Freedom!!! with consequences...

I think the game will be more dynamic and appealing if you let players chart their own courses. Alliance mechanics may be nice but their should be ways to break alliances, backstabbing, double-cross, or go rogue. Maybe a rep system for players and for nations with penalties for low rep.

I believe that's the purpose of pirates, dont like the ideas and beliefs of you nation ? Go pirate Though they do need and will get a rework to become actual pirates

We are not aware of historical examples of backstabbing in the Royal navy for example. Or maybe even other navies. 

Navies did not like people who did not obey national orders.

Its always amusing to me to see people try and instill 21st century values into games set in completely different times.  

 

The Admiralty and/or Secretary of the Navy does not approve.  ;-)

I'm not saying we should enable Clan-Clan fights within one Nation. That would become too messy for everybody.

But we need to be able to play out such a story.

Revolutionary Charters are a different beast. The OP might be more interested in whateverOutlaw mechanics come down the pipe.

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

We cannot bring the colonial rebels to the table here. We already have it a independent state in game.

 

The only way is the Captain Kidd's way. Make a mistake on purpose. Go pirate/outlaw.

 

Works perfectly.

Latin American Revolutions!

Edit: An Independent Haiti!

I'm trying to find Captain Maturin in the history books, but so far no luck.

So what is your role in this game?
