This will improve the plunder experience for all sort of players.

Practically, these changes mean:
-Less losses for defenders
-More winnings for attackers

We achieved this by sharing the plunder of a ship's lost level with the winners.

You earned an extra 15,750 after utilizing the scraps that an enemy ship left behind!

I believe this is the lost level gain. Seems to be working.
I like the changes.

Question about the lost level gain. Is it designed to work when a ship is sunk?
I received this message

 You plundered 73,531 !

You earned an extra 70,000 thanks to Piracy!

Your fame increased by 757!
Cutter has joined the sea bottom during the battle. You looted all its cargo.

So far I have only seen it work one time.
Not sure if it stopped working.
Perhaps I have just not been successful in lowering the levels on ships lately.

It works when lowering the levels of ships and still does for me. When a ship is sunk however is where it seems to draw the line.

Make sense that you can't gain from a ship you sink. The ship is at the bottom, and since you aren't a salvage team you won't recover anything. Although this does give me an idea for a game feature and tech.

Indeed, your suspicions are true. When the ship is level 1, it joins the sea bottom. No level is lost, therefore nothing for you there.

Which brings in a idea, Salvaging!

The dead people from the Shipwrecks can be sold for food!

The timber from the ships, can be sold at Ports as wet timber ( Half price of its current price!)

Selling drowned sailors as food and rotten wood as timber...

I wish I was the one who thought of that great idea!
