Guilds recruiting - Offer inceptives to guilds

[Loki]

I agree with Danik on this especially point 1, whilst I think I run a fair guild and would not abuse it, it would be better with at least the top 2 ranks having this ability.

[Francois le Clerc]

yeah loki but what if the master and the 2 highest person with power exceeded 30days maybe the 3,4 person i rank could do that if the others are also inactives

point 4 : This does hold some interesting potential : it would allow guilds to focus on whichever aspect of the game they prefer : i.e. a trading guild might go for a wonder called 'Adam Smiths Diary' which would deliver an appreciable boost to trade and profits : A more war-like guild might prefer 'Gunpowder Mill' which delivers a better grade of gunpowder thus boosting fire-power for members ships. Whatever, the path should be long and expensive but giving a notable reward when achieved.

Just to expand on this. Perhaps barring guilds from having more than one wonder could encourage specialization among guilds. A guild that wants to raid would build a wonder boosting their income from raiding but could not build one that boosts trading income.

You could even have a wonder for guilds that that follow a more generalised approach, giving them some benefits but not as strong as the specialised guilds would have.

Effectively this means that guilds would have to choose a specific path and remain committed to it.

+1 I like those ideas Red

[Diplomatist]

Yes, I think Red has a point too. The Wonders could make things quite interesting...

-1 to these specialization. It just makes the game restricted and not flexible. And also with this type of specialization, the guild that first makes these specializations get the max profit. Then its will be very very hard for new upstarting guilds. New upstarts make the game more interesting. Also, it is known that the pirate path is the hardest path. So if we are restricted to get bonuses that are only pirate based then it will become even more hard. My suggestion is that there should be something upgradable. So that you can unlock which ever bonus you want and not get restricted to it. And every upgrade increases the cost of the next upgrade - Similar to officers.
