Something I really wanna see in game are factions. This factions would control parts of the sea. These would be defended by their forts, something simillar as we saw in Assassins Creed: Black Flag
These type of forts would work as skeleton forts do more or less, they would attack any ship that gets near, and in order to attack them you should destroy the towers first. This is needed to be done in order to stop in the island safely.
This towers would shoot you normal cannon balls and MAYBE fire cannonballs.
Once you entered in the fort you need to advance forward, there would be room type passages that open as you kill a round of soldiers. In each room you will face 3 rounds of different enemies.
This enemies could be in differents layers of the map:
Some will come in to your level, these troops can choose between attacking with guns and swords, so as you get near them they can change the strategy.
The other layer would be up in the walls, here there would be mainly snipers, this will not be as much as the normal troops, but they can deal a big damage to the player. Apart of that MAYBE they could activate some kind of lever up there that activates a trap such as dropping hot oil, let dogs come attack you or open a trap behind you. The way to stop them would be shooting them before they activate them, so for this you need to vigilate them or get rid of them as fast as possible.
There would be some special troops, this would appear in the last round. This special troops will work as a miniboss. One of them for example would be a big man with armour or a diving armour and a arpoon launcher. When he shoot the arpoon and catches you he pulls the rope of the arpoon as if you were a fish., so you get stuned. In order to get away of that sittuation you or another player needs to cut the rope. In other case if you get near him he can hit you with some kind of melee weapon. His weak point would be in his back, so the player should flank him.
When he dies you have the chance to destroy the door ahead. When it gets destroyed you would see a huge office, the decoration would depend between Spanish and British forts.
So, as you enter you will see there is a big safe in the bacground, and in front of it there is the almirant of the fort. This almirant will have a strong move set, specially will be fast, so you will be in need of watching your back in order to not get stabed from behind.
Once he is dead you will take the treasure and get out of there.
Having this two major factions would help to the creation of things the game needs:
BOUNTY: They would be the ones puting the bounties on players. As they rule the seas they would work as the sea police. As you shink some ships this factions would put a bounty on you or your crew. This will be noticed to every ship in the world and will give a little information of where you've been seen last. If you pass near a fort, then the last seen text would change. As there would not be a lot of forts this could give a hints to the players of where they should look for.
ENEMY SHIPS: If your ship is able of get rid of 5 or 7 enemy ship then one of the factions would send a hunter ship. This ship would be a sloop type that is slightly faster and tougher than the normal sloop, He will be equipped with two cannons more. His orders are to destroy your ship. If he gets you your team will be put in prison for 1 minute before you respawn, while this time you will be unable of loging out of the game. In other way if you destroy the ship the faction will quit the bounty on you, so it would work as a way of getting the attention of other players.
EVENTS: This could be from attacking a fort, as to attack a Spanish or British megaship that is moving a treasure from a fort to another. This would be active as much as the ship needs to move from point A to point B. This ships would be full of soldiers, and in order to get the treasure you should use a grappler hook.
Another event could be a war between this two factions, so as you get near the battle you will be ask to choose a faction, and then you fight for that faction. You would work as a mercenary behind a faction flag for the battle. Depending the faction you choose you will be granted with different types of reward when the battle ends. The reward only will be granted if your team wins.
FUTURE CONTENT: Having such a huge factions could lead to a lot of new type of missions, such as stealing a enemy ship in order to sell it, or the creation of big cities as Cuba or Jamaica where the Spanish and the British are established. Here you could get exclusive items or skins from Spain or Britain. If they put ship customization it would be logical that in these places we can find different types of ship parts, as each country had their own technology.
This would also introduce new ship parts, lore, clothing, songs, hairstyles, cosmetics, etc
I would be happy to read your opinion.
Thanks for readind and good sailing comrades :D
