1 ) Start with a good voodoo supply that could instantly help you out in the start of the game
Such as:
5 buried treasure
10 iron golams
3 booty master to cast on a player of your choice ( maybe not ) Or maybe have a NPC player up that always has a good 10 million and only available for players that have been playing for 30 days?...
2 ) Build more ships ~ There is only 15 ships to choose from when in fact there was a lot more : Maybe make some historic ships such as HMS victory , or black pearl for pirates of the Caribbean...
3) Get on with skirmish....
Or maybe make battles more animated? Able to control your ships in battle : More attributes stacked correctly , more power of shots ect , it would really make the game more " Entertaining " to some that have been in pirates of the Caribbean isles of war... Maybe also choosing the type of cannon? Like light cannon costs 500 per one? Medium cannon 1000? and heavy 5000 per one?... Cannon slows down ship maybe?...
