Battle of Sea

Hello Pirates,

We have observed some issues related to power balance in the game. Recently, we introduced the alliance system to support the weaker sides in response to these problems. Our plan was to allow at least 4-5 guild islands to remain under the control of the weaker side. However, due to issues within the alliances themselves, they have now chosen to split into multiple alliances and claim all the islands, preventing the weaker sides from gaining any islands. While we cannot directly distribute power, we are trying to encourage a more fun and competitive environment.

For example, when one side has 3-4 times more active players and controls all the islands compared to the other side, the weaker side has no chance of competing in the game. Unfortunately, because players have not been able to resolve the power balance problem, as game management, we are forced to take action. If these problems are not resolved, the game will no longer be enjoyable for either side; the stronger side will have no opportunity for real battle other than farming on their own.

In addition, in the past, guilds had to donate gold to the island case to own guild islands, but now there is a guild case system. Moreover, thanks to evolving game systems, owning guild islands and equipping them with Tower 3 is now much easier and less valuable compared to the past. As a result, destroying or reequipping a guild island has lost its significance, leading to an endless cycle of "destroy islands and recapture them."

To prevent this, we will make it a bit more difficult to own and hold onto guild islands.

For all these reasons, we will make the following changes to improve the balance between weaker and stronger sides:

1- Guild islands in maps 12 and 13 will be completely removed. During the update, guilds that own islands on these maps will refund "double the cost of building 12 towers" in their guild case.
2- Tower construction costs will be doubled. Accordingly, the cost of Tower 3 will be revised from 250k to 500k.
3- Due to the increasing power of player ships over time and the static guild island features, island towers will now deal 50% more damage. (This change will only be made for GL1, it will not change in GL2 for now)

These changes are aimed at making the game more enjoyable, fun, and competitive. Therefore, from a game perspective, we would like all players to support these changes.

Have fun!
