EL LOCO Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Historically . US sided with France and had its own separate war with England but in this game, it is the opposite. I don't understand it , especially when the pirates are now British pirates. Game is lopsided and boring now. There is no reason why United States should fight along with the British. Does not make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z4ys Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The sense in a British and US alliance is that both nation can cover all timezones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 As long as I can raid the Spanish treasure fleets ( and fishing white fleets ) the diplomats can do whatever. Personally I would favour siding with French corsairs doubles rather than the Brittish "let's raid with squadron of 8+" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I would say its because early on in this game the US and Spain were bitter enemies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Historically, the US also had a war against France, and they almost declared war on both France and Britain simultaneously, soo But yeah, in game if the US were to switch blocks it would be better. Unlikely, but better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anolytic Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The game spans a wide time period. Deciding alliances by historicity is futile. The US being on opposite sides from Britain would make sense for time-zone coverage and population dispersion. However it seems like an unlikely thing to happen. But game mechanics are needed to force more than just 2 alliance blocks, smaller alliances and also easier alliance transitions. It should be possible to switch completely from one alliance to another in 1 voting cycle if both parties agree. It would make alliances potentially more fluid and make alliance changes viable again, something which with the current mechanics they are not. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sruPL Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 OK, so it will be GB & Dutch (suffering lack of players) vs Spanish & Swedish & Danish & French & US? and then suddenly nightflips will be good, because you will have players US, right? *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complain about lack of players if you get to the level of the playerbase in sweden please haha. Dutch are suffering lack of players. 7UP left them and most of Dutch don't do PBs.

Think it's referring to how pirates were defending Santo Domingo and freely given La Vega. As for the Dutch internal conflicts, aren't those pretty much gone now that 7UP jumped ship?

Hethwill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Two things I have came to notice regarding the awesome wave of newcomers recently that might or not be tied to population spread and nation/clan politics indirectly They remade character in other nations due to some nation(s) having little or almost no english being used. They wish some nations would be more universal and less language focused. It is a community issue. On the opposite side of the coin we have a lot of native language players that do not write or understand english that join nations due to language issues. Again a community issue. So better get to work and welcome all in a good universal way/language than struggling with population issues because the game-nations self isolate themselves when they unware impose barriers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to decide. In one thread you cry about nightflips, say "go to hell" and so on, but then you want US to go on your side and nightflip us. Sounds like hypocrite. Personally I am fine with nightflips, even if I cannot defend ports and go to sleep, it's just a game and others want to play it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not make sense. A lot of people want it to be boring. Take a look at PvP 2, the 2 biggest nations are allied there since forever and keep stomping the rest of the map. All PBs you see there are morningflips from the few chinese and nightflips from the US players. There is no opposition.

Lots of pirates Ive talked to think that Brits are the underdogs and thats why they are helping them. Its stupid, but it is how it is.
