This is a voodoo which increases the profits of merchantman while fishing. The name's given , whaling ship, as there's 25% chance to generate more profits, which can be happened when you spot a whale and sell it

Turns required- 6 turns

Can be stacked only twice a row

Time - 76 hrs

Effect:- All Merchantman, Large Merchantman, Trade Galleons, Galleons, Flag Galleons, and Large Fluyt, generate 4% more profit ( 10% chance to generate 6% more)while gone on fishing.

ratio - 1:2 this means lets 100 person bought a voodoo pack, out of them , 50 person will get this card

Fixed it , now it's an common card

+1

+1
but 14 turns seems to high for 25% profit,and the rarity of the card does not make it special.
a lot of player earn in millions, so a for a day that is a really small profit (as u din't mention how much profit)
if these things consider then a
+1
else -1

4% additional profit is not much for a rare card considering how fishing is calculated.

Code: Select all

Fishing Formula (Per Hour): (Ship Crew / 5) + (Cargo Capacity / 5) - Max Cannons

Here are some statistics:

If I am not wrong, this is not the first voodoo suggestion that gives profit for fishing. Is it?

East India Company gives you a +1 gc for every resource you sell. Costs less turns and gives 9-14% boost in profits depending on the port.

+1 It would be a 1st to have a voodoo that effects the fishing outcome.

Yep, for this reason, I have made its duration 76 hrs, seeing your comment. East India Company last 24 hours , and this lasts 76 hrs

+1 for idea. i would like to see some fishing profit boosts. recently fishing received a bug fix which made fishing even less popular.

but i think this voodoo suggestion need a bit buff.

my suggestion:
Turns required 8 turns
Duration 48 hours
2 Stacks
each stack will increase fishing profit 30% total of 60%.
also for each stack 20% chance double the additional profit amount(120% instead of 60% boost) total of 40% chance.

other way stocking fish in warehouse and using potato party to deceive vegans will be more profitable. fishing shouldnt be effected by potato party. make whaling ship to fishing own unique voodoo card.

I agree fishing could use a little polishing again. They went from being the best deal earning serious money to being a a little too much the other way. I think fishing and trade of food should be comparable income as they share similar hazards.

I would like admins to just have a look again and confirm the numbers does fit in with their overall plans of usage.
In my personal instance, I have found fishing is not to my benefit.
Perhaps if I were set up in Akro where food is a long haul would fishing be more attractive.

Also if a port population was dependent on the amount of food available,would fishing become more attractive to individual ports.
