Hethwill, the Red Duke

Exactly. Not all oranges are.

Hyena. Because of the laughter. I do prey on some Dutch, but most are out of harm's way. And mind you that being a privateer for the Dutch nation and a freebooter has a lot in common albeit more liberties

I do not understand. At the moment any sail on the horizon or close IS within the 2 minute timer. This is a gigantic clue for any captain to know how safe it is to engage and if there's friendlies around that SHOULD help if the need arises.

Ship report letters - accessible all the time at free ports - display the amount of ships, by rate, that passed through in the last hour. select five random captain names to list as well.

Dutch falling asleep again into the AI sheep herding again ? -.- no no no NO !!!! War fuels trade. Trade fuels war. The Dutch way.

Same with Port names

I win every time I step into the deck and find some action. Believe it or not the game is as simple as that and it never ends. For the Nation level warfare I would suggest a more in-depth design rather than the Risk game. At first we need to have a mechanic on how to play Diplomacy, given it is the main obstacle at the Nation level. But let's see what the Land update bring and how the port battles evolve and how traders get affected when intercepted in the OW.

Yeah, I love the "A LOT!!!" classic line then we go into detail... 5 lmao a lot

One bounty at a time...one at a time...

We did not need a reason. We had an excuse - get a Dutch into the list and as we all like you, there you go. Congratulations.

We keep it simple. - W of F.Oran. 2 frigates, headin NE ships descriptions get divided in 3 categories small ships frigates SOLs no need for specifics.

Main issue that resulted in a ton of useless and outright offensive threads and posts was indeed the lack of maturity to want or know the difference. Many knew exactly what they were doing and kept masking themselves under the RP veil. Shame shame. Best for this would be a specific Board for Community Roleplay & Events, with very specific rules and NOT entitled to anything relating to War&Peace which, reading Admin post, might have its own forum arena...

What about the honest and community driven roleplay threads that are there ? Such as the bounty hunt thread and others.

Privateer, Lynx, Brig (navy) and Belle Poule / Gros Ventre. In that order. I find the extreme decorations on the Renomee outside my scope of appreciation the same way that standardized frigates for the end of the period - Trincomalee / Constitution and all similars. Ships of the Line generally, in my opinion, lack soul. They are only gun platforms.

Free 1 durability versus Costly 3 duras...hmmm.... Bellona still has more inherent structural soundness than the 3rd rate. It is not only a matter of guns and aesthetic or hp.

lol just lol

- log entry - Fourth day of April, Year of Our Saviour Two thousand and sixteen Weather is clear with distant mist Horizon visibility at 12 miles Twelve contacts registered, two engaged - Great Britain trader, yielded 1500 pieces of eight sold to the provisioner at Grand Corn - United Provinces trader and fleet of sloops engaged, both escorts sunk, cargo prized at 750 pieces of eight sold to a Dutch merchant at the Free port of Coquibacoa, merchant which identity shall remain undisclosed The last 24 hours were spent on the sea travelling first Eastbound to reopen the contacts at Cariacou and then Westbound to visit some friends at Concepcion and finally setting a new base of operations at Grand Corn. The only idle stop was, when returning from the East and after we prized a over-confident Dutch trader despite being escorted, and we sold the silver to one of our former contacts in the Dutch fold. Reputation remains solid as ever and the men enjoyed the stop after the fight against the two sloops. The first went down under withering cannonades, the 4 pounders paying off the rate of fire along with some youngster we hired to help the crews by moving the powder canisters, and the second had to be put under the sword by boarding her after we forced the surrender of their master ship trader in such a rake pass that devastated their entire crew. Morale was surely shattered and they struck soon afterwards. The cheers of the crew made me smile like I didn't in a while. The Brittish trader was simply a welcome gift from Grand Corn and its cargo of gold alone was worth more than two thirds of the prize. Despite having a good sailor as a captain the superb flying of the "Indigo Bobcat", a modified sloop based on the American lynx models, made sure that he had nowhere to run once land was off away beyond the horizon. No help could come. Nowhere to run. The captain tried all the tricks he knew but a valuable lesson he learned. Do not underestimate a lynx sloop. Given all these events I must record a rather peculiar one which took place at Coquibacoa before I departed to Cariacou. A well known captain of mine, a standing piece of the United Provinces Colonial Navy, a member of the Dutch Antilles Squadron, which identity shall remain undisclosed, approached me in the peer with a odd proposal. Not that I have not been in rather unsavory or strange straights but this one, he said, comes in the right moment for the right captain. A perfect job to be executed alongside my own agenda. Then it struck me like a twelve pounder... - "I want you to find this certain captain ( for identity purposes let's call him Mr. White ), hunt him and do battle with him until he has to abandon ship or surrenders. " Now this is something out of the ordinary for a Navy Captain let alone for a humble privateer but given the gravity of the events, which my good friend proceeded to recount, I acquiesced to his request. I shall remain some time still at the new base in the West and then will return to the main haven. We have a marked target to hunt and a treasure fleet lead to uncover.

The quality of the PvP has increased. There is a genuine consideration for your nation buddies and people organizing hunting parties and securing areas and helping each other out. Before it was dimissed as - "why didn't you call reinforcements !???"

Yep, Tommy has it covered. Number 4 is a bonus cookie I think.

The plot thickens...

I hereby pledge the sum of fifty thousand crowns for the capture or sinking of a Gros Ventre vessel commanded by Pietjenoob, captain under the Verenidge Provincen flag.

During an Alpha stage all kinds of unexpected issues are expected, some are controlled other are not. Very sorry that pvp2 was down for so long.

If the game account is the Steam account ( important for old accounts when it was split ) it is only needed to change the Steam name. I have done this. It works. Was changed from HethwillKhan to Hethwill and the game updated character name.

Disregard mechanics. You have a choice to play it hard. - Get yourself a Lynx and a Privateer ( and Yacht if you entitled to it ). Name it a Pirate Pack. Engage in no economic activities at all. Open outposts only at free towns. Mortimer is non existent. Free towns are your pirate havens. Sell all plunder. Keep stock to a minimum. Sail only ship you capture. Buy only Lynx / Privateers if needed. Engage alone or in pirate fleets of the same nature - sloops-of-war or captured vessels. Have fun. - You have a choice to play hardcore mode.

lol, you are a freebooter. You even hijacked the Tour de France
