Clan anchor
this version of a claiming flag is used to “capture” part of the sea. It will give you an area of the sea that scales on your infamy level. An anchor is obtainable from Thorin for 2,500 galleons.
Pier building system
On claimed parts of the sea, you can place two types of flooring: rock flooring with a wood top and a stone pillar going down to the ocean floor, and wood flooring with thin wooden pillars at the corners.
Special items you can only place on piers include:
- Fishing station (works like crew fishing, you can collect fish by interacting with a fish box next to the station, these do not fish out treasure)
- Harpoons and other ship attachments of that sort (works as it does on a ship)
- Fish tank (also works as it does on brigs)
- Lookout (has two variants: tower and ground, they both have a spyglass that lets you see further placed on it)
- Storage container (keeps cargo and sealed chests at the ready for delivery or use)
More Details
- if you have territory on in the map UI, your clan logo will show at the center of your pier but not the extra circle
- on bounty boards, if you look at someone’s position while they are on their pier, it will say “on (clan name placeholder)'s pier” instead of “sailing in the bronze sea”
- the rest of the system works like normal clan islands do and you can build anything you can on clan islands except farms (if they add those, I don’t know)
Why add?
I think that with the Empires update, I wanted to make my own version of Sailor’s lodge or whatnot, and I also thought other people might want to make above-water structures. These could serve as a nice spawn point for dark sea expeditions, a hangout for fellow clan members, and a good area for fish farming or sea monster hunting.
