I don't know if anyone post this before hand.
This is how it works, gunpowder is a new material in the game, and we will need new ports for this to work. Gunpowder is used when ever someone attacks someone else in that port(If you attack someone in a gunpowder port it will auto buy the gunpowder to attack), that port will need to have gunpowder stored in the warehouse to be able to attack someone in that port.
This will require pirates to transport the material to the target port for them to be able to attack the person in the port, this will create players/pirates to plan their attacks. And not just attack when ever they want.
Traders will be a bit more safer, and it will be more harder for pirates. And not just cast hostile natives and poof he can attack.
I was thinking that it would cost between 4 to 6 around that, per crate.
It will be a lot to make for the dev, but i think this will change a lot of things(new port and new material).
