merchants voyages are basically shopping lists for animals, so lets make some revamping to this boring faction.
IDEA - trader merchant ships which you can trade with (their crews), or board their ship and steal their treasures.
trading- to trade with these ships you will have to fly the merchant flag telling the merchant ship you are friendly and willing to trade. you can use chests, skulls, animals,fish and meat, and cargo (rum,silk,plants) to trade for other things such as fine wine, salt and spices which could be used to season meat to sell it for more money to the hunter's call, or the crates that are already in the game. you know all those barrels on your ship? well those could be filled with the fine wine or other precious liquids.
boarding and stealing- if you are not of the trading type you can board the ships and teal their cargo, but beware! these merchants will not want to give away their treasures. or just steal them when they are not looking. how do you guys like these ideas?
