Thread: privateering is useless

    Default privateering is useless

    why wasn't this tech modified for this game? you can't plunder (except historicals) so there is very little point in having this in its current form.

    very true it should allow u to plunder actual resources within the city ur attacking/colonizing. 10% of resources plundered at lvl 10 privateering. not a single person uses warehouses in age2.

    The tech wasn't modified because they are working on a plunder option for Age II.

    Basically they opened Age II before it was finished. My guess is they saw some trend in their business models and had to do something fast. Now they are working on finishing the Age II system.

    If you want to see some of the ideas that POSSIBLY could be comming related to Pillaging/conquers, go to the "On-Topic - Moderated Feedback Forum". Look at the topic "PROPOSED GAME CHANGES: Requesting player feedback"

    The actual update is however secret, as well as the time frame when it may come out.

    Y'all just really don't understand Age II at all. Age II is all about historics. Good players will end up with 4-5 lvl-12s and at least 1-2 lvl-14s. Then they will have a couple battle cities to tele around and attack and pillage other good players historics. Most of the Evony community was too quick to conclude that Age II was not as good as Age I. It is different, and the middle game (when good players start taking historics) is a lot of fun and similar to Age I.

    Privateering was useless in Age 1, too. No player with half a brain had more than a single warehouse, anyway.

    Level 10 privateering does contribute to achievements for level 10 techs completed, so you can enjoy another 5% gold income. Which might be handy to pay heroes if you are away from the game for a while. Other than that it does buff up some prestige. And and lastly when you say all your techs are maxed, you can actually be correct.

    You also get experience for your mayor hero. But, the actual effect of the technology (reduce the enemy's warehouse protection) is still useless.

    I still research it to level 10 for the XP and prestige. I just research it when EVERYTHING ELSE is done being researched.

    I would add that speech texts are pretty useless too. Who cares if you have 20% loyalty or 2% loyalty or 100% loyalty, the city can't be taken so it is just a waste of a wheel space.
