So right now the higher tier voyages just give you more maps instead of being really harder. More expensive voyages felt to me like a chore and became very repetitive. So I had few ideas to make it a bit more fun and challenging:
- higher tier maps would show only a fraction of the island, instead of a whole thing. 1/4th or so.
- super high level maps could be zoomed in more but with a hint of one coordinate axis.
- Co-op maps. Every crew member gets a unique piece of the map (up to 4, depending on crew size?). Players need to collaborate and use the "show map" feature to work it out (show map feature is such amazing thing that right now has no use). This can be done solo but it's harder (you have all the pieces but can't see all at once, need to memorize). If there is a programming issue with assigning unique piece to each crew member, every member could have all pieces. It would still encourage co-op.
- remove directional hints from thr map and add ability to rotate map when holding it so you actually gotta figure out which way is up. This would work great with the previously mentioned co-op map. Imagine crew members holding unique pieces of map rotating them in an attempt to allign them together.
Let me know what you think! Sorry for the typos, writing from my phone, hehe.
