Ugh, we have to wait until February...

Naval battles were one of the things I missed the most in the Total War series (Mostly in Rome), good to see they're adding them in the era where they're really needed

Wow, that looks cool. Wonder if it will have fantasy sailing like potbs.

Probably.

Just as I feared:

Quote:

While watching gameplay of the naval fights, Mark spelled out the company's approach to the subject. "We are creating a naval battle with wind, maneuverability and ammo types," he says, "but it's important to stress that we're not going out of our way to create a rigid naval simulation in terms of the sailing aspect." That's in keeping with the series' goals of creating the impression of historical fighting without necessarily getting bogged down in tiresome details.

More eye candy with no substance.

That's the philosiphy they've stuck too for every Total War game thus far. They've yet to make a weak or uninvolving game.
