Make Midway Great Again!

[Shadowood]

The US can have it back whenever the Flagship is released and Shadow turns Pirate again.

True story!

Well I guess it might turn pirate port, perhaps....

Maybe the government of USA has been too generous to it's inhabitants. I do question its low influence AND low treasury floor. 50M potential influence in the National treasury split between 2 ports ?
USA should be able to wrest back control unless Shadowood gets some assistance but is it the wisest move ?

Can USA support 2 ports if they take it back ?
The numbers available does not lend credence to it being in USA's best interest.

A point I made previously, internally. The USA has the means to take the port back, but as I stated (in so many words) the USA player base is mostly smaller merchants.

[Shadowood]

Please, I do not want to cast more voodoo on USA.

USA lowered me again, to which I followed suit. I DO NOT want USA to lose further influence.

Are you suggesting that USA take their current available treasury and invest it strengthening only Caspian and abandon Goroum?

[Stan Rogers]

I am only looking from an outsiders position and obviously am not privy to USA council resources.
My honest advice would be to determine Midway's strength over the next couple days to gauge their support and activity.
In theory, Lord Av should be able to lay down more gold than the USA treasury has on hand and single handily regain the port but is he/USA prepared to live with a constant drain on their influence until Midway runs out of dough ?
How quickly will that happen ? Does Shadow have potential former Midwayians that will join his cause ?

Tough questions only time will tell

[Shadowood]

Very good questions and points!

As you stated. Only time will tell.

Why would former Midwayians follow or help shadow? They definitely will go with Pheonix and help ST Nevis grow.

They have 5 ports in hand. Why would they loose them for one port which we dont know will sustain or not or go pirate port soon or US take it back.

A few reasons really. For starters maybe they are bored and would like to join in a conflict. Maybe they have a grudge against a few US players and would like to help steal a port from them. Or just to help create another flag on the map. Or would like to see midway rise again. Not every decision is based solely on profit and safety. At the moment shadow seems to be alone, but who knows if others will join him, I definitely think its possible.

I am not talking about profits .

I say who many times the formers would change FLags , first Midways,then egypt and then ST Nevis.

Now again Midways. I am not sure .

Plus if the starters will start with this port capturing thing that would be a very bad start for them

Lets see what comes next
