The future of piracy in UWO...

General Discussion
   So here's a thought... With the new rules being able to bring aides into land battle, is Koei gearing up for a whole new format for the game? One where aides can join any land battle and add a whole new element in pvp land battles. Like sea battle, one could 'call' their aide into land battle to assist with duels in pvp combat. It's possible that Koei will introduce a 'forced' land battle scenario on pirates (and BH) like at sea. Imagine that, it would mean that pirates would be forced into land battle by anyone, anytime! They would actually become real outlaws then since they would have to avoid major cities (or literally be attacked by everyone!). This would add a very real element to the game since it's weird now that pirates can walk freely unchallenged by authorities  in all major cities and towns. Just a thought...

    Id say it would be ok if reds could be attacked on land as long as reds can also attack whites and blues on land  as well.
    If they would have to start avoiding major towns there needs to be a payoff to there side as well.
    Look at it this way what Outlaw would see a lone player wondering around in land   and not rob him/her lol.
    Something like this has to work both ways.

    @Crimsonbunny Id say it would be ok if reds could be attacked on land as long as reds can also attack whites and blues on land  as well.

      If they did do that, it would probably work similar to sea, where cities in 'safe waters' pirates couldn't start attacks but could be attacked. Outside safe waters, pirates could attack players, although if whites retreated or died then they would get a 'green flag' and couldn't be attacked again. It would probably be limited to pirates so they can only attack other players in towns that are in 'lawless' waters or that pirates would have to build 'influence' in a town in order to attack. Not that it would be such a worry anyways, it's easier to retreat from a land battle than a sea battle. Players who buy a blue flag would also gain it's benefit on land as well.

       When Papaya started Maris server, they did say there would be more of a focus on land battle (one reason for bringing forced deck battles back). I think it would be fun hunting down pirates on land since now they have the new 'land speed increase' items they have been bringing out (pirates would could 'hide out' in the outskirts only entering towns when needed). They would literally have to sneak into major cities and keep a low profile limiting their actions before they would have to leave or risk being attacked (no more afk bazzars xD). It would be funny seeing white 'alt smugglers' characters being used by pirates to do all their in city work while they stay in port lol.

    Culvern would finally have his own little town since he lives in Las Palmas xD
