Ironclads High Seas : the full game

[moet]

I open this topic to discuss the full IHS game (not only the demo). My first impressions are :

- This is a skirmish scale game, partly historical.
- The interface is very well adapted to the skirmish scale. I specially appreciate the use of simplified navigating instruments to change the direction or the speed of the boat.
- I regret the lack of information on ships, specially the localization of the damages and the weaponery of ennemy boats. At least, we should have the detailed specifications of the 12 types of ships in the manual.
- To avoid the loss of an entire group because of the heavy damage of its leader, the player should be empowered to change group leader during the battle, by moving the relevant icon to the left of the group window at the bottom on the screen.
- I think that ISH could become a really fun game ONLY if it gets multiplayer mode. Without it, the game won't be more than a good navigating school.
