If target player have less than 50 ships, he loses 100k everyday.
Target player must have used 1000 turns.

I made this suggestion after realising the fact that merchant like me don't have the fire power to stop pirates. I mean well big pirates with expensive ships maybe but there is this few pirates that have very little to lose.

I know that band of thief voodoo is coming but i dont feel like its enough. When ever a voodoo that comes out that do hurt pirates, it also hurts merchants, what i am saying is that there is not enough voodoo that hurts only pirates. There is a lot of times where i would defend meself with voodoo and after the duration is over i get hit. It means that if i keep defending and cant really hirt them, its more or less juat sitting duck.

I think we need cards opposite of this one ones that harm people with lots of ships why would one need a catd to attack small people

In regards to Guluere saying some pirates make more than merchants daily, that is completely false. Phoenix just yesterday, as seen by the Demographics of Daily Profit, made 11M with just two fleets.

At least someone has sense around here. Also,how many pirates(in real life) do you know who had alot of ships?

Old dogs ain't the only people playing this game.

Hoe about a card that worjs like this one but if one has less than half the ships you have it backfires on you

And also, maybe you didn't read the reason.

Your reply didn't make any sense, its like saying that a bear is weaker then a human because he is not intelligent.

Well my reply DID make sense, you just don't have the brain juices rolling to understand what I meant. The merchant enjoys a steadier, and plentiful, supply of coin over a pirate, which can be used to buy voodoo/protections, right? You are whining about not being able to harm some pirates, while not being able to defend yourself. No defense is 100%. You chose to be a merchant, others chose to be pirates. You're complaining about a pirate keeping their ship numbers low- obviously you do not know why this is if you are complaining about it because it is the essence of minimizing losses as ANY play style.

If you want a real world example like your "human:bear analogy", a big trucking company has more trucks than a company open for 1 year. By being more established and wealthier, they have more trucks so they run more risks of having to pay for accidents and what-not. The big company=merchants, while the small company=pirates. However, in this game, the small company's trucks plunder the big company's.

Ok,goes to show again. One pirate makes more than a couple traders who have no experience and they complain about pirates making too much. Why don't you stop carrying so much gold for us to get?

Also,Guluere if the bear is you then sure.

And I agree with Delrio, a day-old merchant won't make as much as a pirate hitting a gold-bar fleet. That much is given, but I guess anything goes in Guluere's scenarios...

EDIT: Guluere, you beg for suggestions and comments, through constant bumping and the rest of the antics you do love doing. However, when somebody presents an opinion opposite to yours you wage a crusade and automatically negate anything that somebody else says, just as you did with McGowen. "Perhaps you didn't read the reason." Well, perhaps he did and doesn't agree with it, hm?
