Marlinspike Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm trying to find a guide to port battles that tells me how to create a port battle, about hostility, frontlines, county capitals, timers, etc. Google search leads me to out-of-date guides. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlinspike Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks @rediii this is a good start. If a current guide doesn't already exist, I will take what I learn here and turn it into a guide. I'm pretty darn ignorant on this topic, so it will be a good guide for a noob. Is the process for capturing a port exactly the same when the port is neutral, as when the port is occupied? What are the steps to capture a port? Hostility mission is 10v10 max. What is the minimum? Can a single player start and complete a hostility mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a single player has to be a member of a clan, because it's the clan that will own the port, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Felix's map https://na-map.netlify.com/ For Brunswick I see: Port battle 11.00 - 8.00, 10,000 BR, 4th rate AI, 1 conquest point, 35 port points What are these numbers and do they relate to "100% hostility"?

s2bu Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Graf Bernadotte said: You can get hostility missions for a county capital only from neighbouring county capitals or from neighbouring free towns. That's the frontline system. The term "neighboring" is misleading to put it mildly. I would still like to see an explanation by the responsible dev on how this system actually works. It is neither proximity (flying - direct line) nor proximity (sailing - shortest distance avoiding land). Edited June 11, 2019 by s2bu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this change is not anounced pre-wipe just shows that the game isnt really ready to be released and the release we are getting is super rushed... It's like swapping around types of chess pieces in the middle of a game... Edited June 11, 2019 by s2bu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van der Clam Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 If it were my game I wouldn't announce it. I'd want players to find those ports themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2bu Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) the api spits it out so ppl only have to look at felix' map after activating the apropriate filter. so the reason for them not telling us is not them liking to keep a secret - it them being clueless themselves...

Marlinspike Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 So I'm doing some testing on the Peace server while the War server is down. Yesterday I took a Conquest Mission at Savannah for St. Mary's (a neutral port). I then proceeded to the mission off St. Mary's and sunk the single cutter (I was in my yacht), thus completing the mission. Then, nothing. No indication that I accomplished anything toward capturing the port. I see references to percentage hostility, like "must have 100% hostility" -- where is that indicated? What does "100% hostility" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll save that for later. St. Mary's indicates 4th rate AI, but I was able to take a conquest mission in my 7th rate yacht. Could that be an issue?
