Hunting a treasure galleon

[Kokerpiraat]

I'm enjoying the new fishing mechanic. The bottles you can catch add excellent random rewards and are fun to navigate to. I was thinking, this concept could be used for something more challenging and interesting. This is my proposal:

 

A treasure galleon (or multiple) randomly sail across the map (or spawn depending if you have the bottle). The treasure galleon is escorted by multiple ships of the line and will require cooperation and teamwork to take down. There will be a high risk, but if successful, the loot and rewards will be exceptionally rich.

 

This could be combined with some PvP, like two parties hunting for the same treasure, what do you think of this suggestion? What could be added?

Let me know.

Maybe add some riddles as well?

i think treasure fleets and escorted merchants with more loot is in the works i just don't remember the thread

anything to put more people on the ocean would be a good thing. right now we have 5? reasons to sail.

 

move resources, move to mission, hunt people moving resources/missions. oh ya and go to port battles. and now fishing and BOTTLES! 

 

HUNTING treasure ships would be really. 

 

AND it could be something like faction get emails saying "his most catholic majesty king hernando spanisho's royal treasure fleet is departing habana on >this< day bound for spain! captains are expected to protect this treasure as it departs the dangerous Caribbean waters."

 

and or....

 

"reports indicate a spanish treasure fleet is departing habana >this< day. the captain(s) who captured this fleet would be greatly rewarded in both honor and riches."

 

 

^^this would lead to epic line fights on the open sea. DONT say when the fleet is leaving. just have it rando depart from some the capital on the announced day at some rando time and let the games begin!

Every time i capture a cargo ship with 100k in goods on it i assumed that was a treasure ship.

I get over 100k gold with a single fleet mission. Not special enough.
