Cannonball Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I would like to tell you a story, Let me start by saying, if this game is what it appears to be, then thank you. I really hope it is because I will put forth great effort in the game suggestion discussions and other forums. With that said, I am a pirate/golden age of piracy/tall ship junky. My passion for this genre of game has kept me awake at nights dreaming since I was about 10. I'd make my own Caribbean pirate board game on cardboard and line paper and play it with my brother. A game where players can; sail, explore, do ship combat, harvest resources, build settlements then upgrade to forts and truly go where the wind took them. I have been planning on drumming up financial backers to make a sandbox pirate/golden age of sail mmo game. We all know of Sid Meier's Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean the game, or Pirates of the Burning Sea which in my opinion came closest to hitting the nail on the head. However none really were what they could've been, limitation on exploring, no day night cycle and the sea's that felt dead. They didn't visually immerse players in the Caribbean setting were it felt like you were in a world that was alive and breathing. They did however knock some things out of the park such as the economy system of Potbs was deep and encouraged teamwork, or Sid Meier's Pirates being colorful, bubbly and eye catching. I hope Naval Action can pull the great qualities from those games and add many more features to create a beautiful immersive in-depth world for players to create personalized Captains of the era in a 360 degree environment. In closing as a testimonial to my passion for pirates (golden age of sail) I am currently developing a board game, British Vs Pirates. (I'll shamelessly put a link to the facebook page below). Additionally 5 days ago I had a Pirate wedding aboard the HMS Surprise where family members were not allowed on unless they were dressed accordingly. (Same ship Russell Crowe in Master and Commander), again I'll shamelessly attach a picture. My man cave is lined with pirate maps, flags, paraphernalia and other trinkets of tall ships and books of the golden age. My nephew once asked me, "Uncle pallo, why do you like pirates so much," my response, "there once was a time where you could be free" Since we can't time travel I hope you guys do your best at creating a world where people can be free, roam the seas and make choices in a non linear game. I am very eager to see and participate in the development of Naval Action as I will cheerfully be involved in discussion in particular the suggestion forum. Thank you so much for putting together what appears to be the game of my dreams. I can't wait to see where the tides take us. -Cannonball
Charles Caldwell Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Welcome Sir.... I have a feeling you'll be right at home here.

admin Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 We don't have a formal policy on this (yet) but we somehow feel weird when people try to sneak in advertising into their posts. Why don't you just post directly in the tavern- here is a game guys, please dont delete because i think it is awesome because of the following reasons. And if it is worth it we will keep it here.
