Century Voyage
 

Does anybody know much about this game or have any experience with it yet? I looked around their site but couldn't really get a good feel for what the game entails.

I did run across one good post in their forums with some screenshots (since their main site is almost devoid of pics).

Nope i dont know anything about it, havent had time to poke around either.

I'm playing it, it is very cool multi-player and free....My son and I play on the magellean server....I go By "CD" on there with the ship name Bloody_Mary. ;)....very cool game...about a 1.3GB download but a cool way to pass some time....I got that game Oblivion for Christmas and I am playing this.. lol. :up: Thums up for free...I have that program fraps and I will make a movie shortly and post a link in this thread so peeps can see some in game action.

Heres a intro movie I made for this game... I am really liking it.

enjoy...

I downloaded it while at work today. Gettin' ready to give it a shot. :rock:

First impressions..

It's an obvious "port" from an oriental setting. The Engrish is a bit tough to wade through and when you dock at a European city, you get a splash screen that may as well be Hong Kong.

I was hesitant in continuing for the first hour or so when I was getting to know the lay of the land. However, two things changed my mind a bit.

First was when I set sail into the Med and saw all the ships moving about. I had upgraded to a warship, loaded it with cannon, basic cannonballs, and a few extra sailors. The first little 2-mast smuggler I went after and mowed through with my 4 master had a figurehead (ship add-on... think "magic armor" equivalent to fantasy based MMOs) and other goodies. It also seems like this could be a pirating pvp heaven considering the amount of people playing. From what I understand, attacking a player vessel will flag you for pvp and you will be attacked by guards. To remedy this, all you must do is sit still for 3 minutes (somewhere) and if you're not attacked, you drop your pvp flag. Maybe easier said than done but it is interesting that it makes it possible to burn it off fairly quickly if you're not jumped.

I can't say the tactical battles are hugely involved, but at least it has some of the basic staples for the era. I've not experienced a multi-ship battle, and if it's possible, I'd imagine it would be immense fun.

Secondly, it's free. What more can I say? I can put up with the 'Engrish' & rough edges since it's fun (if you like the tall ships era :smug:) and it costs you absolutely nothing.

Overall, I'd say give it a shot if you can readily download the 1.12GB zip file (Gamershell, I love you) and spend a couple hours finding your course. What do you have to lose?

Note: I joined the Magellan server as did Iceman. I have no idea how to send a private message to someone unless they're in sight, at least until I plaster their message boards with questions.

My first character (of a possible two it seems) is named 'EngrishBob'. :lol:

long time no post but ive been a feverent player of CV for a couple weeks, its a great game, a bit of healty grinding, and well Im in literly the best guild on Collumbus :) 5 levels of Military equipment till my level 3 bs

I have been playing this for two days now. I have been having a blast. It is amazing this game is free. Although there are certainly some rough edges (as already mentioned) I think the fun out weighs the bad easily.

Need a precious cargo delivered? At your service! (You might be able to tell that I am a merchant. :))

I'll give this a try soon.

What server are you guys on and which one is the most populated?

Thanks,

I'm on Magellan Server and my son...Koel was on there too havent seen him in a while...I just got a lvl 4 Attack Ship...cool :)..Yes it's FREE!!!!

Ya know what, I should really check my posts more often! I had posted this topic and didn't see anyone respond for a few days and completely forgot about the game between Christmas holidays and everything! :doh:

Thanks Iceman for the video; that really helped get a bit of an idea of what the game looks like. I think I'm going to have to try this one out when I get some time.
:arrgh!:

Yea im addicted to it now..I am up to a lvl 4 battleship now on half way to a 5...I will make another movie now..now that I can engage bigger ships...even if they kill me :)

we need 5 at minamium to make a guild to make use of chat features etc...right now it is just me and my son on magellen server and Koel was on there but havent seen him on in a while...

I've jumped back in a couple times and didn't see you Iceman.

I'll try again soon. The peer pressure of other games has kept me from it. Blame those bastards!

I'm on Magellan as well. You'll see me as Thorwald/HMS Albatross. Haven't been for about a week, but soon will be again once things around home slow down a bit. About to upgrade to a Lvl 3 Battleship.:arrgh!:
