Pirate life is looking better and better in AoC!

We know we will have ships in AoC.

We will have Caravans on the open sea.

Now I hear, and I am not surprised, there will be island NODES. so yes, we can have a pirate hide away. Or a level 6 sea side city, that does majoring ship trading.

Also, it sounds like, and I didn't confirm it, if you need to move a lot of gold, you need to use the caravan system. This just changes everything if it's true, and really only makes since. No magical bag to carry a ton of items, or a ton of gold. So if this is the case, you will have caravans with gold shipments. This indeed if true will be a very interesting game play.

What do you guys think?

    We've got us a map, (a map!)
    To lead us to a hidden box,
    That's all locked up with locks! (with locks!)
    And buried deep away!

    We'll dig up the box, (the box!)
    We know it's full of precious booty!
    Burst open the locks!
    And then we'll say hooray!

    We're sailing away (set sail!),
    Adventure awaits on every shore!
    We set sail and explore (ya-har!)
    And run and jump all day (Yay!)
    We float on our boat (the boat!)
    Until it's time to drop the anchor,
    Then hang up our coats (aye-aye!)
    Until we sail again!

  • Damn that is sounding soo good! Where did they talk about the gold shipments? Did they put a new blog up?

    The one that is titled City Hall. It's unofficial, but mainly they talk about stuff that might be in the game.
  • Currency has no weight in this game, so there won't be shipments of gold (if that is the currency they are going to use) for people to steal.

    They were talking about it here. But like I said nothing official.

  • Currency doesn't have in-game weight, but as always designs are subject to change and improvement due to feedback and testing :)

    Link to livestream at timestamp where this is mentioned.

    Right, IMO I think it would just add a different twist to the game, and I hope it will have weight.
  • Or sink it & find it a decade from now
  • I swear some people want to suck the fun out of a game, before it's even made. lol I made a 2nd post of this topic, but at the end of the day, the DEV team will make the call on what to do. IMO I think the gold bars shipping between towns by caravan is the better idea, and you leave the players gold alone.

    I want to have something like the old Spanish treasure fleet in this game, now that will be a prize to go after if your playing a pirate. Again this would be funds between two towns by the Mayors office.

  • Considering we only have a vague idea what caravans will have in them, and we know trade ships will be the same mechanic, I'm going to wager ships will carry resources but may also have lootable currency as well.
  • So I am forming a pirate/privateer crew. No question. I need volunteers! I already have a guild lined up to help bankroll my endeavor!!

    Any of you scurvy dogs up for the challenge?
