Plunder & Skirmish

Plunder

When you plunder opponents on the Plunder tab, the fleets situated there are either in the port or travelling to the port with over 3 danger rating.

A quick summary of danger rating:

• Every attack you gain 6 danger rating/points
• Each defense you lose 18 danger rating/points

When you attack someone you can potentially gain gold coins, fame, cargo and a ship (cargo and ship both being dependent on if they can pay the ransom.) A typical example is found below; where the person can not afford the ransom of a Man-of-War so I get a ship, gold coins and fame!

You plundered the ship of your opponent: A Man-of-War is yours!

You earned an extra 59,500 thanks to Piracy!

Your fame increased by 33,154!

Fame Plunder Formula:

• (10% of total fame)/(Number of ships owned by loser/25) - Winner gets half of this.
• For pirates, as long as they own 200 or less ships, 200 ships are assumed.
• Maximum fame loss is 10% of losers total fame per attack.

Gold Coins Plunder Formula:

• The person that lost the battle will lose 1% to 5% of his treasury at hand, however max someone can lose is 250,000 per attack. Done via an RNG.
• The loser must also pay 10% of 'tail' ships ransom. If the ship is a Man-of-War, the person has to pay 135,000 gold coins.
