humble opinion). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in that time, the sailors really believed in Ghost Ships.. It was a daily story telling buisiness.. and a part of the daily life.. Now we see all such things as part of the hollywood disney movie buisiness.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we also add those things into the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knew that the earth had the size it actually is ... and that is was too big to sail all the way to Japan and china going west. (and it was) Then men who tried to stop his trip was correct in their opposition to it. Columbus thought that he knew better and tried to sail to Asia.... He was just lucky that there was a continent in the way otherwise he would have been lost at sea with all hand an none of us would have remembered his name.
