THE COLONIZATION UPDATE
Allow a crew to fight an OoS type skeleton boss on a few different islands, letting them claim it through a long hold prompt at the end. When claimed, the island will have a map marker and/or world marker. Probably 1 per region for balance reasons.
These territories are simple. They have a few island defenses, but every 20 minutes, a skeleton crew will generate a chest worth 15k gold, and protect it from intruders. I thought about maybe making it so it was 10k to the inventory directly, but that could encourage AFK farming.
If claimed by another Pirate, the timer DOES NOT reset. It is encouraged to claim the island as soon as possible so the skeletons are on your side.
Maybe even some placeable defenses and traps could be useful here. Just a little sandbox element to expand on a more defensive and territorial playstyle in adventure
