Popular Post Isjaki Posted September 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2020 Currently, bounties are not delivered if the nation that completes a bounty is under blockade. This effectively nullifies the usefulness of bounty as a mechanic, since people who are likely to bounty hunt (raiders) often find themselves under blockade. Thus, I propose that nations completing bounties should get the money anyway (regardless of whether they are under blockade or not). 22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sir Scarfalot Posted September 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2020 Well, the reason that blockades block bounties was implemented because otherwise bounties become a way to circumvent blockades, at least in terms of cash. You're 100% right though: fulfilling the bounty contract and then just being denied the money entirely is stupid and does indeed make bounties nigh uncollectable outside of a major, and expensive, war scenario. Thus, to address both of these things at once, bounties should really be put into a phantom escrow account that automatically deposits all bounty earnings into the bounty hunters' nation as soon as they're out of blockade.

Jangles Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'd do bounties if they got put into a limbo that was delivered once blockade was over. There's no sense collecting a bounty as a raider as I'm always under blockade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win/win Bounties only get delivered if you declared war prior to bounties being placed. I feel like this nullifies most situations in itself where abuse would occur. Additionally, if you need to circumvent a blockade then you probably don't have the resources to fight an additional nation and would only be further worsening your overall situation regardless of cash gained from a bounty. This weak "what if" reasoning doesn't justify effectively breaking the bounty system for raiders - the primary pursuers of bounties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukunaka Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Now that organizing wars to clear bounties is officially against the rules, I dont think this mechanic makes sense anymore. Quote Join The Empire of the Moonlit Sakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
