Hehe, me too. SH4 is not the tool, sadly. Without a proper sailing model it would be as sucky as the games out there now.

Importantly, the SH engine treats casualties very poorly, IMO. I tried to make the deck crew take proper damage from small arms fire to no avail. It's be sort of fixed as I recall, but it's tied to the compartment in a weird way. The engine really doesn't do what we'd need it to.

I fear you are right about needing the SDK for something like this....and of course after the SH3 fiscal we know that ain't happening...hmmm maybe Duci may chime in here and and give an opinion.

I'd so love a good age of sail game.
