packets don't arrive for some reason - this is one of the explanations. could you please reset the router and relog after that to check?

The game does determine who is a screener. Screener must be useful. if he sinks ships he screens he gets pvp marks AND maybe even captures those ships. If you consider the screener the person who attacks and just kites to keep someone in battle this activity gives no rewards.

You all misunderstand one thing. Trading ports does not increase amount of conquest grants from governments. Holding them does. They will only get those conquest grants only until they come defending them. If they don't come to defend they lose them. So for example brits will just raid the coast and deny grants to everyone.

they will if they need conquest marks

no. spain will lose ports they cannot defend. screeners get pvp marks now. Attack and sink gives marks. Attack and hold in battle does not. and? Then french come and cap both ports. Or British.

But where are the easy marks? There are many nations - someone will want that region too.

If you have hostility points you have priority rights to enter. You can get even get your clan a region yourself if those 25 you mentioned do not reward you for helping them. Why help them at all if they don't reward your screening action?

what easy marks? marks are given for control not for capture or recapture

the rest won't make it where? How hard it is to capture Soto La Marina for example for a small clan?

Political solutions for region distributions are allowed. If your enemy likes you they can surrender you a port without firing a shot. They don't have to come to this PB.

yes. current state of map is considered status quo by governments. But you received conquest marks for them did not you?

don't understand what you ask

flipping does not matter now. You don't generate extra marks for back and forth flips.

yes. control matters now.

Some captains advised us to post this topic as a change of strategy might be required in conquest. Thus here is the edict. National admiralties and governments will now provide mark distribution - called a pension (name is not final). The requirements to receive such pensions are simple If you win a port battle for your nation you personally will start receiving conquest marks for that port. If you defend a port battle for your nation you personally will start receiving conquest marks for that port. For as long as your nation controls this port players mentioned above will continue receiving conquest marks for that port. If someone captures that port from your nation they will receive pension from their nation for that region. Pensions are non-hereditary and you will lose it if you lose the port, or if you don't come to fulfill your duty to defend it. As a result. Gaining regions and controlling them becomes extremely important to support heavy fleets. All regions give 1 conquest mark as pension Some regions indicated in the patch notes can give a bit more. Governments close their eyes on political port trading (its allowed). For example you can pay pirates to attack a port to deny enemy their pensions for that region (which they will lose if they don't come to defend). Or you can request nations to fake attacks to your regions if you don't like current landowners in it. The best strategy at this stage is to grab as many regions as you can. Some regions provide better pensions due to their importance to the region.

there is already a topic on this recently created

50 pve marks will be given to every player as a compensation for a signaling perk removal

You are never late in war. Indians controlled 100% of USA land when settlers landed in Plymouth Rock. Francs showed Romans who is really the boss in france. Pick on easy enemies and rebuild.

marks are not removed.. they are in game. they will just be distributed differently.

Patch will be deployed today to live servers. Changes to conquest Conquest changes significantly but we want to keep the details about the change vague. Conquest marks as a reward for damage port battles are removed - so don't be upset when you don't get conquest marks in today's battle that will happen after maintenance. Conquest marks will be distributed differently from now on. Certain regions significance increased for conquest. All regions give 1 conquest marks. Some give more. Capitals of the regions your governments demand to bring under control of your nations and will provide additional benefits for them: Santo Domingo Cartagena de Indias San Juan Port Au Prince San Iago Morgan bluff Vera Cruz Campeche Nouvelle Orleans Bridge town Road Town National governments and Brethren of the coast councils will consider current state of the map status quo and will only provide conquest marks for the increase of the land and its control. Other changes PvE to PVP mark conversion improved on the PVE server to provide for the above mentioned change. Additional UI bugs fixed Stability of the bug reporter improved Mystical bug bringing 6th rates into 7th rates missions is still being searched for. We can't reproduce it so please send us more reports from inside the missions while you run away from that rattlesnake

Captain we are very sorry but we had to remove that perk. Such things might happen from time to time in the future. We will provide the 50 pve marks to everyone today in redeemables.

British captains perfected the fireships and destroyed the Spanish armada. Britain as we know it exists because of fireships. For more information on fire ships and their use please proceed here https://www.awesomestories.com/asset/view/Spanish-Armada-British-Fire-Ships https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fireships_of_the_Royal_Navy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_ship on the painting- cheap fireship destroying a ship of the line. Cheap fireship destroying a ship of the line again in the Hudson Verdict Cutters can't sail on parallel course with Trincomalee or Indefatigable. They just don't have the speed. You cannot get attacked in the harbor of KPR if you are a brit And fireship was and is a valid tactic in the age of sail with many excellent counters. Destruction of fire ship was always a priority and was awarded heftily (its in the Royal Navy Articles of War) Captains who perfected the Cutter will do great deeds in the future. Thats why it is recommended to sail every ship and practice practice practice. Its the Navy - not the game. Feedback on upgrades or skills (including fireship) should be sent to relevant sections topic closed.

Dear captains! If you participated in port battles previously or if you have port battles today please make sure that you use your conquest marks before tomorrow's maintenance. A significant change is coming in a tomorrow patch. Prices for blueprints will remain the same, but prices for permits will go up due to changes in how conquest marks are going to be distributed. TLDR If you have conquest marks - or will earn them today in port battles until maintenance tomorrow (2nd of June) - spend these marks on permits! spread the information in the nation or/and in global chat.
