Thank you Kanube, what you wrote is interesting. What I can understand are the reasons of a war. What is difficult to figure out for me is how somebody is supposed to win. Forgive me, I wasn’t here during the great wars of the past, be patient with me. Wars are a fun idea and most people like this concept. But when somebody declares it, is he thinking: “Let’s see what happens.”, is he grabbing a sword and “hunting” the enemies who peek out of their houses? Is he thinking: “We cannot lose because our base is made out of safe materials and our chests are locked.”?

Practically. Is the war limited to hunts or does it involve some sort of conquering, fort assaults?
You, Kanube, talked about strategy. What kind of strategy could there be? Attacking the same houses in the same moment? Dividing people in those who gather materials for armor for the front and those who fight? What is the role of cannons and ships? How can a coalition win against the other if both have indestructible fortresses? How can somebody expand his own territory? Is it a challenge about who loses most items in the woods, while hunting each other?

Edit: maybe I should rename this post in “How does conquering works?”. I am not interested in the diplomatic aspect of the war nor in individual sieges, but instead in the whole process of coordinated battles.

I understand the secret. I am happy to know there is creativity involved. The crew history wiki pages always describe wars with great assaults, fleets advancing, cannnons firing, castles falling. I imagined it was a little too poetic and ideal, but the difference I found between those stories and the server reality pushed me to flow my doubts in a post here. I am young in the server and only faced individual robbers. I am more reassured know, and more confident that I could see some spectacular actions in the future.

I don’t have any more questions and, unless somebody has something to add, I would say this thread can be closed, thank you for the responses.
