Q: It has been mentioned that WoP will feature more than just 'Pirates'-aspects. How will the city building&management work? What can 'city owners' do in WoP?

HW: To own a city a player has to be appointed to governor by his nation.Then he should manage the resources of the city wisely to keep the city growing. For this he can decide what goods the city should cultivate (food, sugar, tabac ...) or mine (coal, iron ...) if possible. A greater city has higher needs than a small one. The player can also place and upgrade some buildings like forts to defend the city and factories which will produce goods from cultivated or mined raw materials. Last but not least the governor can collect taxes.
