Enemy of the Crown

[Captain Jack]

Final form changes (check first post for complete details):
-The king can name anyone
-Only those of same nationality will be valid

Implemented:
-Ability to create/manage the Enemy of the Crown list
-In-game Help File

To-do:
-Public List of valid Enemies of the Crown at each nation (at their public page)
-Feature Activation (Honor System needs to be implemented first)

Why does enemy of the crown have to be of the same nationality?

Why does enemy of the crown have to be of the same nationality?

To diversify from LoM targets which will ultimately allow greater flexibility.

To explain it better, EoC at its first step prevents hostility gain on hit. Which makes sense as hostility is only added if this player is a member of your country. Additionally, you give Honor points on hit for such enemies.

If this member is a member of another country, hostility is not added anyway, so there is nothing to prevent. If you want to add honor points for such a target, you should better use a Letter of the Marque (LoM) which also makes more sense.

It's more work for us but it makes more sense (requires less explanations) and it will provide more options later. Like the proposed EoC buff on Blockades. EoC will be very useful during civil wars too.

We are done with the preliminary system by finishing the last part: the public list will now show (where there is one) at the council of nations page.

Once Honor system is up and running, we will activate this.

Geez, the Chamberlain has a lot of pull! Can he/she be bribed/her family held to ransom/she is enamoured with the pirate likes of Shadowood ?

Too late mate. She already is.

Two more details have been included at the suggestion (they have been included at the first post):
-Target is valid when is active and has spent at least 3,000 turns.

For the active part, we are thinking to use last 10 days activity.

Surely this can just be a way for someone to check if a person is active for a raid on there ships?

Which is fine however it makes the game easier...

This is a concern. Taking in mind that you will also need to attack (and see if you get the Honor points) to verify, I think that this can work. We could push the limit further to 14 days or use something else that will not necessarily mean that you are away (ie number of turns used in last 14 days must be 0).

If a player is deemed an EotC by the King while they are active, will the EotC automatically drop on day 10/14 if they fail to log in ?
Other words, can an EotC be used as a barometer to signal inactivity ?
