Expanded Boat Battles

Twinny · #1 11-10-2007, 05:19 AM

I think it would be awesome if you had a map dedicated to boat battles and expand what you already have.

For starters, I think it would be cool if each kingdom could create a flagship. This ship would be massive and have lots of health. When players die in the sea battle, they will respawn in this ship. The ship can be repaired during the battle and players could choose to do those jobs (tarring cracks, fixing holes etc.) It should also have alot of guns for side-to-side flag ship battles

In case of side-to-side battles, could also introduce boarding. From any boat, you can either swing across (flagship) or use a boarding ladder and attack the crew directly.

The flag ships should only be available on pre-planned sea battles. To win, you have to either take down the enemy fleet and their flagship or take over the flag ship.

Just a start

I actually like the sound of that, but i doubt it'll ever be implimented

I like this idea too, If it is just one ship per kingdom than it shouldn't be too powerful. Yea it would be a juggernaut, but it makes since.

Hmm, this master ship would need alot of supplies to make. Can't just have it appear out of the blue... Those who win the war at sea should be able to take their prized vessel and park it into a seperate shipyard (closer to the shores parallel to main island) where it can sit and wait for the next battle. This would obviously save that kingdom time and supplies for the next war, whereas the losing kingdoms would have to rebuild if needed.

If that boat was worked on more it'd be perfect for a Kingdom battleship.

I think it looks all fancy like the best kingdom ship would.

Kingdoms should have their own ships. You wouldn't expect pirates to have the same kind of ships as samurai.

Well depending on which kingdom isle you make your ship in, the sails are either Brown for Dustari, Cyan for Zormite, Green for Forest, Red for Samurai or Skull and Bones on Black for Crescent Pirates.

The sail variations are not what I meant. I mean a real difference in the kingdom's ships

I'd only advise differences in kingdom battle ships for war, not for normal travel/fishing.

Sexy ships that there's a limit on how many you can build? I only meant a cosmetic change in ships for kingdoms, not any huge differences

ViperZakuto · #14 11-11-2007, 06:47 PM

how about put the kingdom flag on both sides of the ships... or put each flag on the sails =D

Pojo has a point, these are supposed to be completely different nations so there should be some distinct characteristics for boats.

Idea (?): CP get battered and stolen ships but still very good. Torn sails maybie? Dustari get very military like ships and fancy sails. Samurai would get nicely decorated yet not very effective war ships. Zormite ride on dolphins and instead of cannons, they get spears. Forest run on perfectly carved cylinder tree-trunks and shoot with sling-shots

kia345 · #17 11-11-2007, 08:15 PM

I see Pirates having the war torn, scary look about them.

Dustari would have the nice, clean, well-kept fleet.

Samurai would have something extravagant (image)

I'm at a total loss for Zormite's and Forest's though
