Santiago de cuba, santo domingo, vera cruz, nouvelle orleans, nassau and san juan Yes, and in the current system, I feel like they will always fall to the nations with no capitols (at least initially). The other nations will have a tendency to secure their own borders first 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarosa Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Working as intended. Devs are strange people indeed. Boosted skill level with unlimited repairs, crazy upgrades, mod stacking, golden ships ect for quite a long time "to able to cope with zerg I guess." As Russia become the new zerg, they decided to boost zerg now. I am not saying they did it intentionally... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galt Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 While I think it's garbage that basically one nation owns all the best ports (maybe we, as a server, should get together to do something about that) It's getting a but old that anytime the Russians win at literally anything, it's because the Devs (who are Ukrainian) helped them. This is getting to tin foil hat levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting to tin foil hat levels. Concur, but the fact remains that there is a Zerg and they can take whatever they want. Game mechanics should exert some control and at the moment they don't. Part of that is because we all had our legacy ships and resources, so that will change with a full wipe. I think that there should be a Major port (all mod cons) at a convenient spot near every capitol and that all nations should have a capitol. After that, let nature take it's course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be many adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van der Clam Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Where did you guys find info on these 55 point ports? Is this how the Russians/Prussians knew so fast which ones to take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galt Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I feel like the positioning is kinda good though, it's an attempt to spread people around the map. Although, I think that you should have the option to level up your port which would increase the port points. Capitals can be up to 55, minor ports up to 45, and shallows up to 35.

I agree that something should be done so that all nations have a chance at a 55 pointer. I never like to see a multi tier advantage where the most powerful can get even stronger. One or two nations with control of the most powerful ports cannot be good for the game. (here comes a controversial idea....) What if only national capitols were 55 point ports? #makehardcorenationshardcoreagain Edited May 10, 2019 by Angus MacDuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make capitals subject to raids and it's a different store entirely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus MacDuff Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 There really are a few questions that need to be answered by Admin. 1. Coalitions or 11 nations? 2. Hostility drops from Free Ports? 3. National capitols for ALL nations? 4.Distribution of 55 point ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
