If our pirates are sophisticated enough to build flamegates, bunkers and parachutes, why not introduce a new pirate with a flamethrower? Maybe like the model below and we finally have another female pirate as powerful as Ching was.
(Before you get your hopes up, this hypothetical pirate possibly probably isn't a lady in a bikini. Hypothetically speaking. Theoretically. Allegedly.)
I see a new skill to be upgraded. Leaky barrel. Description. Sea water gets trapped in that barely of his that he can use to douse flames.
wouldnt this "flame" thrower be immune to Flame Gates. Like he/she is wearing a fire protective suit.
I will personally guarantee my purchase of 20,000 gems if you will introduce a flamethrower pirate in the likeness of my model. Anyone else wanna kick in some gems purchases to see this happen?
What about its not a human. Like some stone creature, that is immune to fire. Something like a fire breathing monster rock thing.
Or if not a flame thrower, she could toss jugs of flaming grog that burns 1-4-9 tiles for 1-4-9 seconds(1-4-9 would be the upgrade steps)
