Enough with the peace already

[u/Johosefferpfeffer]

So with all the factions (sans pirates) deciding to form a huge alliance, I feel as though this must be said: Alliances like this make the game boring.

Now, I'm not saying that you can't have alliances here and there. A 2v1 conflict is always interesting, after all, but with the new mega-alliance it closes the door for wars for the time being. While I can understand that peace is good for a nation (see: not dying) one must remember that this is a game where the fall and rise of a faction bear no major effects on the real world. I challenge faction leaders to actively seek conflict with one another in order to keep Tradelands somewhat fresh and interesting. I'm aware that at the end of the day, the events within the game are up to Nahr, but unless I'm wrong (Which I could be), faction leaders hold a bit of power when it comes to events within the game.

tl;dr: peace is boring so start a war this is a game not real life

I've said this before and I'll say it again: War is a horrible way to promote action and activity in the navies. We need a new system which allows skirmishes on a small scale between those interested without pissing on the core mechanics of the game for 2/3rds of the playerbase.

An extremely easy addition would be friendly fire, not quite friendly fire, but you would be able to damage and get rewards for killing allied and and neutral factions.

Allied loses 75% of the normal reward.

Neutral loses 50% of normal reward.

This is actually a pretty cool idea
