Frontline System

[Vibrio Cholerae]

@admin Hi,

I have 1 question about the new frontline system!

- Is it normal that the hostility mission ( country capital to country capital) is the 3 nearest ennemis ports and not the 3 nearest port? 

Let me explain as a Russian from puerto de espagna you can take hostilities mission for Cumana, Bridgetown and Roseau!  Roseau make no sense because the 3 nearest to puerto is  BT Pampatar and Cumana. A other exemple is La Bahia: the 3 hostilities mission that you can take is for Sisali, Campeche and Arenas! The REAL 3 nearest country capital is new Orléans, Penzacola and Soto La Marina! This allow us to by passe Vera Cruz... This mechanics rise a question: Is that the way it’s mean to work? 

Because a this point you need to post a timer on each and every port to prevent attack on it!

Also take into account ports that are already captured by your nation. I dont think you can take hostility missions for ports that are friendly to you but I have not looked into that recently.

Front lines is meaningless if hostility drops from free towns.

You can't make it that one point stops the advance because then its even easier to dodge with timers.

It's not necessarily one point...but it could be.  With the front line format done correctly (no free ports involved) it would be possible to out flank certain ports.  It would also be possible to find choke points where you cannot be flanked.  Could be a fun strategic problem.  There would be counties where you are very safe with buffer zones in front of you and other places that are constantly under threat.  The centre of the map would be a hot zone.

The other point is that some nations are cornered. so hostility from free town is the only way to get out of a corner, or you will eternally fight the same ennemies

Yeah, but you can choose your nation.  No one is truly trapped.  Those in the corner also have the security of a buffer zone for their ports further back.

I'm unconvinced by the entire front line system.
We have ships, if we can sail to X why should we not be able to take it provided we bring enough boats/troops etc?
