Bought the game due to the positive reviews being well written and constructed presenting both strong and weak points of the game rather than the negative ones which somehow did not justify any of the points they presented as weak.
Game is really good. The combat is more than I hoped for although now I come to see some shortcoming regarding wind but there's nothing in the history of games compared to naval combat of this game.
I wish I could also play established city dweller with an activity that influences the sea captains, something like a dedicated trader manager that sends ships to do whatever, and have them in the world flying my Company flag Or a naval architect and come up with designs.
