- National Taxation
- National cities started to charge tax for all purchases or sales using money (inlcuding private trade and contracts
- This is required to support maintenance of reinforcement fleets.
- All uncapturable cities now provide amazing support for nationals of those cities if you were attacked in the vicinity of those ports by an enemy of your nation
- Clan taxation
- Clans controlling the port can lower taxes
- Clans controlling ports have to pay maintenance (which was previously paid by the governments)
- Clans can increase port maintenance to add the following improvements
- Open access to port to everyone (declaring it neutral)
- Reduce labor hour costs in the town
- Increase NPC goods supply in the town
- Benefits and numbers are for testing purposes and might change
- If maintenance cost is not paid the town will turn back to neutral as government officials will abandon the town if not paid.
- Hostility missions we brought back to give clear and easy way to get hostility to 100% without mindless searching for NPCs.
- Hostility missions are back, but only spawn in the vicinity of the town
- Approximate number of missions to raise hostility to 100% - 4.5 missions (each mission has 10 NPC enemies)
- PVP kills also count towards hostility.
- Port battle entry rights is no limited to captains who are members of clans to allow conquest players better control on who enters the port battles.
- Port battles are now set up by clans for the nation
- Clans and guilds can add other clans to friend lists (allies)
- Only players in clans on the friend lists (allies) can enter port battles set up by the clan
- Because hostility system and port control system have changed drastically - map was reset.
- Other fixes and changes and tunings
- More than 150+ bugs fixed.
