Suggestions for the future?

Some ideas so far-

Encounters

• Increase the variety of encounters, e.g.

• Pirates can intercept the player ship while travelling

• Storms that can damage the ship

Story, Quests & Characters

• Create a Story Mode which drives the player through several steps

• Different quest types, e.g. Collection, Bounty Hunting

• Work on social immersion, giving the crew their own character, motivation & social relationships

• Increasing the kinds of activities crew conduct, making relaxing and working seem more natural

World events & Mutators

• World-size events that occur randomly or as an option on a new game, e.g.

• Drought – no water resource islands

• Severe weather – blocks tiles and creates storms

• Region prosperity/celebration – boosts economy, mining yields etc…

• War / blockades- increased military presence, blocks tiles

• Civil changes/rebellions – affects economy

• Plagues – illness among crew

Factions

• Introduce custom factions with their own attributes

• Affects seller costs & stock

• Unique quests & rewards based on faction

• Island relationships, e.g. farms provide food to villages, influences economy

• Trade routes that create merchant vessels on relevant tiles

• Royal hierarchies

Objectives & Achievements

• Turn the objectives into Steam achievements

• More small scale objectives

• More detailed objective rewards

Combat & Gear

• Synergy between weapons and armour

• Improve tactics, e.g. taking cover behind obstacles

• Bosses

World

• New islands, e.g. Towns, shipwrecks

• Village names

• More detailed island purchasing and management, e.g. resource production
