And other examples involve, you know, real Privateers, who would attack behind enemy lines, the real Fortunatus Wright capturing French ships in the Middle East. You know, not the English Channel.
The Ukraine =/= France. My point stands. I WIN! :yahoo:
No seriously, so in the 17th and 18th centuries privateers worked the Middle East, but by your reasoning they also sailed up the Seine and parked themselves at the Parisian gates (does Paris have gates?)
I get that game mechanics permit you to do it, but that doesn't make it particularly RP, and really, I don't see what you get out of it. All you end up with are pissed off traders who spam the forums:)
