More powerful nationality bonuses, to balance out the Pirate : everybody else ratio
Possible discussion ideas
Rearrage scores so that higher is always better
Lower the cost of some one-use items to promote their usage
Make Initiative known to all before actions are sent in
Eliminate some nationalities so that each faction has more members
Make rolls public
New item suggestions or existing item changes
New exploration results or existing exploration result changes
Anything else you'd like to bring up
I already have a pretty good vision of what I'd like, especially as far as nationality bonuses. They are roughly based off of Orzel's commentary here, with some minor changes.
I say roll a D4 for both the hull roll, and supply score roll.
That way, early sinking isn't as possible. People would have to take multiple damage.
Alternatively, just roll after taking the damage, rather than at the end of the turn.
The situation I ended up in, where I was caught in a storm, and 4 turns later sank due to lack of bullion for supplies was kind of silly. If I should have sunk, during the storm would have been the time, rather than signifgantly after the event.
Course this is partly just me being a bit miffed at dying that way. But Lucky dying so soon was also quite bad.
Hmm well personally I'm a big fan of Sid Meiers Civ and pirates games, and so I'm partial to the nationalities being the important part. As such I like the nationalities determine you stats thing, but professions wouldn't be bad either.
Other things. Well personally, I wanted to try the trader approach and try and just sit back and gain gobs of stuff last game (WHICH STILL HASN"T BEEN FINISHED ) and that came out with the unstoppable ship known only as The Inky Terror however, this made for a pretty lacluster game. So from a non personal, selfish point of view, you need to bump up the rewards from killing people.
I can't find it with subscriptions, the link in the first post of this thread, or from wading through three pages of SMBG's. It's not in this sub-forum either.
I PMed myself a copy a while back, but I seem to have deleted it cleaning out my in/outboxes...
Time to talk to a mod.
Most of the rules I can remember, but I kinda need the exploration table and I'd really rather not type out everything again, even though I am editting a lot...

On pretty much every forum software I've seen, if a thread is deleted it's gone. I don't think this one will be any different.
They might have some sub category of the mod forum where old SMBG's go.
I have to try, at least.
Well as far as I can tell the deletion of the old threads is to help with server troubles. So moving them wouldn't be done, since it wouldn't ease server load.
