Ok...I submitted this as a bug and it got pushed off as a nonexistent concern, so I'm just adding it here for the administration to pick it anytime it likes.

The wholesale loading of goods into ALL ships in a port is defiled by non working, mislabeled buttons. I added a picture in the original bug report. Just doing duty #2 on Game Rules, your honour. I know that its quite possible to load goods into ships manually by using the warehouse as an intermediary but that defeats the purpose of the hard designed button in the first place.

moreover, it gave me a shock, displaying that "This ship is not yours" whenever I try to do it.

Well, my duty's done. Regards,
Knight Orlong

Point a) is correct: Target loses all cargo, this is translated to gold coins, attacker recieves these gold coins. Point b) states that an additional, and equal, sum is transferred from the targets treasury to the attackers treasury. To my experience, that is wrong (and SHOULD be wrong, as that would mean you lost twice the value you carried if you were skirmished).


The explanation is correct. Now if it is poorly written, that's another case.

Here is an example that I just did to verify:

PLUNDER!
You plundered 82,000 gold coins!
Your fame increased by 6,000!

I got LvL 20 Piracy, so 70k are from Piracy itself.
So I looted 12k from the player.

The player carried a cargo of 6k value.
Here is the message the player got:

Your fleet yyyy (#xxxx) has been skirmished in Psaral by the fleet Supernatural (#71350) of Cyprus Administrator (#1)

Spain has paid gc6,000 gold coins thanks to the Skirmish Insurance Law!
As a result, you lost gc0 gold coins!
You lost all fleet cargo of gc6,000 gold coins total worth.

Your fame decreased by 6,000!

This should say Gender Settings on charter screen and link to it.. General settings would be more like if we could change the background colors of the game as if ea person had there own graphics settings. Unless you plan on additional settings latter down the road. But as its right now there is only one setting there and misleads you to a sex change setting


Indeed we plan to put more settings there later. So we will leave this as it is for now.

(All fixed where applicable)

So point b) referes to skirmish insurance? This should be clarified, then. The literal interpretation fo the wording as it is, would be that the "defender" loses the cargo AND pays the "cargo value". Point b) Should say something like this:

"If the nation of the defending player has implemented skirmish insurance, an insurance is paid from that nations treasury to the defending player. The amount paid is equal to the Cargo Value. If the nations treasury is less than the Cargo Value, and amount equalling the entire treasury minus 1gc is paid instead. This may cause the skirmish insurance to return 0 gc to the defending player".

Or something like this :-)

EDIT: Just fixing some typos.

Seems like a look over the nouns and pronouns used with female-player accounts is needed lol

For the voodoo curse, Purify.
It states "Randomly removes one curse from target player"
Where it would be better stated as "Removes one random curse from the target player"
Just repeat after me: "Czar Ivan did not help me win the elections."

Both are right.

But I prefer it how it is.

How it currently is, it seems as the voodoo curse will at any time be removed, just randomly removed.

Yea... If randomly is before the verb then it can happen at any time since it's an adverb, but if random is after the verb, it means that you don't choose what curse is removed (correct!!!!!!!)
PM me any complaints (10M gold coin wire fee is mandatory).
