Plunder Horizon goes into beta with lots of features now implemented:

- Nations will now send pirate hunters after you if anger them. They are marked with crossed swords on the sailing map. Stay away!

- In boarding combat you now need to keep grappling hooks on as a small mini game. Otherwise your crew suffer a penalty. And the ship may escape if all 3 hooks are off. In land melee combat you instead have swords, representing your fighting morale.

- You gain more from selling goods that are in demand in a port now.

- Added some prestige 4 ships (light galleon, frigate and trade galleon)

- Plenty of new ports! The caribbean is now full, and we also welcome the Dutch to the board :P

- All ships now have wake on the sailing map, not only your own ship

- Port economy! Ports will gain and loose wealth status when raided, visited by traders and provision ships or when you sink their ships. Wealthy ports have stronger defences but are more lucrative to raid. Poor ports have more men for you to recruit.

- Port raiding! Both the enemy and yourself can now raid ports. You must first be hostile to do so. You can steal goods, gold and also appoint new a governor from another nation to switch the port alliance to your liking. This is also a good way to gain favor and rank with a nation (and loose standing with the original owner of the port of course!)

Happy lootin, mateys!
