But would it even need to be a combat game primarily? I recently purchased the Paradox game East India Company, in which you operate trading ships. A sim game in which you captain a single trading vessel, running to Africa or India and back, trying to make a profit and dodge pirates, privateers and blockades, could be very compelling.
Sadly I don't have the historical or technical knowledge to make anything of the kind, but I can dream.  |
Yes the earning of rank and ships was exactly what i had in mind, Though I don't think you would SH4 (as far as making this a mod) would have the ability to add in trade per say so combat I feel would have to be its main function. Upgrading to new ships and new cannon training up crew, and of course We could implement era correct uniforms and since I have a real good understanding of RUIM we could manipulate the uniforms to reflect the rank of each crew member...even as they progress in rank.
