These orders will be deliverable by any manager at your shoppe from the Manage Orders interface. On doubloon ocean, any doubloon delivery fee will still need to be paid by the delivering pirate.
- Managers must now pay full price even at their own shoppe - they should generally use the Order for yer Shoppe mechanism to pay straight out of the shoppe coffers.
- New fighting dummies (Swordfighting & Rumble versions) - you can associate these with a particular pirate and then fight against a dummy dressed and armed like yer hearty.
