Any news on the French Intervention?
The Privateers are weaker than Frigates, but appear to be modeled OK.
Theory:
- Privateers are usually a single, brig, element [very weak]
- There are a lot of Merchants, so damage may not be readily visible {I've looked, and there is a very small damage being done}
Historically, the privateers were 'irritants', not truly devastating. The true physical damage done was minimal [psychological damage is another story].
Game-wise, IMHO, the ability to truly disrupt British economy should be minimal [as reflected in EP gained by merchants]
Merchants [and Transports, Bateuax] hae 0 offensive firepower, so cannot do damage.
Having said all this, of course we want it to be FUN, so another look is warranted
FE is being looked at. Please be patient
