I had a close look at the Mare Nostrum campaign and I must say .. its a brilliant campaign and very well done, but for a warship sim. There is almost no merchant traffic in the western and middle Mediterranean, no wonder that all we get is only capitals ships all over. And no wonder that the only 1 time I played this campaign, I had encountered absolutely not a single merchant on route to Malta, but warships. Its just crazy.
Im also pretty upset about the lack on information about the Mediterranean convoys. There is almost no description about them, like how many ships, escorts etc. Only their movement and date of departure. Mediterranean Sea was actually huge battlefield, but for the surface fleet.
So what I will do is to add some random merchant traffic and increase their spawn rate, mostly on the Gibraltar-Malta route and some on the Gibraltar - Alexandria route. I will change the hunt for capital ship objectives into patrol objectives and also add maybe some new ones. This should make this campaign a bit more fun to play as you will have plenty of opportunities to sink capital ships while waiting and hunting merchants nor raiding ports. There are also a lot of active enemy subs ...
