Battle of Sea
Online Pirate and Sea War Game

Hello Dear BOS Pirates,

 

As you know, we often introduce new features to our game, and sometimes we initiate votes. Once again, we have decided to conduct one of these votes, and the votes you cast in these polls help us gather ideas.

 

As you know, our game has a friend-enemy system for guilds, but this system doesn't have a significant impact on guilds. In addition to this system, we have started considering an alliance system. Thanks to this system, a guild without an island will be able to benefit from a certain amount of buffs of friendly islands, while at the same time it will be ensured that a alliance does not capture all the islands and the weaker side will have the islands.

 

We frequently observe power shifting in the game on both servers, where the numerically stronger side consistently applies overwhelming force against the weaker side. We are not referring to the current situation with this power balance, but since 2018, power has changed hands almost every month, and similarly, friendly guilds have switched sides with enemy guilds. As we mentioned, today's strong guild could become tomorrow's weak guild, and in our observations on both servers, the stronger side often seizes all the islands in the game, making it difficult for weaker guilds to even doing daily mission in the game. This undermines the motivation of the weaker side and drives them away from the game.

 

Let's not forget, equal and balanced competition always leads to more enjoyable battles.

 

To address this issue, we aim to balance power with the alliance system and provide extra advantages through alliance guilds. For example, guilds can form alliances and/or join existing alliances. Through the islands owned by these alliances, guilds without islands can benefit from extra PVE damage, fast repairing, or additional rewards. Thus, there will be no need for all guilds to capture all the islands. Additionally, after a certain number of islands captured within an alliance, the tower costs for capturing new islands will double (the costs of old islands within the limit will not increase), so an alliance won't aim to capture all islands. In this way, enemy islands can be shot down and left empty whenever desired. The weaker side can capture vacant islands, and other guilds within the weaker alliance can benefit from buffs such as extra damage through these islands. Also, to retain these islands, members of other alliances may exert more effort. This would create a more competitive gaming environment and give meaning to alliances.

 

The values and features we have mentioned above are purely for illustrative purposes. When participating in this vote, remember that if your guild is strong today, it may be weak tomorrow. Also, as mentioned above, the closer the balance, the more enjoyable the battles will be.
