Other types of barrels

    Ahoy mates! Here I've a suggestion that I think it could rich the battles and merchant missions. The idea is to have other barrel types, like poison barrel, or water barrel.
    POISON BARREL: When it explodes it throws snake venom instead of an explosion, and it does the same effect and damage of the snake poison.

    WATER BARREL: The water barrel when explodes, instead of an explosion, throws a lot of water, like the chest of sorrow. in a battle it could sink a galleon easily.

    Here you have a concept art:

    There can be more barrel types. Leave your suggestions for barrels and I will add them with a concept image.
    Comments suggestions:
    GROG BARREL (@ManuElManouche ): When it esplodes, it does the effect of vomiting on the face and the effect of drunk for a few seconds.

    INK BARREL (@VendettaX84 ): This barrel when it explodes, for a few secons, it gives the ink in the face effect like with the kraken.

    An ink barrel like when the kraken bleeds on you and temporarily blinds you. This is not a bad idea for introducing new combat strategies for ship to ship combat.

    I'm not a fan.

    It just double up gameplay mechanics already in the game.

    Like, you want a poison barrel, just bring a snake on board. Same thing with ink.. because the poison blinds you.

    You want to fill a boat with water.. the currenr gunpowder barrel makes 4 holes in the ship..

    Vomit? get drunk and throw the bucket full of vomit on someone.

    See, there just isn't a reason for it.. let us have them spend dev resources on adding new things to the game.

    If you want to say, safely board a ship to add water.. let us use the shovel to pry boards off a damaged hull. (And allow ships to perm repair their ship at the shipwright for a fee, or not by just changing their skin)

    @EGGamer13 - Some nice ideas there. I remember a similar conversation back the the TA days and I was a big supported of the snake venom barrel.

    Although these would be a fun addition, I'd prefer to see more cursed chests and with cursed cannonballs coming we may not need these. Could be a bit much on the cursed/special effect items.

    The ship isn't repaired by changing your skin...it still has the same holes in it...everything else I agree, no need for this

    @schwammlgott The last part you disagreed with was a suggested addition to the game, not a current mechanic. This allows someone to get rid of a damaged hull to prevent boards to be removed by the shovel.
