[Implemented] Discussions at national level

[JackShaftoe]

Jack, this sounds like it will work very well. We will all look forward to it!

thank u captain looking forward for the discussion of the nation

[Captain Jack]

Initial version will be as follows:
-Discussion will be available through country page
-Latest discussion topic(s) (if any) will also be mentioned in tavern page (at the top of it)
-Every poster will be able to define a minimum country title requirement with max being Dukes (Kings will read everything). The max available for each poster cannot be higher than their own title (ie a Citizen may not open a topic that will be not available to Barons)
-A report button will be included so players will be able to report offensive language/etc as there will be no mods.

Specific players exclusion idea is not as good after all. We do think that another way is needed to further specialize nation discussion access.
Perhaps it will have to be related to how player controlled deportation will work. As this involved nation control feature, it should wait till then but if you got ideas about it, please share right away.

I am pleased to announce that the development of this feature already makes it easier for nation control implementations as we have created part of the basis that the nation control features will require. So there is a good chance that we will gradually split needed nation control features into separate small updates. This can help in faster implementation of important updates as the general priority of the nation control feature is currently behind (1)voodoo patch, (2)New players tutorials, (3) Hideout, (4)Ship Specialization

All sounds good Jack!

[Captain Jack]

The feature has been implemented.

It is far larger than anticipated as it has dependencies on dozens of game files that have been updated. For this reason, please report immediately in the bugs thread any issues that you may spot.
As I said in my previous post, this will allow us to add nation updates easier in the future as we have part of the basic structure ready, thanks to this feature.

Any new ideas in the discussions should be created in their own topic in suggestion forum, taking in mind on what is available now. Only post here feedback from now on and for the next few days.

thank u captain jack can make a shout box for it like the guild discussion one ( saying new nation discussion )

[Captain Jack]

Sure, but allow us some time, we want to do other things first.

[Mohammed]

ok no problem
and can u give us the ability to join discussion with other nations (example: wales and Somalia have joint discussions both nations see that discussion ) like an alliance discussion or some topics can be seen by both nations

[Captain Jack]

No way; for this, use Union of Honor.
