World of Pirates
I have had this game idea in my head for sometime if i was rich i would make this game. a open world pirate game.
You would start the game on land or a port with picking your Capt. man or woman like how he or she looks & what do you want to start out as. A Pirate, Merchant or Navies. what country England, Spain, France, Netherlands. Gametag is place on the back of your Ship or the ships you get. You start off in a Sloop & work your way up the ship class. where you can up grade your ship with guns, type of guns, type of ammo, crew, train your crew, types of sails, if you want color or a flag on your sails, thicknesses of your ship. At ports you can repair yourself at shipyards. the battles are the Caribbean Sea. In battle two ways to take a ship you can blow it out of the water where you get XP & 1/4 of loot or what ever trade it might be on the ship. or you can board the player's ship if you have the crew to do so and can loot the ship.where you can get XP & loot.. this loot can be taken to ports and traded for coin to buy or up grade your ship or crew. Your-ship can only take so much. the more stuff on your ship the slower she will sail in the water. might want to buy better sails for your ship. Plus the type of person you pick to be could have more room on the ship but less gun mounts on your ship. type of player you are and ship depends on what can be taken. leave some of the loot take what you need. Now depending what port and country you are. going to a port to dock at depends on the coin you get back for the loot or trades needed for that port.
What's that mean? Let say England and Spain are at war for the week and your a English Captain, if you where going to sail into a Spanish port your not going to get a good price for the loot or trade you bring in. Plus because your at war with that country there might be other players there that are Spanish navy that might want to battle you with out getting mark as a pirate. Yes if you start your player off as a English Capt. & you fire on to a friendly or a country your not at war with you will be label as a Pirate. You can stay as a Pirate or pay a fine to have your name cleared up.
What happen to the player or players lost in battle? Well they are sent back to the port they came from for repairs and upgrades. the battles at see is real time sailing with a view of 3rd person above your ship and sniper view as if you where a gunner with real reload time. Hope your crew is trained in how fast they can reload 18 ponder! In the game there are battles and supply runs you can do for trade to ports. You can take the trade by yourself or go with a escort with your party of ships. It ports there is where the players can place there coins and loot in a bank. this is also where they can store different types of ships where they have payed for. ports have shipyards to repair your ship, trade in or to buy new ones. More then one ship can board a ship. loot is 50/50. so lets say two players are on the open seas in a Sloop they come across a Schooner if the can take her and loot her together they would each get 50/50 of what ever that ship has to take back to port to sell.
Board a ship- the battle would have a time to it. in that time your ship has 3 life scale of 100% to 0% one for your sails, crew members, and the ship. As you get hit with what kind of ammo that is being use on you your scale moves down what is getting damage if you got the crew to fixed it back up. a ship has two sides so only two ships can board a ship at a time. so lets say there 3 ships to 1 you can deside in your party who wants to board first. in Boarding a ship you would pan out in 3rd placer view to watch the hooks fly across to pull the ships together in for Boarding. Get ready to hit your pad as fast as you can to board or fight off the board of your ship. Train crew members will help your out come. But let's say your two of the friends are boarding a ship and one of them is losing the board fight so he break off the board party before he lose all hands to try to sail off hope the ship that you are trying to board has his cannons damaged on that side because he could still fire on you from that side. The 3rd ship could coming and fire a pepper ball to take out some of the crew and board the ship himself.
loot - when if you can board and take a players ship what can you get? it can be something i want like trade goods like spice, wood, food, or ammo, Black Powder, crew members that might want to join you. to resupply yourself at sea. Hope you have a happy crew. Like world of tanks there will be clan wars for ports to take over. i hope you have the ships to keep your port. Ports that clans have will get a % of what ever that port makes with trades and goods.
How would battles take place? there is a world map that you use to sail place to place. As your ship or ships that sail with you move across the waters you can come across other players that might be friendly or foe. if friendly you could keep sailing. foe you would go into battle. in battle all factors play a part. what the wind is doing. is there a storm is it raining that day, what ship are you in are you fast can you out run him or can you battle it out with him or them in the time given in a battle.
What if i did not want to battle him? you would pay a fee to the player for a pass bye. which might be worth it.
How would the battle ship class take place? Like wot a tier X will not battle a tier 3 because its out of its class. a sloop class would not battle a war ship. but lets say you have a party of 5 sloop and they are fully upgraded they could take on a bigger class ship.
How would you get your buddies to join your party? Lets say you at a port Called Port Royales in Jamaica and you are ask by the gov. (something you pick to do) to take some wine or take someone to the Port of Spain in Tobago. your in a Schooner Dont have the xp or coin to get better sails, Dont real want to go alone so you see online a player on your friends list thats playing the game. you ask him to join up with you so he does. he will start at the same port as you do to help get the goods from Port Royales to Port of Spain. if you can make it there you both get XP and Coins for the trip. the one hosting the party will get something extra for the trade made and the players that help escort will get something.
What's at the ports you sail into? Well when you make it into a port there wood be a loading screen where then the player you pick out would be at the docks. Your player then can go to where it need to go. Need to repair your ship you would walk or run over to the shipyard and go inside. Need some more crew members head over to the pub. Yeah your buds will be there to if they want to head over to the clothing store to find a new shirt to try on. I would not do any sword play in town that will get the troops in town to put you in jail or shoot you with there musket. There are places out side the town wall where you can dive into a cave if you can find it, to fight off robers or skulls.
Yes on land you would be free to roam the town.
This is just the basic thought of mine of a great game that could happen. Its been in my head. still adding to it as i fully think about it. thought i would share it with you
