What would make you excited to see in the game?

[Captain Jack]

I have read all replies, here are some replies in particular:

I would like to see option to exile inactives from country

This is already possible. You need to be a Duke or Higher -> Go to parliament -> Deportation Office

I would like to see more players in the game. Maybe running some small ads for the game.....

We already run ads, on a monthly basis. At times, we also run big scale campaigns. Generally speaking, ads do not work as good as they used due to the current genre not being as popular as before. The best way to get new players is through your existing ones who bring their friends.

.... hope someday to see Fleet vs. Port battles and all the things associated including population and crew casualties, picket lines and blockades....

This is definite to happen. Such will become however at one step at a time. Fishing for example, is a step towards this direction.

...And the new section in Forum (HoF), where the results of the battles could be posted and everyone could comments.....

You should not stop yourself from doing so already. There is a whole thread about it: viewforum.php?f=9
Futurely, where battles will have the added strategy that they currently require, battles will become more interesting to post and discuss.

Rasec87, regarding crew ideas we are favourable. They must be done in a way to ensure that gameplay does not become repetitive and boring. Luckily, we have that Hire Crew at all ships button that makes things easier. On our table for the forthcoming ship spec feature, we have crew-based abilities.

Yosarian, first, welcome to the forums. Your idea is nice and is along the lines of our perspective for the game. Perhaps we could better add such as technologies in the Academy which is a forthcoming feature of the near future.

Kk I learned about it now but again my nation has bigger number than it can be put on 1 page when I tryed to exile other ones and need next page it appears that nation doesn't exist I assume this is not topic for that but I'll bring up just in case.

Thanks for all the work you do

What about taxation on trade at ports? Nations being able to keep another nation from trading at there port through embargoes or heavy tariffs would be interesting also

[Barnabas Sackett]

More options\abilities\bonuses \interactions etc between nation and ports

[Barnabas Sackett]

Basically, letting ports have a bigger part in the game, make port control more essential

strong holds attach-ability (strong holds by nations, with loot)

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but a mobile app would make me extremely happy.

A mobile app might be expensive / time consuming for you guys, so even a mobile optimization of the homepage would be a huge step forward! I often check the game on my phone, but the size of everything is made to work on a big screen. If the interface would to be optimized for phones and the chart re-worked, it would greatly increase how smooth the game feels on mobile platforms.

I think that a lot of players are checking their game very often. This is a game that rewards strategy, not time spend, but being able to check in on your fleets regularly is still important.

Start with mobile optimization, then move to an app. An app would also expose the game in the app stores and draw more players.

Well... I would like to see a newspapper that will keep publishing no matter what. Now that Roberts is out, i have nothing to read... Maybe people would be more intrested on this job if the ADMIN would pay their salaries. What if the admin create the position of an officer, that stories will be send to him and if the story is published they will get a decent amount of 1-2 M payment???!!! That might be exchiting and make ppl willing to keep up with news. A payment from admin for those, who real spend time for news. Maybe a more developed and well thought idea could work? dunno but i would like to see admin giving work to ppl. a decent amount of money could make them work for it. And we????? Well, we will have our daily newspapper!
